Boxing did not bomb during the Olympics. It pulled CNBC's highest TV ratings in two years since the Winter Olympics. I wish the lazy ass boxing journalists would get this through to people more. I'm sick of hearing people say it bombed all the time. It didn't. There's no mincing words with this.
This is what boxing actually did:
The home of Olympic Boxing, CNBC averaged 449,000 viewers for its 5-8 p.m. ET Olympic coverage, it's best weeks in the time period since the week of Feb 22, 2010 (Vancouver Olympics).
It sucks NBC put boxing on CNBC in the first place but it was still a huge success for the network, not a failure.
After the Olympics some troll writer went around spreading rumours that boxing had bombed on CNBC. He managed to get the same article copy and pasted onto other sites as well, but it isn't remotely true at all.
Look it's copy and pasted all over the place

I would like to know more about this writer and why he chose to make this story up and spread it about like this. Why can't boxing journalists be bothered to fight back against this people? If this was MMA they'd hang this guy by his knees and pelt him with rocks until he apologised. This guy gave boxing a lot of bad press. Anyone who wants to know how boxing faired during the Olympics will get led to that fake article.
