One thing that I always notice is that boxers get cut off during their interviews after a win. After a great and entertaining fight, boxers deserve at least 3 or 4 minutes of airtime to say what they want. Commentators usually ask them questions about the fight and when the boxer strarts giving out shout outs or thanking a friend or family he quickly gets cut off by the interviewer who follows up with a question. After a good performance, do you think boxers deserve some airtime to say what they want to say?

Because usually the next fight has to be on at a certain time. Also most programs have a certain run time and they try not go over the run time. -
But, even if a fight is a main event and is scheduled for 12 but ends in an early KO, they do the same thing. Especially on HBO and Showtime.Comment

I hate when HBO and Showtime cut fighters off in interviews. They are the reason they are there and should have more airtime. I mean we have to listen to commentators spout off why not fighters.Comment

Sure, but giving "shout outs" is the equivalent of spamming, and there's no reason the producers would want to gtive extra airtime for that. They aren't going to just hand over a mic and say talk about whatever you want since you just won a fight.Comment
