Comments Thread For: Monday Night Is Alright For Boxing

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Jake Donovan - By the time the National Football League is ready to kick off the 2013 season, Fox Sports 1 will have invaded what used to be sacred ground with two fight cards having aired on Monday nights.

With Monday Night Football no longer what it once was, that makes what boxing is attempting to do a welcome change to the norm.

“We’re good with it,” says Golden Boy Chief Marketing Officer Bruce Binkow of the inevitable competition coming from Monday Night Football, which posted record-low ratings in 2012. “We’re an alternative for sports fans who don’t necessarily want to watch football on Mondays, and we’re happy to provide that outlet.”

Golden Boy’s latest boxing series – which airs Monday nights on the newly formed Fox Sports 1 network – debuted in mid-August with a show live from New York City. The headliner saw Daniel Jacobs continue his miraculous comeback, knocking out Giovani Lorenzo in three rounds to re-establish himself as a middleweight contender. [Click Here To Read More]

I don't like this. As the first poster said, I would rather it be on Saturdays. I love my MNF, I also love my boxing, but don't make me choose.

What about on Fridays since FNF season is over

If they time it properly and the main event hits at halftime they could get a decent amount of switch over. Boxing is tough to time like that though but they could also replay at like midnight or 12:30 right after the game ends.

NFL is really only 17 weeks of the year on Monday, so that leaves a lot of other Mondays.

Not bad viewership, too bad that'll take a hit with MNF

This (although, any day is a good day for boxing in my book)

I'm amped for the additional coverage

The Danny Jacobs card was a worthy opening
