The Best Fights

[Master]

Again this is all memory lane boxing for me.

Channel 4, a terrestrial channel showed these fighters from the far East.

I would never have become a fan of them and boxing if they had not shown these boxers on mainstream.

This is why boxing is now a minority sport.

i'm not sure i totally agree. i don't watch any mainstream tv & haven't for years. fights & weightclasses that would have been hard to access only a few years ago, can be easily accessed now. most main cars are available within a few hours of happeing live. i think promoters need to build local shows & followings, also amateur boxing needs to promte stars, so when they switch over people already know a bit about them. the world series of boxing was trying to do this. there are many things that boxing can do to build popularity, the first thing is to make fights people want to see & when the fights are relevant

Mainstream TV allowed casual fans in their millions to watch Benn v Eubank and generations followed boxing.

i agree with you but times have changed. now most things are viewed on devices & more often than not, just highlights. attention spans aren't what they used to be & there is so much choice out there seeking to entice our time

Agreed but boxing events with family and friends around these social events creates interest from future fans and love of the game.

Millions loved Henry Cooper, Frank Bruno, McGuigan because of boxing on mainstream TV.

A hugely underappreciated trilogy. Great wars. The Forum was such an awesome and historical venue on the West coast.

kevin kelley v troy dorsey. i couldn't find this on youtube, they have both of troy's fights with jorge paez though that are also worth watching
