Breaking News : Boxing back on NBC/Versus

[Evil Abed]

Maybe NBC.

I believe it when I see an advertisement.

[Bombs]

Ughhhh... I'd rather keep it as it is. NBC and free networks suck.

wtf????????????????????

[Bombs]

Ehhhhhh I don't know. I just don't think this is as exciting as it sounds. First, they're going to put bums on NBC... and if they do put good events on there I'd hate it as I like the HBO BAD/PPV events. They're more professional in their presentation and stuff.

NBC sucks and anything free like that will make it look crappy.

This is good if the fights are good, competitive, and feature recognizable fighters. Adamek is almost never in a bad fight; Judah has name recognition; hopefully these level fighters and good opponents can be in these dates.

$100K might not be enough to bring in the best figthers, but there are plenty of fighters other willing to split it, especially prospects and fighters on the comeback trail.

I hope they don't ruin it like Top Rank did the Versus deal. Seriously, you have any idea how hard it is to get boxing on TV and when you do is give the people a bunch of Tye Fields is an insult to the fans.

[The Gambler1981]

Makes sense, NBC has shown boxing in the past so going there with their sports network is something they can do, and it isn't even that pricey.

I had been wondering if this would come about, but good news.

Network TV can only help boxing come out of its dark ages.

Boxing needs to re-enter the Mainstream.

This could be a first step.

But like said I don't believe yet.

i agree man

[Rocky Rode]

I like it, but I really hope they get good matchmakers. Main Events doesn't really have a great stable, so I really hope they talk to other promoters about making fights happen.
