    I think so....in some capacity. Tyson-Mathis Jr. was on Fox I think, although I think there were extenuating circumstances. I don't think there would be a regular thing but I believe if there were a sensation like Tyson or Oscar once was, then maybe it could happen. I think it would take something extraordinary though. Recall that Showtime is under the CBS umbrella so if it made any fiscal sense down the line, there are open avenues

      no way unless people like me stop purchasing ppv fights, and purchasing hbo and showtime subscriptions..even espn is not free it comes in a sports package you have to pay for ....so i don't see how boxing will be on nbc, abc, or cbs..
