Rogan vs Dibella (espn)

Yeah, he started up as a comedian and still does his club gigs here and there while hosting Fear Factor and doing UFC ppv commentary. A very busy man is Joe Rogan.

 

Showtime and HBO are what I'm talking about when I say Premium Channels. I'm not arguing that at all. I see more MMA on TV than boxing in my area. ESPN, doesn't even show boxing, only ESPN 2, Fox Sports is basically done with boxing. Then there is Versus, how often do they have boxing shows? I just don't see a whole lot of boxing on TV here other than Friday night fights, Wednesday night fights, and weekend Sho and HBO cards. I see Pride, Bodog, IFL, UFC on a lot more lately.

 

Exactly.

Instead of bringing up things like this, Lou just showed an elitist attitude with the whole argument. Regan wasn't necessarily on point all the time either, but he made his arguments better than Lou did.

 

Telefutura shows boxing every Friday. Their only issue is that it's not available in every area (like mine, for example :flip: ).

TyC - an Argentinean based channel, also shows fights every weekend, though most are garbage club shows. But they will air almost every world title fight featuring one of their own that isn't otherwise available on a major US network.

MSG also shows a lot of replays and tape-delayed broadcasts, particularly Lou DiBella's Broadway Boxing series.

There is plenty of boxing on TV. The problem is knowing where to find it, which explains why it will most likely never again have more than a cult following.

 

Espn was doing the contender uk vs usa thing recently which is why i included it. Versus used to be twice a month, but I'm not even sure they are doing it monthly lately? Don't know if their deal with arum still stands?

As far as what is televised...I know boxing is on a lot more, but that doesn't mean you run into it...especially since so much is on the hispanic channels I named.

The only program I don't get is Bodog on ion. How good are those shows? Is it about the same as the Sunshine mma or the REALFIGHTS stuff they have been showing lately or is it better?

 

the next versus show is mid-June, I believe. Has-Been Rahman is headlining. Their series has been garbage, a huge disappointment, and this next show seems to fall right in line.

 

Problem is, who in the hell would nominate Lou to be the voice of boxing? This guy couldn't spot a good boxing matchup if his life depended on it..

 

Rogan is better off picking fights with Carlos Mencia :notallthere:


funny I used to like that show "news radio" even though he was in it. opcorn:
