Boxing returning to ESPN full time?

[handsofstone]

Obviously since PBC started,ESPN's Friday Night Fight series stopped and boxing shows on the channel were quite rare as PBC sprread out over different networks,i stay in the UK so im not realy sure what the channels were exactly but from my understanding it was ESPN,Spike,CBS,Fox etc all basically sharing the PBC shows Am i right??

Anyway ive noticed lately that there's been loads on ESPN again,more or less every week for the past month and there's more

Shafikov/Herring
Barrios/Boschiero
Lipinets/Castillo
Derevyanchenko/Soliman

And this week we have Benavidez/Douglin and there's another show the following week,so is that ESPN back showing shows on a weekly basis??

Ive just had a look through the boxing schedule over the coming months and typically after next weeks show,there arent any others scheduled for ESPN

Effing pointless thread

Once football starts espn is pretty much done with boxing for the year.
Always been that way on espn, the FNF series usually only had one or two shows after the start of football season.

It's been fun whilst it lasted though.

I've heard the reverse. PBC is ending it's ESPN affiliation and ESPN will not be bringing back Friday nights. Big blow for boxing.

ESPN's been calling their recent string of fights their "Summer Boxing Series" on occasion, so it's not something that's going to last.
