Damn it, this really does suck, the money that they are saving from cancelling WNF, is NOT going into FNF!!!


This appeared in Dan Rafeal's notebook today.

• After airing for eight seasons on ESPN2 -- the first six as "Tuesday Night Fights" and the past two as "Wednesday Night Fights" -- ESPN has pulled the plug on the midweek live boxing series that ran during the spring and summer. The reasons: weak ratings and a money crunch at the network that also saw it cut coverage of most of next year's spring training baseball games. The money saved by cancelling "WNF" will not be pumped into "Friday Night Fights," which returns for its 11th season Jan. 9, instead of the originally scheduled Jan. 2.
