Klitschko Vs. Gomez on ESPN2 LIVE March 21st!!

Everyone has been busy talking about how HBO and Showtime are stepping up this year and airing great fights without all the ppv bull**** and thats all true and great for the sport. But what I think is equally important for the growth of the sport is What ESPN is doing not only have they decided to cut back on their programming and scrapped Wednesday night fights which I feel was the right thing to do cause all they were doing was putting on 2 lousy shows everyweek which I'm sure didn't help their T.V. ratings one bit. But they've also made a concerted effort to put much better fight cards on their air including next saturday's WBC Heavyweight Championship fight between Vitali Klitschko and Juan Carlos Gomez and then the very next week they're gonna be airing another very important Heavyweight fight between Former WBC Champ Sam Peters and Eddie chambers. I feel what ESPN is doing is every bit as important if not more so than HBO or Showtime in helping to promote the sport and to help build up fighters name recogniztion amongst the American public. Cause not everyone who has cable is able to afford HBO or Showtime and the only time they are able to watch a fight is on ESPN or maybe Versus , which by the way is starting to show some better fights to.

 

Thanks for the Correction...that's even better..I don't know the rating comparisons would be but I would Imagine that more people watch Regular ESPN than they do ESPN2.
