Comments Thread For: Ratings Trend Suggests There Can Be 'Too Much Boxing'

[ShoulderRoll]

PBC boxing did numbers on par with US Open golf and that's a bad thing? Seems like a positive to me.

One thing I do agree on is that boxing cards on tv shouldn't compete with each other. It's ****** for HBO or Showtime or BET or whoever to go head-to-head during the same time slot when they can spread their telecasts out to different dates instead. Don't overesaturate one weekend then leave other weekends completely empty with no boxing at all.

There's a ton of boxing on television these days.

Last night there were 4 fight cards that were all going pretty much at the same time....on SHO, TruTV, CBSSN and FS1.

It's great to see so many networks televising boxing, and having that many viewing options.

On the other hand, even with DVR's, there's only so many fights you can watch/record at one time...although I don't mind watching fights for the first time on replay, and most of these networks do replay fight cards hours or days later.

Too many shows, on too many channels, at around the same time. People like to find it all in one place not go hunting for it.

true......
