    Competition is what pushes people to better level. The approach where the networks have an understanding, of who is going to get what date, results in poor cards and mismatches. An environment where they're competing for buyers will force both networks into putting on the best show they possibly can.

    As a consumer you should be happy that you have the choice of picking the best possible product.
    To me that is a huge huge deal. As a fan of the sport i dont want to choose which one to watch when the next week we may not get anything. Spreading them out gives us more fights on more weekends.

    And i have a 1 year old so the days of a full day/night of boxing are gone.

        Am sorry but i have to disagree, all this causes is more division and more cold war and vendettas all you will see is the best in house fights.

            Boxing fans carry on with a lot of ******ity. The response to that is to have more frequent fights. What's that? You can't have too many ppv a year? Great! Is there anything wrong with having semi high profile fights air week in week out with PPV being reserved for the truly exceptional fights?

            People wonder why boxing isn't mainstream when the answer is clear. It's not accessible.

              Oh less PPV im all for. This year alone has been crazy.

              And i agree that boxing should attempt to become more mainstream by putting fights on regular TV. Not these crappy Duva fights but bigger names to intrigue the public interest.

              ESPN tried it with Wlad but that bombed but they shouldnt stop there.

                    What a fanboy. Just admit you're worried about your TBE idol not getting his proper share of the PPVs. What are you, his father? I don't get these silly concerns. You need to wake up doe.
