A request from NBC to increase the time in between Rounds - 67 Seconds???

Amir Khan has endorsed this proposal and would have liked Saturdays fight to have had 24hrs between rounds for commercials.

That was just plain cold-blooded, bro.

That's just goofy. If anything when boxing was actually prominent on NBC ABC etc it always seemed to be the commercial cutting in before rounds were over or hearing a round begin while a ad for Sunny Delight was still on. They always got there full ad on large part. Then again if they had more time I would have actually seen Carbajal ko Kittakasem LIVE, and not on replay after commercial

wonder how the ratings are doing for the cards ?

It was lol but a good point. Just think about what an extra 7 seconds in that corner might have done for Khan on Saturday?

It might mean more money for boxing (doubt it ends up in the right hands anyway) but the sport is 60 seconds in between rounds..It should stay that way. It's something that could potentially make a difference to the outcome of fights

They should do it. Seven seconds is nothing to get boxing back on networkk TV in America again. I don't even know why they're making any kind of fuss over it.

Leave it alone. What next 10 round title fights because 12 might interfere with some stupid tv show?

I think the majority agrees with us, judging from the posts so far. TV wanting to change boxing's rules to suit itself is a bit like the tail wagging the dog. I say let TV adapt to boxing's rules. Better to change the length of commercials than mess with the time between rounds.
