    I have not seen ESPN give so many segments to a boxing match since De La Hoya-Mayweather, Canelo must have a huge following.

    They've been there since Tuesday. To put that in perspective, they've only been at the Alabama/A&M game since yesterday.

    What was crazy was the number of channels showing the weigh in. CBS, CBS Sports, ESPN, Showtime, plus all the web sits like yahoo.

    It's almost a surreal feeling. Seeing Mayweather, as much crap as he gets, being a huge star, and me still having fights with Manfredy and Gerena on VHS back home.

    It's great to see it unfold.

    Really? That's good. I was under the impression that ESPN promotion was lacking in comparison to the Guerrero fight.
