being in canada is your problem, do u get any sports regularly on only one channel??

in america boxing is on everyday, it according to what cable plan you got though, but boxing is widely available..

the contender series, 24/7, countdown, espn classics, their is more realty type shows about boxing than almost anyother sport...

actually soccer isnt hardly ever on t.v. in america especially on regular ABC,NBC, FOX, CBS but that doesnt mean its dead...

maybe canadian tv boxing is dead, but actually dont canida have moliter, bute, pascal, selling out stadiums in canada??

boxing is doing better and has a brighter future now than it has in over a decade or two...
We actually have 3 sports channels, the problem is that none of them are very good. Only TSN (somewhat) regularily shows boxing, and the other two pretty much only show MMA.
In regards to the fighters up here, Molitor is the only one TSN (our ESPN equivilent) has shown any interest in promoting. I think the problem lies in the fact that Quebec (where the other fighters are based) is more like a seperate country than it is part of Canada and the sports networks treat is that was. They have their own sports network in Quebec, but I'm not sure even if Bute or Pascal get much air time, though they did show Bute's title fight live in Quebec (but not anywhere else in Canada).
