The excitement you see isn't because people think it's a new concept. It's because it's an old one that works. Case in point: YOU grew up watching it, according to your post.
And not toward you specifically but it's ridiculous to pretend every fight has to be Corrales-Castillo I or this will fail. Yes, not every network fighter in the 80's and 90's were pound for pounders. But the increased visibility helped them which, in turn, helped the sport. Guys like Witherspoon, and Gamache etc. Oh, and the Chavez's, Nelson's, etc. too. If it does flop, then it flops. But side eye to any "fan" who comes across a little salty after reading the news.
It does? So why are they trying it again? Haymons matchmaking leaves alot to be desired. He has shown nothing to make anyone think hes not going to protect his undefeated fighters. Until then, many of us will look at it with a side eye.
