Yes @ Roman Gonzalez. On a similar note, what do you think of the bottom divisions (108-120ish)? Do you think it's gaining appeal? Or do you think it'll still be a little while before they get some substantial air time?
That is a great question and one that has been around a long time. It does not make any sense based on the product on the field but nevertheless the lack of coverage and reward continues. If not for the copious amount of streams around these days it would be hard save a few players to see the little guys on any kind of regular basis.

You know prior to fighting Donaire, Montiel never had a pay day of six figures. Before the Morel fight collapsed he was going to make 80 thousand and Morel 20. I think geography is at play here and the fact that Showtime and HBO never travel or want to. Same goes for European broadcasters etc. Everybody seems geocentric. I also think the species is hot wired to think that bigger is better from grade school to adulthood. The big guy in grade 5 who still cant spell his own name is more popular then the shrimp who gets straight A's. Splitting the divisions was almost the final nail with the effects felt much more by the little guys then the higher weights. I think the opportunity will be there to follow the little guys more carefully just do to technology in the future.
