Top Rank's Friday Series (TRUTV) was Cancelled?

[Pigeons]

Impractical Jokers is the best thing to come outta that channel

Meanwhile... "Billy on the Street" was renewed for it's 5th Season! :8

Those shows you watch now and again but would never tell anyone. Especially the second one.

When was this announced?

It was a ****** deal setup by HBO that only gave rights to TR, should've been more promoters involved. And HBO should be setting up boxing on TBS or TNT, not some crap channel.

Ratings never broke 400k viewers. Mainly hovered around 200k.

No surprise, they were putting on weak fights on an obscure channel.

Yet that was supposed to be Top Rank's big rebuttal to PBC's venture... LOLz

Arum isn't interested in growing the sport to a wider audience so he won't invest money into it. He relies solely on licensing fees. These companies aren't promoters in the traditional sense of the word. Promoters get out there and make it happen and are creative. Murad Muhammed said these promoters don't know how to create money. I know he had some financial issues but he was creative and always found different streams of revenues. Sometimes it worked sometimes it didn't and he took a loss. All promoters take a loss but for some reason Arum doesn't feel he should take a loss for the greater good of the sport and to grow the sport. But Haymon gets criticized for going out and finding new capital to invest in the sport to bring in a wider audience. It might work, it might not work, but all boxing fans should be rooting for boxing to gain a wider audience.

That sucks, I was genuinely enjoying most of them. They produced some good fights and it was interesting to see their prospects develop.

We got Nonito vs Juarez, Avalos vs Valdez, we got to see Felix Verdejo develop further, Saul Rodriguez, Gilberto Ramirez, a compelling fight in Tapia vs Soro.

Oh well, I hope they find a new home soon and they continue giving us some interesting cards.

I dont get all the damn hype about network tv etc, we always had azteca, univision, telemundo, just put it on one of those channels.

you do realize people dont hate the fact taht haymon is putting boxing on free tv right? its what he is trying to do with the PBC brand and turn that into a UFC type of platform where all his fighters only fight each other and hence we wont have a real worldwide sport anymore just a semblance of the sport. a league.

That's because you live in a tiny world that doesn't understand reach, numbers, and market growth lol
