    Page 20. Very basic. :verysad


    Canseco-Bonaduce gets twice as much ink. :patsch

    Just because it's marginal doesn't mean they have to do everything in their power to marginalize it even further. Surely they could spare Shane a page of his own (1/2 copy and 1/2 pic)??

    Sports Illustrated will be out of business in a couple of months, doesn't matter what they print.

    Agreed. On Sunday or Monday they showed action highlights of the fight and even the fight getting stopped on the ropes. All week they have been following the controversy and Dan Rafael did an interview on sportscenter. Pretty awesome because even after a UFC PPV they aren't getting post fight reactions from fighters on ESPN News.

    everytime i pickup an issue of SI i really don't expect to see many boxing articles. not since tyson was fighting it's gotten pretty rarer. i'm thinking it might also have to do with the lack of american fighters or american superiority in boxing, but who knows?

    They have something every month, but it's usually a tiny little paragraph tucked away in some armpit of the mag. Sandwiched between things like women's hurling and college darts. :!:

    It'd be better if they didn't have anything, these little desultory asides are kind of a slap in the face to boxing. Or more a kick in the ribs while down.

    yep. it's been a while since they gave boxing some decent coverage. at least the fight and it's implications are taking up airtime on ESPN.
