    Yeah ESPN have far more mainstream sports like the NBA for example. Boxing is essentially an afterthought.

      Exactly
      They’ve even jumped on the NHL
      Imagine that at one point the NHL used to be an afterthought

        Friday Night Fights was cancelled because no one watched it.

        It was averaging less than 400k viewers at the end, with some shows in the 200k viewers range, a 0.1 rating.

        ESPN didn't give up on boxing - they'd spent serious money to get the Arreola-Stiverne fight on ESPN.

        Fans gave up on FNF

          The reason they gave up on it ( fans ) was because their shows wouldn’t start on time and then they would kill it prematurely
          Also I recall sometimes J cutting out the ending so they can show Sport enter etc etc etc
