Networks and the little guys

[HeroBando]

That's why there's Shiming on HBO2, to catch guys like this on the undercard.

I thought after the Viloria-Estrada fight HBO or Showtime would announce one of these little guys' fight but nope...

Sorry, they don't interest casual fans. It's not fair, but it is what it is. People don't care about watching people that much smaller than the average man, especially because the chances of brutal one punch KOs are small.

Sure people wanna see KOs but as long as there's action they wont be disappointed.

Dont know where ******s get the perception that these guys cant punch. Look at segura, marquez, viloria, chocalatito, sosa, solis all of these guys have great power and ko most of their opponents.

I almost never find entertainment in the little guys. They just tend to have ****ty fights almost all the time since the gloves weigh as much as them

Brutal KO's or not smaller guys just don't sell. People in general aren't interested. It's only hardcore fans who enjoy watching flyweight bantamweight..etc

And then you get 20 pages of crying about Rigo's predicament. He already has a lot working against him, plus he competes in a division most viewers don't wanna watch, even some hardcore fans in this thread.

Not saying this isn't true but has this theory ever been tested? Has any one of the networks ever pushed a little guy like they push GGG? Or the same way they have tried to shove Broner down our throats when he was on HBO?

Wish they'd start covering the champs from Japan as well. Guys like Yamanaka and Uchiyama are a must-watch. They're both defending their respective title before 2013 ends. But unfortunately, no American network will be televising their fights.

Uchiyama is all action, really want to see more of him stateside

[haverespect]

I try to like the very low weight classes but honestly it is hard to be excited for a fight when the guys fighting are the size of a high school girl

Agreed and whenever I've attended live fights they are always the undercard i dread and just want to get through as quick as possible as the chance of a ko is real slim pickings
