ESPN Boxing Staff Says "Let the hype begin!" WTF?????

[extracurRICular]

I wish I had a way with words like you do.

Well you can wish all you want in one hand and take a **** on the other and see which one fills up first....

I C.....yeah that's exactly what Im talking bout.......

I'm with you definitely. Regardless of if they have the fights or not, they do a piss poor job of covering the sport.

"No one watches boxing anymore" -ESPN

Yeah well maybe if you covered it more than once a year for the annual DLH mega-scam, people would watch it more.

It's funny, people would get all hyped for DLH fights, meanwhile there's fights like Cotto-Margarito going down and casual fans don't have a clue. I wonder why?

[rskumm21]

their boxing department is headed by a tub of lard. that's why.

Yeah that Dan Rafael is a pile of ****e.

I think a great move for HBO or Showtime would be sign a similar contract to what UFC did. Allow ESPN to come to your fights and cover the after math and the pre fight build up, it would make a difference, and make business sense for both. Boxing is a big money sport and ESPN is kicking them to the side. I see more professional bowling coverage on that network for christ's sake.

Find your junk yet???

Sigh. This board is full of children.

Yes sir!

I've been complaining about this for years.

What's funny is that what ESPN actually does in terms of boxing isn't bad.

I mean, FNF is a great show in my opinion. They get awesome guests on the show and Tessitore is really a class act. They also put together good cards a lot of the time. Dan Rafael is decent I think, and when they have him on, it's usually quality coverage.

They just don't do enough of it.

What do you mean "allow"?

The press are issued credentials to cover the HBO fights. Don't you see DR sitting there on press row?

You are making statements without an understanding of the mechanics, and the Disney economics. I would like to understand the ways that you are more qualified than Scott Guglielmino.

There's my beef right there........just not enough...they really need to re tool the way they are doing things over there!
