The partnership between Top Rank promotions and ESPN has been an excellent one for the sport of boxing and for fight fans who have grown cautious about a pay-per-view model that too often has delivered more of a punch to the wallet than thrills to the eyes.
Case in point: last Saturday night’s ESPN broadcast of bouts featuring up-and-coming California natives Arnold Bardoza Jr. and Raymond Muratalla .
Throw in U.S. Olympic silver medalist and budding heavyweight contender Richard Torres Jr. stopping Roberto Zavala Jr. in 58 seconds, and fight fans were treated to a slate of high-quality bouts featuring talented young boxers without having to reach for a credit card or add to an already cumbersome cable/satellite/streaming service tab.
Not bad, especially for those of us who have a wide range of sporting interests and have been burned by the pay-per-view model in the past.On Aug. 20, San Diego’s Giovani Santillan will try to improve to 30-0 in an ESPN-televised welterweight bout against Julio Luna at Pechanga Arena. “You really can’t beat that exposure,” Santillan said. “There are a lot of people watching and even if they aren’t necessarily boxing fans, they may catch a fight and say: ‘Hey, this is great.’”
