        As much as I hate to say it, Al Haymon is taking the steps to popularize boxing. Having all the big fights on premium channels really limits the amount of exposure it can potentially have. I think bringing it back to network television is a huge step in the right direction to making boxing mainstream.

              Quality match-ups on free network television would be a good start. That to me is the foundation. The rest is up to the fighters.

              If you show it......they (the fans) will come.

              HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THIS SPORT??!!!

                A few things:

                -Putting matches on network TV
                -Having fighters (top fighters especially) fight more often
                -Having a system where top fighters can eventually fight each other. What other sport can you have two top teams/players avoid each other? Can you imagine the Patriots being like "Nah, we don't want to face Seattle this year"
