    well,based on the post above us,the biggest fights we're going to see,is pothead chavez vs fonfara,and adonis quackinson vs bika. Do those cards sound like they're worth waiting for?

          Leave it to boxing fans to be upset about getting better quality fights.

            honestly when u really start looking into what haymon is doing its going to be great for fans. i can see why people dont like haymon since the last few years his cards have been more of showcases but when u really start looking into what he is doing its going to be great for fans and i think its also going to work

              Well,for the sake of boxing,i honestly hope that you're right. One ray of hope is that on bigjavi973's post,it said that it will be supported by mayweathers may 2nd fight,so something might have already been solved,and they're just waiting to announce it.

                lol ya i was thinking the same thing. haymon will be placing top notch cards on espn 2. "how dare you haymon leave friday night fights alone" lol people are so stubborn what are u going to say when he keeps making good matchups and cards and its not just a one time thing on march 7th? my guess is u guys will find something

                  I never watched Friday Night Fights. I prefer high-profile fights and PBC will bring high-profile fights. Friday Night Fights didn't do anything to bring more fans to the sport. Hopefully big-name fighters on ESPN attract more fans.

                    I love boxing so maybe I am the wrong person to comment on this since I pretty much will watch anyone any night. Having a better card like the Stiverne-Arreola bout wouldn't be such a bad thing. Though I do like some FNF.

                    There will be ALOT more boxing on regular television in general so STFU with the whining just because it's Haymon.

                      If MMA didn't completely take off with the casual fight fanbase on these secondary sports channels, I don't see how boxing can do any better. I truly don't.
                      UFC's problem is having a PPV every damn month, sometimes twice a month like this month. They have only a couple cards a year on FOX, all the other cards are on Fox Sports 1 which is still a relatively new/unknown channel. They did have a card on FS1 last month that did very high ratings.

                      PBC is going to be on CBS, ESPN, and NBC among other channels- those three are HUGE especially in comparison to FS1
