    ESPN hasn't changed their treatment of boxing. I was a regular viewer of FNF. Most times they won't even air fights that's already going on at the same time with football which most times extends to overtime.

        Really? Any boxing coverage is good of course but 90% of FNF cards were obvious mismatches.

          Are we talking about the same thing?

          Back in the 90s, I was a teen who liked boxing. Weekly fights were free, and dudes fought often. If what you're saying is true, I wasn't discerning enough to notice.

          I specifically remember pernell, angel manfredi, gatti, morrison, dlh, young mayweather coming up, and a whole bunch of others whose names escape me right now cuz Im tired.

            DAZN won't last 20 years, or even 30 for that matter.

            Not with putting funding to guys like ODLH and his ****ty promotional company.

              Yes, all those fighters were there but they fought totally outclass opponents. They would outline that nights entire card and you could pick the winners at a 95% clip.

                I still liked it, and I wish we had weekly free fights again. Closest thing is Probox, which is usually surprisingly good, and great at times.
