ESPN and Top Rank are doing their jobs perfectly, in my opinion. They're doing what all platforms need to do (or continue doing) and that's reach out to CASUAL fans, not just nutthurt whining "hardcore" fans amongst us (op included).
They're had fighters fight through cuts (Fury/Wallin), fighters fight with broken jaws (Valdez), crazy KOs, and sadly...a fighter lost his life on air (Dadashev).
I mean this in the sincerest way, but ESPN is reaching more casual fans than I can last remember. I truly miss the Friday Night Fights days, but this even better TV than I can ask of ESPN.
They're giving the fans what they want (blood, guts, wars) and you're getting even better commentating from the likes of Ward and Bradley to balance out the Tessitores and Kreigels of the world.
Not just that but also it kept the casuals aware of what transcended during the week in the boxing world
And most importantly it wasnt restricted to one platform ( Top Rank )
It was just ESPNs Friday Night Fights
People keep listing good brawls and bloody fights lol.
I agree with the OP, they haven't offered any elite level boxing matches. The Mexican channel shows great brawls with tons of blood every weekend, it doesn't mean those are top level fights.

that is what is missing, the big fights. even the 175lb unification isnt exactly a big fight although its significant.

What's elite level boxing matches? If you mean Championship fights they show plenty of those if elite level to you means p4p they have 2 of 3 best p4p in the game
