They need a ****ing network just for boxing already. They could show all fights from all over the world on it. Sponsors could get in on it. There is plenty of alcohol that people need to sell to idiots that drink it, so there you go.
The have a network for gameshows. Okay let me just go down my ****ing cable channels here and look at some of the ridiculous ****:
Court TV
NFL
NBA
Golf Channel
Garden channels
Food/cooking channels
Travel channels
Oxygen
Lifetime
Bravo
i
LOGO
BBC America
Military Channel
Hallmark
Country Music channels
MTV
MTV2
Fuse
Shopping networks
CSpan
CSPAN2
MSNBC
CNBC
Bloomberg
Nasa
NRB??
RFD?
other bull**** channels
Okay there is definitely room for a Boxing channel.
No, not some gay ass all inclusive Fighting channel where I have to sit through MMA and K-1 bull****. Just boxing. Let MMA get their own channel too.Comment

that wont happen, they know they'd have more money promoting fights rather than having one channel for it and those channels are there because people watch it tv people know their **** that's why they are there and we are hereOriginally posted by masterdirectorComment

taylor ain't fought **** except a burned out version of b-hop...and he lost one of those fights. He has no skins on the wall...not near as many as the marquez brothers.Originally posted by psychopathWow
Chill out man. Yes there are 10 names listed ahead of Taylor, but if you honestly believe that Juan Marquez and Wonjongkam is better than Taylor then find a justification.
Better In terms of opponents fought and beaten? Nahh.
Better in terms of being a crowd draw? Nahh.
Better in terms of accomplishment? Definitely a big No.
Then how the **** can Ring claims these 2 deserces to be in the top 10 than Taylor.
Oh! It's probably because ring is also Taylor hater.

I understand that completely, and i'm not blaming fans, just the fact that some people can assume they know who belongs where in the rankings without seeing a fighter. You can't make an argument that Wonjongkam doesn't belong in the rankings without seeing him fight first. It's obvious that Psycho's only backing argument is what he's staring at on a website (boxrec).Originally posted by LostGuy
Credit due to you, though, to search for some of his fights, or to do that for any fighter that HBO or Showtime might not deam "television-friendly".Comment

actually you're wrongOriginally posted by domzkidot
they'd stand to make a lot more money trying to get advertisers than PPV buys.
a 24 hour fight channel means there are tons of advertising blocks that must be filled. and that means people trying to market to the boxing fans. who would try marketing to boxing fans? currently, alcohol, casinos, las vegas, atlantic city, action movies, rap music, rock music, girls gone wild, 900 number *** lines probably, insurance companies, loan companies, credit card companies, cellphone companies, fast food, etc.
Pac vs. Morales did 350 k buys, which is very good. $17.5 million dollars from PPV revenue. Say another couple million for the live gate. So roughly $20 million for a really good PPV. How much did Pac and Morales get? I don't even remember. We'll say $5 million between the two. So $15 million left, but there's the site fee. There's paying HBO their cut. There's paying the Gov't some of it for taxes. It costed them money to advertise on TNT, during Friday Night Fights, etc. They'd be doing good to come away with $10 million.
Say they get paid $1 million a day by advertisers. They're looking at a guaranteed $30 million a month. And $1 million a day would be fairly low.
Then as the channel grows in popularity, demand for advertising on their channel would increase, so they'd make even more money. They'd be better off getting paid by advertisers than the fans.
Still you're right, it probably won't happen. Boxing is too fragmented for anything to actually ever work out correctly in it.Comment
