Why don't networks get behind the Sweetsciene anymore?

Almost everyone on here thinks Maidana is a bum and will lose every round to Maidana. He won't listen to your very wise comments.

lol tell me about it, man

I see almost no skill in what Maidana does. He was going life and death with Khan and Soto Karrass for Christ sake. If you notice the moment he stepped up to Alexander he got a schooling to go along with his beating. He's in for another beating vs Broner.

I've seen all his fights. Like I said he for a while had a tendency to abandon the jab, loop his punches, and smother his power on the inside. Basically making things more difficult than they had to be. A jabbing, crisper Maidana knocks Khan out and gives Devon a run for his money.

Oh, and about Devon. The guy knew how to fight against a pressure style. Remember, he had taken some hard knocks against Bradley so he knew something about what to do about a guy that's always in your face. It was a bad fight to watch but tactically brilliant. He would use his speed and sharpshoot from the outside and hold/clinch like a madman on the inside. That fight had over 100 clinches. It was up there with Klitschko/Povetkin. Maidana, who has shown himself to be willing to hone his skills, will be prepared for the clinching tactic, should Broner swallow his pride enough to employ it. He and his trainer, Garcia, will have something for that.

Boxing costs money. It is cheaper to show poker tournaments or some reality show than it is a fight card even if they have better ratings.

There is no sweet science n running n being in a clinchfest.

The same way u like slick boxers others like boxers who slug it out. Appreciate the sluggers if u want others to appreciate the slick guys.

So can someone tell me why the **** Adrien Broner isn't appreciated?

Oh sorry, because you guys get too caught up in the personality.

People put money on the table, either viewers or seats.

Why don't you become a promoter, you will be so good at making these sweet science fights.

can you explain your new persona to me? i don't get it, big dog.

They all became media whore!!check my boy zou,can't box for sheet!! Can't knock a fly out,but put ass on seat... just swallow it in guys!!!

It is fairly easy to understand boxing on a base level, and action fights are just simpler to understand everything is clear and generally speaking it is pretty clear who is winning and who is losing.

The sweet science is hard to understand, you have to watch tons of boxing to understand the subtle tactics a guy is using and even a trained eye can have a hard time figuring out who exactly is winning a fight like that. Most people don't have the time or energy to get into boxing at that level and a lot of people who watch boxing don't want to think hard while watching.

Plus true connoisseurs will take either while action fans only like one, so it makes sense for networks to play to the larger audience.

This whole boxing is going sheet now!!
