Why are HBO and Showtime allowing TR and GB to fight each other?

ever heard of a DVR?

I shouldn't have to DVR my premium channels when I'm at home waiting for boxing, plus I'm one the few who's in here talking boxing in the RBR threads.

Please post the last time UFC and Strikeforce were held on the same day, and you comparing boxing to the major sports is idiotic statement.

Which is why I said boxing/fight fans are behind with the times. Did you ever consider why Basketball and Football are so much bigger than boxing/UFC? People are literally spoiled for choice with what they can watch. The competition means that each team has to put on a show/event in order to attract viewers.

With boxing and UFC the fans are usually at the mercy of the promoters because they do not have the option of taking their business elsewhere. You want to watch a boxing event? You have to deal with a crappy undercard because you have no other option.

This year they have been going at more but TR has been putting on better cards this year then years past. I think the new guy at HBO has something to do with it. I like the idea of having Showtime and HBO trying to out due each other. I mean where getting the fights that we want to see now. So what's wrong with having a night full of boxing just this month on sept 15th we had 8 fights in one night. As a fan I got HBO and Showtime just to watch these great fights coming up.

But boxing will never be as big as football in the USA, boxing competes with college football on Saturdays, now you guys are okay with them stealing money from each other.

I agree but **** these greedy promoters and networks trying to make me choose.

They do whats best for them. like the CEO and investors of HBO and Showtime give a **** if you have to use your DVR. They dont work for you they work for the company.
