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

[Mitchell Kane]

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.

Yeah, some of the fights were good.

DuBoef said they were talking to Turner about possibly moving it to another network...we'll see.

It was nice to have more boxing on, but having it on TruTv never made much sense.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

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

I understand probably more than you but like I said I never understood why boxing cared about it, it got taken off for a reason he couldent compete with the content that was being provided to the networks so boxing found a niche on premium and these spanish station etc.

Or do you think boxing was hated on thats why it was pushed off network tv?

Murad Muhammad was a piece of ****

All promoters are. That's why you ask for half your money up front and the other half when you show up. He was the classic janky promoter. But he made **** happen. Sometimes he was successful, sometimes he failed.

MetroPCS probably not happy with the ratings as they were always around 250k.

Turner was paying around $200k per event for no tangible reason especially with that viewership.

Well at least PBC is providing a lot more primetime shows this year to offset the Top Rank series flop

I think the idea of HBO farming out a lower level show to help build guys up for HBO is a good idea. But they should not tie it just to 1 promoter. And maybe put it on a channel people actually watch.

[TBear]

That is a shame. Now I have no reason to visit that channel ever again.
