    Will we ever get a Boxing Network.

    There is stations for the NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, Tennis, Nascar and Golf. I think there is a Soccer/ Futbol network also. So, will we ever get one? Will it work with so many promoters?

      Not on TV. If it ever happens it will be streamed like the WWE site.

        Nope. Never gonna happen. With major league sports, there is one governing body that controls the sport. This is not a possibility with boxing. Other sports such as hockey, baseball, football, etc... all have players' unions to represent the athletes, something else that does not and really can not exist in boxing due to the way the sport is structured.

          So the only possible way is if something like a WBC or WBA Network. Or a Top Rank or PBC network.

              NEVER! Boxing is not even that Popular, a network would be a total flop. They all need to focus on getting consistent Ratings on other Networks before staring their own.

              Anybody seen the Ratings this past weekend? Boxing took a major L, Ratings was absolute **** for both events to no surprise. Not only did they go up against a huge College football game which Drew 7.6 Millions Views but also a big UFC PPV Event

              Boxing has a long way to go in America, if anything is seems to be declining badly

                No boxing and MMA are distant rivals. That would be like NFF Network showing Arena Football games or NBA TV televising And 1 Streetball tournaments.

                    HELL NO! Boxing is not that popular, look at what happened to Oscar with his old show, it failed. Look at PBC he thought there was enough boxing fans to support it, look on this site, the so called "hardcore" boxing fans dont support it, because of boxer affiliations. Boxings problems are being layed out to bare doing this internet age. No one can accept a loss without it being a robbery or someone being paid off. So only ko's will suffice and even then youre fighting bums. You cant win with boxing there are too many "other" reasons fans believe you win, and hard work is not one of them to be considered. And 1 loss youre ruined and a bum...lol. BOXING HAS ****** FANS, look in the mirror. We have **** for fans, they all think they know more than actual boxers or trainers. Maybe we need a internet show with boxing fans with known screen names fighting...
