    Maybe because Gomez isn't popular enough and hasn't done anything major, but still this deserves to be promoted in my opinion.

    Specifically who is giving ESPN a bad rep and how? Not me. Scroll up and read post #21

    Thank you.

    Hum I guess I'll record 2 hours this Saturday to make sure I get it. That's annoying to say the least.

    Forget about trying to explain anything to Widdow Faker, Scar. This guy doesn't have a clue how capitalism works. Widdow Faker is only concerned about sucking Klitschko's dick.

    I am sure that they could find a way to market a former Cruiserweight WBC World Champion colliding against his former stablemate and current WBC Heavyweight Champion. Vitali ranked #2 and Gomez ranked #9 by ring magazine. If they can't promote that then they are a hopeless network in desperate need of new personnel.

    I dont know about some of the other posters that commented, but I'm happy as hell it's on ESPN and not HBO or Showtime, both of which I dont have at the moment. ESPN gets my thumbs up and have already wrote and told them how good of job their doing in showing Vitali/Gomez and Peter/Chambers in the month of March.

    As far as Widdow's grape, I actually agree with him on this one. The promoting of this fight is terrible, I watch ESPN all time and not once seen a comercial for it or the Peter/Chambers fight. I understand Heavyweight boxing isn't exactly that popular in the states like it once was, but now you have a chance to get the average sports fans attention and their blowing it. It's like buying a sports car and just keeping it in the garage, it just dont make no sense to me.

    I can't believe that these moronic so called boxing fans are arguing AGAINST marketing for our sport.:-( And then people wonder why they say boxing is dying. It's the jack asses like them masquerading around as fans while bashing the sport and it's competitors that is dragging boxing down.

    Peter vs Chambers as well. Two great heavyweight fights and they are dropping the ball.

    Your reading comprehension problems once again force you to fall flat on your face. Obviously I am giving them MAJOR CREDIT for their programming. I am being critical of their marketing/advertising of their programming. Let me know when you catch up.:good
