Do you remember the World Series of Boxing?

There were teams like from Mexico, Baku, Paris, London, Los Angeles, etc.

it was a good concept but I wonder what happened to it.

 

TBH, most of the fights I saw sucked badly but it WAS boxing and was on free tv so i still watched it when it was on.

As far as the Tigers, I cannot believe they have not won after 1984 lol ..they were good back then and then in the 90s they had Cecil Fielder but...then they played in the World Series in 2006 and 2012 and lost both times.

I am obligated to know this because my brother was as big a baseball fan as I am a boxing one. He even had a tryout with the Seattle Mariners! He is the baseball encyclopedia in the family, and while i was telling him how much of a "stud"-his own word- Oscar De La Hoya, Felix Trinidad, Johnny Tapia and Roy Jones Jr were, he was telling me how much of a stud Mike Piazza, Lance Johnson, Randy Johnson and Gary Sheffield were too, lol!

Still, I wish the WSOB would have progressed, It was another wasted chance at finally making boxing a major sport in the USA.

 

Im not sure but it seems like it could be similar in concept at least..
