Well the only time you see UFC is on Spike:TV every now & then when they have their show and when they replay old fights.
Pride is only shown on FSN, I think and most of what they have shown in the past is about a year old.
On the other hand, there is also soooo much boxing on regular TV at least here where I'm at. (Los Angeles, California USA)
Thursday 1/4/07- boxing on the 'VS' channel, they'll replay a classic fight and I'll record it.
Thursday boxing on ESPN:Classic, they'll replay a classic fight if I don't already have it I'll record it.
Friday 1/5/07- I will come home tune to 'ESPN:2' and watch The Peterson Bros. kick off the new year. Then I'll flip the channel to 'Telefutura and watch Jose Armando Santa-Cruz kick off the new year. Then I'll flip the channel to 'Showtime' and watch the conclusion of the Super Middleweight tournament between Mendy vs. Hanshaw.
Thats 3 channels with at least 10 fights not on PPV.
Also look at your boxing calendar, HBO or Showtime hasn't had a PPV since Nov. and they won't have one probably untill March:MAB vs. JMM.
