Whether you like Al Haymon/PBC isnt the topic here. My question is, has boxings return to prime time network television increased its popularity (from what you have heard/seen) amongst casuals & the average sportsfan? Have any coaches/boxers or gym goers seen an increased amount of people wanting to learn the sweet science?
Personally i train my boys out of a MMA dominant gym so im sure you could imagine the slack we get only training for boxin but Pre Pac vs May word around the gym was boxing was going to be making a HUGE comeback & class sizes & memberships were expected to skyrocket, there was even all kinds of talk about boxing being on free tv. Now i know May 2 left a bad taste in fight fans mouths in general but there has literally has been no talk about boxing on primetime since. Im all for boxing for free, hbo, showtime whatever but wasnt the point of boxing being on primetime suppose to "revive" the sport? Because so far its just become an NSB debate & gives true boxing fans a bigger divide in choosing sides...
