    Why boxing is always being rushed and not other sports? - espn

    What i mean is if a baseball, basketball or football game is on they will show the whole game and even put interviews "then" show boxing.

    Now, today i was watching the replay of shika v. pemberton -hell of a fight awsome 12 round- and i was expecting an interview expecially after a war like this one. Instead they show no interview and they have tesstorote talking 1 million words a second just so they can go off air. And they rushed boxing for some ****** swinning trials or some **** like that. I just dont' understand why boxing always gets last place no matter what chezzy sport is on next.

    it's simple - boxing isn't mainstream and on tv like it was in the 80's.

        They only have an hour on ESPN Classic. They don't have a whole lot of time, and they have to do commercials. We should just be glad they even show classic modern fights such as this.

            Most of the fights I even see on WNF and FNF are boring and just one sided fights. Neither boxer showing a lot of skill or anything like that. Some of the records the boxer's have is just rediculous anyway..

                What is extremly? As long as their competitive fights or a good show of ko's its cool by me. I know some people complained about wnf but i thought it was good to see all those ko's doesn't always happen so to see that type of pain bout after bout in my opinon was entertaining.

                    No, I understand this was a replay but this fight film was unedited and so when it first aired tessertoe was rushed to show swimming.
