Look at these solid (and in the case of Abraham-Miranda and Kessler-Beyer, spectacular) fights that North American fans will not get to see live:
Saturday: Johnson/Woods III plus Amir Khan
Sept. 23: Abraham/Miranda
Oct. 14: Kessler/Beyer
Oct. 14: Calzaghe/Bika plus Johnny Nelson/Enzo Maccarinelli and Khan again (presumably)
Look at what we get on the same dates:
Saturday: Toney/Peter and Aiken/Guerrero
Sept. 23: Arce/Hawk (supposedly a showcase for Arce)
Oct. 14: Berto/TBA on BAD and a ridiculous Manfredo/Spina PPV
Side by side, only this week does North America have the edge, with Showtime having a very nice card. On the other two dates we (NA) get two potentially garbage BAD's and a Manfredo PPV.
Maybe I'm spoiled, because coming up we do have the great Golden Boy PPV (Sept.16), Corrales-Casamayor III (Oct. 7), Valuev/Barrett & Adamek/Briggs II (Oct. 7), Baldomir-PBF (Nov.4), Showtime on Nov.4, which could be JMM/Harrison or Liahovich/Briggs, Klitschko/Brock (Nov.11), and December, which brings us the Cotto and Margarito card, a possibly Winky PPV, Taylor and Hatton, etc.
NEVERTHELESS, we should be able to get some coverage of these good cards in North America. I know Warriors Boxing wanted to get Abraham-Miranda on some sort of webcast, but I've heard nothing lately, even with the delay. Disappointing.
If we can get the Sons of Legends PPV trash, with JCC Jr. vs. Jermaine White (?!?!?!?!!), how can we NOT get these fights?
