    Comments Thread For: BoxingScene 2015 Network of the Year: Spike TV

    Can there be too much of a good thing?

    Boxing fans in 2015 had a chance to answer that question. The sport was everywhere this year in terms of television coverage. For those diehards who watch across multiple linguistic platforms, there were weeks with sometimes close to ten different fight shows from afternoon to night.

    Yep. There is no doubt about it, Spike was the best channel this year. I'll just sit back and enjoy the incoming hate

      Spike was easily the best PBC channel. Even though they dumped all the second rate matchups on there, they all ended up being the best fights, and the production and commentary was very solid. Hopefully they get a chance with some of the bigger fights next year.

        im inclined to agree..pbc on spike was stacked and always exciting..actually one of my favorite teams to listen to as well whenever they dont have shawn porter on.
        i think there were 3 possible foty candididate on spike
        the asian brawl ruined by the ref
        huckglowacki
        fonfaracleverly
        ..spike was so good that i wouldnt be surprised if i missed one.
        PBC might be failing according to numbers but i really wish they wouldnt..i love all the boxing they bring..i cant imagine going to back to waiting around for 3 saturdays to pass again.

          Nice to see Spike unseat the premium cable channels domination of this field in the past. I definitely find Spike to be the most enjoyable overall boxing show with its solid production & superior commentary. And just overall enjoyment & appreciation of boxing which I think too few boxing shows do. Give me a Rogan-like guy in boxing all day who's glass is half full vs Lampley ****ting on elite boxers all night long with his glass half empty.

              I agree 100%. Of all the other PBC stations, Showtime and HBO, the Spike shows had the most entertaining fights. Some crazy sh|t went on there. It was great stuff

                Well deserved, every time I tuned into Spike I was pleasantly surprised. They had very evenly matched fights all year.

                    Great fights on Spike this year. Berto-Lopez, Dirrell-Jack, Khan-Algieri, Lara-Rodriguez, Tarver-Cunningam, Stevenson-Karpency, Fonfara-Cleverly, Rodriguez-Seals, and Barthelemy-Shafikov were the main events.

                    2 official FOTY noms came from Spike, Huck-Glowacki and Fonfara-Cleverly.
