As a Boxing Fan I am sad tonight

[Kevin Malone]

Proof Boxing is Dying the United States:

The 2 biggest names in the sport Mayweather and Pacquiao never fight in the United States.

Unfortunately, its doing very bad in North America and tonight was truly friggin embarassing.

Really? Many of the top selling PPV events of all time have been within the last few years. How is that 'doing very bad'?

I mean, I realize you're a young kid with absolutely no scope of the situation. But calm the **** down.

Jeebus chicken little relax. Showtime has like 5 more Shobox cards alone this year, the Super 6, while it's had issues, has been successful. Telemundo brought back Solo Boxeo (which is big in the United States, especially in the southwest). Top Rank Live was created and airs frequently on Fox Sports en Espanol and regional affiliates. HBO's ratings for boxing have been decent. Fight Night Club moved from Versus to Fox Sports Net. Lou DiBella made a new deal to re-air foreign fights on regional sports networks. Regional sports networks show some of the Golden Gloves amateur stuff. Regional sports networks air local fights (Watched a Philly card recently with Paulie Malignaggi announcing, Fox Sports Detroit airs Detroit area fights). ESPN will show the Klitschko fight online and on the network.

Relax dude.

Bump for dumb ass revealing the reality of boxing on TV in the United States.
