Comments Thread For: Showtime's Espinoza: There's Too Much Boxing On TV

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

"Unless you’re the hardest of hardcore fans, it’s tough to figure out which are the big fights, which are the medium fights, which are prospect fights. You tune in not really knowing what to expect. It’s hard for all of us to sort of remember what platform, what fights, where, what they mean.”

Can't blame anyone but the commissions and sanctioning bodies that allow this BS. Boxing is the only sport with this problem.

What he's saying is true in that respect. I've heard way too many people I know lately say "I watched this show the other night on ESPN/FS1 and it was horrible, this is why I don't watch boxing anymore"

He’s single handily combating the problem of too much boxing on TV.

I support Showtime and have always respected Espinoza for the integrity he demonstrates and has done so for years in my eyes.

But I can't even lie...this comment was SAVAGE lmao.

No, the problem is that all of these people who run the boxing industry refuse to work together to make boxing much bigger. If they worked together boxing wouldn't take the backseat to these other sports. Better title fights, no ridiculous marination. Actual stacked cards. Less paid off judges and refs. Coordination so that networks aren't clashing on same night/time. Basic **** that would help a lot.

It can't be denied hes making a very valid point.

But I think this is boxing being shoved down people's throats to try to "hook" them. It can work, but we need proper fights to do so. Without them, it won't be that effective.

The problem isn't the amount of fights or the various networks you have to scour to find them on. The problem is the QUALITY. And the quality consistently sucks(as it has for a looooooooooong time now).

Dazn overpaying their marquee fighters to face garbage opposition isn't helping AT ALL. But they're just part of the overall problem/s in the sport.

He's got a point. I miss the stacked cards we used to have. There are guys head lining who have no business doing so

[sicko]

I like Espinoza but I completely disagree!

If anything it is not enough because Boxing goes a bit Dark during College Football season so boxing is not consistantly on enough to build up new stars and new fans compared to other sports

Boxing needs more exposure not less

[Tyistall]

I'm still wondering what happened to Wilder, Espinoza and their "loyalty" hahahahha
