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

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

    I didn’t pay any attention to it, tbh.

    I’d have watched if my Detroit Tigers played in any World Series, though.

    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...

    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 f a "stud"-his own word-Johnny Tapia and Roy Jones Jr were, he was telling me how much of a stud Mike Piazza 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>
