Showtime Doesn't Want Miranda-Bika?

Miranda-Bika is Showtime worthy.

Let's petition Showtime. Their just trying to be cost-effective, and aren't thinking about the people. We want boxing!

 

This fight should be on tv, free tv not a premium station.

 

i agreed a figth between bika and pantera should be made it could be explosive and also bute might be figthing andrade ,how about a figth whit pascal they where talking so much crap about each other it was genereiting interst

 

I would be interested in a Bika Miranda fight. In the SMW division they are at the same level in terms of rankings and the winner should get a title shot at Bute in my opinion. WBC is out of the question given that Froch and Inakin are fighting an eliminator and that winner may go on to fight Kessler.

 

Indeed. It should be on ABC's Wide World of Sports. But network/cable companies have long since forgotten how profitable boxing is.

 

I don't understand how they can show MMA on CBS, but ABC, NBC, FOX can't show nicely produced boxing match. It makes no sense. Hell they could sponsor a boxing tourney for big bucks and it would still be less than 4 episodes of any sitcom.

 

We may be given a much better fight!

 

I am not sure what OP means with a fight with more fireworks - since I can think of 10s of fights with more firework. But hell - they could call it.

Battle of the Titans: The runner-ups at title fights.

How about Manfredo-Bika or better yet, Sergio Mora - Bika, if that is possible?

That could be named Battle of the Titans: The contenders, who are no longer contenders.

 

Bika v. Miranda at 168 is the best possible fight involving these two fighters and one of the best in boxing...yeah!

Great fight! GREAT FIGHT!!!:happy :happy :happy :happy :happy

 

:good Precisely. World Championship Boxing used to be something the family could sit down and watch together, and sports pages, everyone would wind up knowing who the champ is.

Two problems here:
1. News ain't covering boxing.
2. Even the boxing community is unsure just who the champs are, because of the alphabet belt junk.

 

This fight is not showtime worthy, Miranda might be, but Bika is certainly not. This fights a FNF main event IMO, not much more that.

 

1. Nonito Donaire-Cristian Mijares.
2. Kessler-Mundine
3. Klitschko-Klitschko
4. Cambell-Diaz II
5. Pavlik-Abraham

Just to name a few....

 

I disagree though. MMA has countless number of organizations, Pride, UFC, EliteXFC, BoDog, etc.. all of them have their own champs, but it is still popular and the fans who follow the sport all know who the most dominant fighter in a division is. The same with boxing. When you think about it the news doesn't cover MMA either, but it is still popular, because the leagues cater to their fans.

Boxing needs to sell itself to the networks, they are used to HBO and Showtime bidding on fights, why don't promotors go to NBC, ABC, FOX, CBS to broadcast their fights.

It makes no sense that you saw no boxing promotors taking advantage of the writer's strike to put new boxing on tv on the cheap.

 

Bika fought a hell of a fight on the Contender finale, with Codrington. He went the distance against Calzaghe, and is a pretty entertaining C-level fighter. I'd like to see this fight on television.
