Just when one thought this thread couldn't any more ridiculous, a college football = boxing comparison pops up .... Gotta love the TBP.

 

Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.

Not just the kids that would rather stay home. Same thing is happening in every sport, every demographic.  When every game is on your high def TV, it's a whole lot easier (and cheaper) to stay home an

That specific article did.  But we've been inundate with articles about overall attendence declines across the sport for years.    I'm not sure why you have decided to beat on slick for that.

I call 100% ******** on boxing EVER having been on network TV and getting better ratings than most sports.

You must be a youngster. I will give you just two quotes, you should read the entire article.

http://www.boxingscene.com/pbc-on-nbc-reflecting-back-on-boxing-network-tv--88030

...Ali's power to pull pepole on national television never wavered as his 1977 fight with Earnie Shavers was aired live on NBC and drew a 37.3 rating and a 57 sheare, the highested rated program for that week....

...CBS was also delivering primetime boxing with their Pabst Blue Ribbon Bouts on Wednesday nights. This series ran from 1948-1955 and averaged a 24.1 share through the duration of the series....

For comparison, Ohio State vs Oregon this year drew a 16.1 share.

You were saying?

So it was on network before cable and PPV existed? No ****.

Ok, let's try again.

 

Boxing got much higher ratings than college football has EVER gotten.  EVER

 

How hard is this to comprehend?

 

Even the fight of the week with a bunch of no names got higher ratings than the biggest college football game ratings ever.

You can tell when sports are in their slow season......defined by this thread.

 

And if someone has plumbing problems I know a good plumber.
