    When does boxing take a break?

    2018 has been awesome so far with plenty of meaningful fights and exciting fights, but it gets a little bit exausting keeping up lol.

    Every weekend I watch one or two british broadcasts, maybe some obscure fights from south africa or I get lucky and even germany has an important fight for a change.

    Then around 2 am, I start watching the undercards for the USA cards. Lately there have been simultaneous cards and if i dont have luck, the fights dont end before 6 am.

    Throw in some japanese card at lunch time and my whole weekend revolves around boxing and my sleeping pattern is always f ucked up.

    Give my 2 weeks holidays plz lol

      currently doing live play betting, so need to watch live.

      I did the youtube or download thing before, girlfriend had to start the video, so I couldnt see the duration. Worked pretty well.

        If you are watching all the televised fights live from all over the globe all the time, I couldn't do that personally all the time week after week, then do you usually get "off" 2 weeks ever anyway?

                i dont think it was always this loaded. 2017 and 2018 have been great years for boxing so far and all in all there are more boxing outlets than before.
                before that I remember January and February not having any interesting fights at all. most are reorganizing and don't want to fight right after Christmas new year.
                there also always was a summer break with no big fights for a longer stretch of time and the period right before the end of October before hbo and Showtime usually spend the rest of their boxing budget.

                now there are decent to great fights nearly every weekend. I'm not watching super obscure cards around the world, but if there are top10 contenders involved with a somewhat challenging matchup I'll probably watch.
