its on boxingscene, says sources from Disney, who own ESPN, are going to drop Wednesday Night Fights next year and focus only on Friday Night Fights.
Says the one good thing is they might have more of a budget for Friday Night Fights. Hopefully but it could be BS, will believe it when I see it, might just save the money or spend it on something else. Who knows?
You would hope that they would get at least a signifigant increase for FNF, if not just the entire funding which would probably be a good move. How often do you really see two fights worth a damn on ESPN in the same week?
True, if they do markedly increase the quality of FNF then I could deal with it.
Wednesday Night Fights was fun sometimes but lets don't forget there was a bunch of nights where it was like, are they really televising this? Nationally?
Im not surprised at all, i hope they still show FNF though
There's no talk of FNF being cancelled.
That sucks. What are they going to do, add more bowling and girl's softball? The best sport on the planet and f#cking ESPN would rather show cars running around a track in cirlces. I'm starting my own t.v. sports network:rolleyes:
Don't even get me started on ESPN and it's half arse dedication to the sport over the last few years.Once they acquired NFL rights,I feared this.Its a catch twenty two.Love the Classic shows and loved last season but they seem to backseat Boxing ALOT for the most inane shite.....Pro Bowling and Badminton ???That was the kind of filler shows they used to air when they first debuted......Not ALL of these years later!!
That's horrible news for me, even if the fights weren't good, it gave me something to tide me over until the weekend. Plus every once in a while there would be an exciting prospect showcased that I'd never seen, or a fighter starting on the come back trail. Not to mention the WNF crew.
Ah well, it is what it is, if FNF is better then that will at least be a little consolation.
If this is true, I'll be bummed. :eek:
If the fights sucked, at least our crew had fun making fun the fighters, and picking on Legion with every Cialis and Flomax commercial. ;D
Legion :LOLATYOU: WNF Crew
I loved spending my Wednesday nights with my guys!!! :lickish:

On Fridays you've got.
Telefutura
Showtime
Telemundo
(Though Show and Telemundo were not every Friday)
ESPN would fill out the week much better on a Wednesday IMO.
But honestly if they speaking the truth then I gotta say I'm all for it.
More money means bigger fights...
Let's just hope it all goes well.
Not to mention Smogers different color dye every other week... ;DQuote:

:furious2: I'll have you know we've developed a 12 month plan: To remove small pieces of it at a time so it's not as shocking as just taking it all off at once:bawling:
Let me guess, she made you start from the back? ;)Quote:

I bet as soon as you reach the front, she'll give you a new bag to use, and ask for an extension on the plan. :tease-new:
:-*
Righty-O Di'; good guesswork:)
She told me for Halloween I can wear a jack-o-lantern:woot22:
How many times do I have to tell you? :dontknow:Quote:

Kathy has a tough choice, the more natural look above, or the :bag: look.
Hmmm, I'd probably go with the bag, because I wouldn't be able to see any facial features that way. ;) ;D

:lolhaha:
I'm losing this war slowly but surely:p :bucktooth: I only wish I was as handsome as that pumpkin:bawling:
Don't forget the all important little league playoffs.Quote:

I didn't think about it but that's true, actually Friday Nights not a great night for TV anyway.Quote:

I think we all know theres a silver lining in everything though and even if FNF doesn't get a bigger budget we at least will only have to see Teddy Atlas on TV once a week.

Or maybe they could hire somebody to sit next to him and punch him in the ear when he starts repeating himself.
-Sending application to ESPN, will include like 20 dollars with resume to make sure this all works out-
I always wanted to try that viagra or cialis just to see what type of effect it would have. That 4 hour warning has me intrigued.
They give that warning on purpose I bet!LOL
Well it looks like it's true. I meant to post this yesterday.
This was in Dan Rafael's chat yesterday.
Ricardo (LA): Any truth to the rumor of Wednesday Night Fights being canceled on ESPN?
Dan Rafael: It is not a rumor. The show has been canceled.

I'll say it again, best sport on the planet and so little exposure. ESPN could make boxing bigger and better and should really have it year round; but I guess that lazy boy poker, athlete's foot spreading bowling and moronic fuel wasting nascar are better to showcase:rolleyes:
Hey, I know, let's show more GOLF:woot22: :rolleyes:
ESPN: :plzdie: Dan Rafael go choke on a meatball hoagie and :plzdie:
If you really want to write one, I can give you Dan's private email address, and you can ask him to pass it on to the powers that be. ;) ;DQuote:

Damn it, this really does suck, the money that they are saving from cancelling WNF, is NOT going into FNF!!! :furious2:
This appeared in Dan Rafeal's notebook today.
• After airing for eight seasons on ESPN2 -- the first six as "Tuesday Night Fights" and the past two as "Wednesday Night Fights" -- ESPN has pulled the plug on the midweek live boxing series that ran during the spring and summer. The reasons: weak ratings and a money crunch at the network that also saw it cut coverage of most of next year's spring training baseball games. The money saved by cancelling "WNF" will not be pumped into "Friday Night Fights," which returns for its 11th season Jan. 9, instead of the originally scheduled Jan. 2.
thumbs down
You cover the WNBA and the other day they had pool on, and it wasn't even real pool, it was speed pool with these douchebags running around the table real quick so they could hit their next shot as fast as they could all in an attempt to win like hundreds of dollars.
Boo.
violently quick mood swing-less Teddy
Still sucks but oh well
In all seriousness though, that sucks that they're not putting more money in to FNF. Pure suckage.
