The great action fights that could have made casual fans, devout fans are endless.
When the 3 networks were moving away from boxing and there were no internet forums, those cable shows were all we had. Plenty of todays superstars came up on them, the then casual fans just had to follow. More so found a reason to follow. Casual fans were stung and hopefully stick around to learn what they are paying for after "the fight of the century" turned into dud a couple of weeks ago. Haymon is providing serious new exposure for in large part mostly established guys, but great exposure to casual fans none the less. I do think the catchweight bs is out of hand for the sport in general
