Boxing Goes back to Broadcast/terrestrial TV and prime time in US!

Main Events lands Versus/NBC deal | RingTV

The article is almost 2 weeks old but I just found it while going to Ring's website. I think this is exciting news, I've always said that boxing began to decline in popularity when it went to HBO and Showtime exclusively which severely limits its audience and future participants in the US. The most popular sports in the US aren't on premium cable channels they're on broadcast tv. Main Events has made a deal with NBC to start broadcasting fights on weekends on prime time starting Jan. 21. I hope Goldenboy and Top Rank follow suit.

This is good news, but are these going to be quality fight cards or crap ?

I believe the rematch of Zelenoff v Mayweather Sr is the first one up. Mayweather wanting revenge for the beatdown he got last time.
