    I ordered my subscription in early June, $50.00. Everyday I run to my mailbox all excited only to no avail. The website said allow 6-8 weeks for delivery and now it's September and I'm pretty sure I'm way past that amount of time. A few days ago I got Rings Boxing Almanac, a little black and white deal that showed some neat facts but no mag.
    I was wondering if any of you guys had to wait an extra long time to get yours?? And I'm about to die waiting just to see how it's laid out and what's in it?? Feels like waiting for a hot chick to call you, when you know deep down somewhere inside it's not going to happen. Any comments please??:hat

    I just get mine from the newsagent, 6-8 weeks for delivery seems strange, usually with subscriptions you get the magazine the morning it hits stores or even the day before. Have you called them?

    I live in West Virginia and have searched high and low before I decided to just subscribe from the website. I am dyeing to get my first issue. I can't find anywhere to buy it locally: news stands, book stores, no where.

    I think Boxing Digest is much better than The Ring. The Ring doesn't pay much attention to fighters outside the American continent.

    When will THE RING get an internet, version ?? ( With payment )
    Dont see any reason, why I need the paper magazine.

    I dont mind paying for it., Maxboxing/Boxingtalk are good examples on how they could make an online version of "THE RING"....
    ( and still make it a good business, -even better than today ! )
