At one point in time or another during the day I can find boxing on one of those channels. Each one of the part of basic cable that I pay $29.99 a month for.

Add that to the several cards a month that either HBO or Showtime has available and that is quite a bit of boxing. The only place you can not find boxing that you can find Football, Baseball or NASCAR is NBC, CBS, ABC all those one can get with only an antenna so can not be considered a part of the basic cable line up. There is also the PPV events that are available everywhere but MMA also has PPV events on a regular basis.

I am sorry I have to disagree with you about boxing not being available, to me it sounds more like a problem with your cable provider and their line up. My brother lives in Atlanta and he also gets the same amount of boxing available just at different times. The only thing I can say bad about boxing on TV is it is not always live and at times the fights are a few days old but then again the other sports you mentioned are only around for a certain part of the year. If all the fights shown on the channels I mentioned were on live every time they would certainly out do all the other sports as far as TV time.

I also forgot the fact ESPN classic provides a boat load of great fights from the past that are almost impossible to get on disc without paying a handsome penny, by me every night at 8pm is classic fight time
I think his complaints about the availibility of boxing on TV here in Canada where we don't get HBO, Showtime, or ESPN.
