    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.
    When ESPN does cover fights (only mega fights of course) they aren't allowed to air highlights of the fight for the most part. If they are, it's usually a brief clip that has no significance on the fight.

    Sure, Dan Rafael is there at the press conference after, but that's about it.

    They should get Brian Kenny or Tessitore or someone to go there before the fight, give their predictions etc. Then they can do the highlights after and comment on the fight. It wouldn't be a lot of time, and it wouldn't be that expensive to do, but it would go a ways to increasing boxing's popularity in the main stream.

    Today, all things sports in America filters through ESPN, and if boxing is not filtering through that company, it will always be on the outside looking in.

        There was (is!) an article in the USA Today. Other than that, if you look at what there has been (not FUTURE as you are referring to), then you will see that my statement is accurate.

        I believe that Pac is scheduled for Kimmel next month.
        Let's hear how you'd help promote this fight.

        Give some examples.

          LOL geez guys, just enjoy the fight.

          The people who are being biggots about how bad it's going to do are watching the fight regardless, just like those who hated on Mayweather vs Marquez.

          LOL people think they're marketing geniuses or expert trainers up in this ***** lol. I'm waiting for ring announcers next.

              LOL

              I'm serious though, people front so hard like they actually have a say in what happens in the negotiation and marketing process in making a fight. The few that I've seen that are "actually" in the business you don't hear a lot from, because they're actually "WORKING" in that field. LOL, you could be Moses on the internet, but in reality those people are gonna buy the PPV they spend countless hours on here bashing.

              "Cotto vs Pacquiao aint gonna do ****!!! (brb gonna go order Cotto vs Pacquiao)
