The layoff is really hurting this fight.

can espn do tonight's show without multiple 30 minute talking breaks. ufc keeps it moving and now whenever I watch boxing, I'm just like wtf is taking so long?

Boxers not fighting often enough is killing the sport. In this day and age you need to keep catching headlines because news changes quick.

Why would you expect anybody to give a **** about boxers who fight one good fight a year and a sure thing tuneup as a second fight at best. That does nothing for the profile of the boxer or the sport as people lose interest.

Then to put that **** behind subscription or PPV paywalls? Come on, it's not rocket science.

Man that's a keen point to mention. Some boxers I'm like, what happened to so and so?
Like what's there really to talk about with Gary Russel Jr ? Hardly ever a meaningful scrap. .

I recall someone offered before who could explain doing some free streaming....PM me or quote if you want. Thanks !

Has there ever in boxing been a promoter with pfp the 2 best fighters in the world under contact and neither one of them is a household name? Bob arum is scum. Loma and Crawford are killing their careers staying with this clown.

Is BT Sports carrying the Loma vs Lopez fight?
Just curious.

There's college football on tonight. I wonder if they will make us switch back and forth between ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPNEWS like they usually do?

the delay is not because of those things. it's disorganized promoters/show. entitled fighter who can come out when he wants and competitive advantage to making the other guy wait. it's bs.

I just saw that the NBA Finals Game 6 did 8M. That's crazy. That was on ABC and on a weeknight. Insanely low.
