    And they're only known because they feature on Sportsenter. I don't watch a number of sports like Golf or Baseball but I know about it because of ESPN.
    They will never be known if ESPN doesn't feature it unless they're fighting Mayweather. That's how I know about the other sports I don't watch.

      And you just sort of answered your own question. If he did talk about Spence, they wouldn't have covered it.

      Boxing isn't a main stream sport.
      But it is their job to make it into the audience.
      To teach, to share the news.

        Not enough people care. Boxing turns a lot of people off.

              Boxing fans may say those things. Someone who doesn't watch boxing on the regular would not know their is 4 belts.

              Just like someone who doesn't watch NBA on the regular wouldn't know the West Conference is top heavy compared to the East and it's been that way since the beginning of the 2000s.

                As an EXTREMELY ******* network who has lost millions of viewers because of their blatant pushing of ******* ideologies on them, you would think that they would pay a little more attention to a sport that is a leader in helping inner city kids stay out of trouble and off the streets in *******ly inundated urban centers.
