pretty much

it’s about damn time they do this. it’s the best way to build a fan base for a large number of fighters.

basically, yeah.

They did this back with Pacquiao vs. Mosley and now will do it all the time.

it’s something that boxing promoters have said they need to do for a while (due to the UFC setting the tone with Spike more than the facebook stuff) and it provides them with at least some way to get their fights out there.

Although, Top Rank does release pretty much every undercard fight on YouTube

I only mentioned it b/c while, here in Mexico, I can watch the Facebook prelims streams, I’ve run with all kinds of issues with youtube that have to do with all kinds of ISP regional locks and the like that I’ve come to expect them to be there for pretty much everything; that the Facebook prelims were not was actually a welcome surprise.

I’ve only been able to get Top Rank working while at work as our servers and the IP are in St Louis. When I’m at home it tells me its unavailable.

I never understood this about boxing

there is actually far more great boxers than great mma fighters but since only the big names get the attention and air time you rarely hear about them.

This is great news for both mma and boxing fans. Imo there can never be enough great combat sports.
