Television networks, are they as bad as alphabet title organisations?

    Usually, a top contender ranks #1 at for instance the WBC, but #8 with the WBA.

    But with the television networks it's even worse. More and more it seems like they COMPLETELY ignore any boxer that they're not promoting, because it's a useless investment to them. I hate it when they interview some fighter and say "there's no one really out there for you to take on" when they really mean that there's no boxer promoted by their channel in that weight division. Fortunately it does not always happen, but it pisses the **** out of me what i see something like that.

    Yea HBO especially is like that. Showtime at least will pick up a good fight even if they don't necessarly promote the fighters. HBO are shuch BS sometimes
