I may be in the minority, maybe not, but I definitely don't want to see boxing back on network tv. I feel like they wouldn't do it justice. The production value is so much better on HBO and Showtime than it would be on NBC, CBS, etc. It just has that special feel to it when it's on premium cable. Going back to network tv would be a step backwards at this point. Your guys' thoughts?

only reason why I wouldn't want boxing on network TV is if they have crappy fights and that would probably hurt the sport more.
If they can't figure out a way to get the same amount of money as they would on HBO/Showtime for fighters then we would just end up with slightly better Friday Night Fight type of cards.

If a lot more people were famous for boxing, then more people would want to be boxers and there would be more competition to get to the top, therefore better fights.

I always say the same thing about this subject, the quality of boxing matches on network tv will be no better than Friday Night Fights or Telemundo. Maybe even worse.
People are clamoring for it, like if they're gonna get top 10 fighters fighting eachother. That's not what would happen.

The majority of fight fans don't. I always wonder why the fans are clamoring to look for the next ppv attraction. Fact is the sport have evolved into a superstar driven sport.
That is why I simply don't support the 2 biggest draws in the sport. I mean seriously (Pacman) especially has made an honest living these last couple of years feasting on shot fighters outside of Marquez & stuffing that $h!t on ppv. And his fans buy the crap all the time.
If the fans stopped purchasing trash & supported the guys like the Punisher & Bradley who'll fight anyone, then maybe we can get better quality fights.
