I"ve watched a lot of FNFs throughout the years, so many good fights. Also a lot of garbage baseball/track/tennis going over and making me wait.
Goat fights.
Letterlough(RIP) vs. JC Gonzalez(RIP)
Mickey Ward vs. Emmanuell Burton
Sheika vs. Pemberton - Sick fights
Mickey Ward vs. Reggie Green - Rocky Movie finish
Luna vs. Luna - I still watch this fight sometimes, best 4 round pro debut I've ever seen.
Those are some of the best

Still surprises me that HBO has never tried to do that sort of drama. It would be easy to just have it based around a gym so you could tell all kinds of different stories. Not even like you would need real writers just rip stuff straight from boxing that is stranger than fiction.

At least SHO should have picked it up, they used to have that resurrection blvd back in the day. I never watched it but I remember Johnny Tapia was on one time doing jump rope.
SHO was trying to promote Tapia like Naseem Hamed for a little while even making him a stage where he came out dancing.
But yeah lights out didn't get much of a push, maybe if the show was today the PBC and Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight would have given it a push in the ratings.

It might even help promote their boxing brand, doing like Arliss and have real fighters and characters pass through even if they aren't the main characters.
Maybe someday they will try something like that, I can dream
