If boxing on primetime is such a good idea, why did it leave?

    Some one was complaining about censorship on the open circuit TV channels like NBC and ABC etc are seriously stuck in 2002.

    They curse, show sex, violence etc on basic networks. Welcome to 2015. They do it all now.

      For the last decade people have begged for a UFC model and to have marquee boxing back on network television. Now all of a sudden one guy has people like Arum and Duva quaking in their boots and it's a bad thing? This is what you wanted!

          Yeah I don't get the complaint. As a Boxing fan this is great, as long as they're good match ups.
          I do want boxing to grow, but **** a casual fan. This is the best sport period. I actually watch mma. But whoever said that it is more exciting than boxing should kill their self. Yeah you get ko's but mostly you get boring hug fest. The Jones title fight, especially the last round was horrible, no action.
          Some of you guys just dislike Haynes so you want him to fail. If we get good matches then I'd support any promotional company. I think some of you guys are just CASUALS that follow boxing a lot.

            People way prefer UFC anyday. Theres way more action, and you don't get chess match fights like in boxing. And most importantly, the best fight the best.

            Boxing is the sport of crappy match ups.
            Too bad their paychecks don't reflect that sentiment...

                  Remember how excited fans were when the thought of Arum taking boxing to cbs got?

                  I wonder why people are complaining when it's actually being done and fans aren't being duped by it like the time cbs was supposed to do it with top rank
