    Thanks, kirk!:good

    Your system is good, except that not all big fights are on hbo, showtime and espn...some good European fights won't be...

    Also...too many fights to analyse, in general, I think...

    Also, not all the fights on hbo, showtime and espn will be big fights, you know what I'm saying? They might be fights that are big to the casual fan in America, but not to the true boxing fan.

    So...by your system how do you decide which fights to run? Do you run them all? By this system, no one person chooses...we all choose which fights to run...more democratic.

    What do you think?

    i like that you guys all choose what fights you choose from.. that is cool.

    For us... if the fight is a major fight and not on the major televisions or ppv's, then we will still add it depending on its importance.

    one thing we did in 06 towards the end of the year, which im not gonna bring back for awhile... is the p4p list. Its for superfights only... im talking superfights though, like mayweather hatton, pavlik taylor (ok so its not a SUPER fight but you get it) jc vs hopkins... i added it for the people who have no shot at the championship (like me) or people that want recognition for the harder picks (like me) lol... havnt added it this year cuz its one step at a time... but i really liked it last season.


    :thumbsup

    Good enough, it just sucks Valuev/Liakhovich wont be televised in the states from what I seen, but I guess we could still do analysis before the fight or something.
