    Will the World Boxing Super Series find a TV home?

    The series starts in one month and has not found a home in either the US or UK.

    SHO/CBS
    HBO
    ESPN
    FS1/Fox
    NBC/NBC SN
    Spike

    Those are all options in US.

    I think the main problem is, that they want people to purchase EVERY single fight, rather than picking and choosing the ones they would prefer to promote/show

      Anything but Spike. They'll air it midnight after Worlds Craziest Police Chases and then show ads between every round. I think a good option would be BT Sport, since it's not PPV, but for one monthly payment includes all events, right now their package includes all UFC events and Ultimate Fighter tournaments.

        It was also a dumb idea to make every quarter-final headline its own show, especially while running two tournaments simultaneously. I guess they're trying to maximise ticket sales, but surely being TV friendly is more important for their long term success. The whole thing could have been three shows: one weight division (cruiser this time), the four quarter-finals on one card, the two semi-finals on one card and then the final
