Boxing should have a show on Wednesday because that sucks when it comes to television night. Imagine, you just want to speed the week days and in the middle you get a good night of boxing to watch on Wednesday.
I look at the competition on Wednesday in terms of sports and it is like an open day. Showtime should move their New Generation ShoBox on Wednesdays and it'll give them more days too. Obviously, the setting for their shows would have to be either Las Vegas, Atlantic City, or a tourist spots to have people coming in. Also, I know the deal with attendance that there are obviously more people going to fights on Fridays to Sundays. However, if they create an incentive for people to come I think they will like a local boxing star in the undercard to bolster attendance. Still, Wednesday looks nice to have a boxing matches.
