Boxing will be great on one network just like the Nfl Nba Mlb Nhl Mls and every other professional sports league. Those leagues tell you every year what their schedule is and what you will be watching and you don't have a problem with that. I've been saying for 5 years the only thing that can save AMERICAN boxing is PBC and TR on the same network. If that happens they should dump the Orgs and create their own belts. MR/Dazn are irrelevant because they only have 4 or 5 AMERICAN boxers on their roster. GBP is in court fighting to save their only relevant boxer. Only Al and Bob can save it
No bueno for nobody and you certainly can’t compare any of those organizations to boxing
Apples and oranges
For that to work , boxing would have to go into a total revamp eliminating ALL the promoters including your boyfriend uncle Al

Care to explain how boxing will be great by being all on one network ?
So now that one network can have us by the balls and tell us what to watch and at their price ?
Is that what you mean by great all on one network ?

Those different sports have a dominant professional organization led by a commissioner overseeing operations. The owners are essentially a voting body like a parliament.
Boxing doesn't have that organization. There isn't a dominant organization (like how MMA has the UFC). To make matters even more fractured and complicated, you have different sanctioning bodies that have different "championships".
I'm not sure we will ever get something close where all boxing content is on one network or provider. It would require a content provider having enough funds and desire to acquire their rights.
I'm not sure if there is a solution, and I'm not really spending too much time thinking of one. I just hope that boxing is still offered in some type of affordable and accessible format that will allow me to continue to watch and enjoy it.

People should not count on ESPN. Boxing always plays second fiddle to ESPN just like in the FNF days. They'll let their boxing fans scream hell and would rather show the rest of the Football game while Top Rank boxing is already in progress. They don't care about boxing that much.
