    The issue is not with the promoter or anything, it's with the nation's perception/appreciation of the sport of boxing. Somehow, research needs to be conducted as to how people can be brought to the sport as newer viewers. Boxing needs a larger fanbase. People in general (besides fans like us) aren't going to just tune into boxing just because it's on network TV. There needs to be some appeal to draw people in and typically that appeal is a guaranteed KO.

      This is a step in the right direction for boxing. Not the best commercial but not horrible.
      Well honestly, what he has offered us as fans over the past 2 years hasn't helped his rep in that regard. If he really starts putting on killer fights and tries to build the sport up then I will sing his praise but as of yet, he hasn't done shizz to make me a believer.

        Correct. This is the kind of thinking that he and his team need to be doing. Put yourself in the shoes of someone who isn't currently a big fan of boxing. What would interest you? What would make you want to watch boxing (besides the obvious fact that it is boxing)?

          Of course we will. That's completely besides the point. We don't need any convincing. People who need convincing are people who don't watch boxing, and this commercial ****** if the purpose was to bring in new viewers.

            The Broner fight is actually pretty good.

            Molina is going to open a massive can of ass whooping.

                      It's pretty disgusting how some people want this to fail. Do you actually care about the sport or do you hate one person so much you hope whatever he supports you are against? Deplorable.
