    We are lucky that we had PBF/Hatton in December. Mid-December/January/early February is notoriously slow. Other than Cunningham/Huck, we're on ice until Roy/Tito on Jan 19. February has one or two major fights, but March always picks up the boxing year. We've been lucky in 2007 because the summer was great. Usually it's another dead time.

    Yeah, its dead. PBF/RH was overkill, we OD'd on it and now we're coming down off it. Fuck!!

    There is often a big ppv in mid December.

    The only really slow time that I've noticed are the last 2 weeks of December. I don't think you are right about January/February and in the summer we've had ESPN2 running 2 shows a week.

    Well if you count Malignaggi/Ngjoudo as a major fight. Then you are right. There are always fights going on, just not major ones.

    So what are you going with? January? Early January?

    Floyd Diego was January, Casa Freitas was early Jan, Toney Peter early jan...This year has Jones Tito.

    And no, I don't count the malig fight.

    I'm saying typically. Jones/Tito is mid Jan. Look back at boxing schedules from the past 10 years and tell me I'm wrong. The boxing season really picks up from March to May. Then a lull over the summer, then fall September to late November, maybe early December.

    I already told you I think you are wrong. Now I'm giving you a chance to clarify what you meant, and you haven't. The last half of December is typically slow, that I will concede. After that, it depends on what you mean.

    What do you want clarified? I think it's self explanatory and the fights you mentioned were years apart.
