More exposure and more fans would be better for the sport. If it does catches on again I wonder how it would affect live tickets prices

and I think that a lot people still don't know that.
So how do you guys feel about Boxing back on Network TV?
Will this open the floodgates for more events on NBC, FOX and so on?

I remember a time where boxing was a big part of Saturday and Sunday viewing on network tv. Not only NBC, but ABC and CBS as well.
I would plan my weekend around those daytime telecasts.
An era truley missed!!

Originally posted by Frank Ducketts View PostFights like Adamek Cunningham should be on free television. I don't think that the networks will touch boxing though. CBS, FOX, NBC, ABC imo won't invest in boxing. Maybe a show here and there but I doubt the flood gates will open. #Ihopetheydolol!

Originally posted by paulf View PostWhat am I trying to say? I'm saying that, despite having a much smaller subscriber base than network TV, the above shows are incredibly popular and known very very well by the general public. Meanwhile, Boxing, which takes place on the same network as these incredibly well known shows, is all but a ghost to average Americans.
Thanks for supporting my point even more.
Since sub networks like HBO are cut off they get smaller ratings. So if the Sopranos can get 5 million on HBO it would likely blow most other shows out of the park if it was on network TV. Likewise, tennis on HBO managed something like between 200k-500k on HBO, whereas on network TV it has reached 6 million. Boxing would likely see the exact same increase in viewers if it was switched to network TV.Last edited by croz; 11-10-2012, 10:17 AM.
