Don't forget to support boxing on ESPN, it starts with us

I know the numbers are usually casually fan base driven, but I'm sure all of us have ESPN main and can watch it on the tele.

Word I got from those at ESPN is that if Stiverne-Arreola does a million viewers, they will do another fight of this nature #boxing

If this is true... that doesn't seem to hard to accomplish.... I don't know if any LA teams are playing today, but This is the first HW title fight in a while where a Klit-bro isn't involved.

I'm going to leave my T.V on in Guam while I'm out, so hopefully that counts towards it.

Lol, it won't. They havent marketed it at all. Not one commercial or quick add coming back from a commercial.

They are hoping that enough hardcores will tune in I guess?

ESPN needs to show some patience. If it does better than the Klitschko fight and their FNF series then that's a plus right?

Has ESPN covered any of the conferences or weigh in or advertised it at all?

It's just another piss poor attempt at a network trying to hit a homerun with HW boxing without puttig time, money, or effort into it.. Then all the pundits on espn shows will say boxing is dead, because it does bad with zero promotion.

NBCS should gather more praise. They just don't have the type of reach ESPN has. Not even close.

I haven't seen squat on ESPN....haven't been on it much, but haven't seen much.

Had a prime opportunity with all these b-ball games and hockey games

More people will tune in to this fight than the Grabomir Klinchko vs Samoan truck driver fight.

I haven't see anything on TV about the fight, its a shot in the dark but hey, its for a Heavyweight title.

[DannYankee]

Lets hope theres 1 mil non busy hardcore fans with espn nearby.

If this can't beat a million... i'd be surprised.
