Comments Thread For: Curtis Stevens Set To Return on Kovalev-Ward Card - Off TV

[Eastcoast]

Hey guy's I'm from Toronto. There are no Canadian TV channels that show "free boxing" on any kind of regular basis whatsoever. We have HBO Canada, and once in a blue moon TSN will show a tape delay of a ESPN PBC show. Sportsnet will air tape delayed FS1 shows every now and then. As for anything else in Toronto, most basic cable packages have Spike, and the Buffalo affiliates for NBC and CBS shows. The Lemieux fight can be ordered on PPV for 'only' $59.99 which is around 45 bucks US. Very difficult to be a fan in this country.
here is the link to order:

So you have to pay for Lemieux's regular fights? Even when he fought guys like UpShaw and Swizerbinski?

Like I said , as a Canadian I believe it's way easier to follow boxing in the US.
NBCSN and Bounce are unavailable...CBSSN is an extra channel, we have the Fight Network available but that is extra as well. Our regular sports channels, TSN [ESPN affiliated] and Sportsnet [Fox affiliated] just show tape delay re-broadcasts. No national regular original programming since Steve Molitor ,the former IBF super bantamweight titleist around 2007-2010 era who had some fights nationally televised on TSN.

Damn, didn't know the bad news about Lemieux/Stevens. I was really looking forward to that and was rolling with Stevens all the way...

"I cant put him in with Mickey Mouse..." and yet David Lemieux will be fighting a Mickey Mouse in Canada and most likely on TV when he could have fought Curtis.

Lemieux wanted that fight too but nobody wanted to put the money up for it. He also got screwed over with his next opponent just not as much as Stevens.

Shame Lemieux/Stevens didn't get made.

Still don't understand why he's fighting off tv. It's not like we don't see a complete mismatch or two every week where a random guy is basically brought in off the street to be a knockout victim.
