Gary can you tally up how many times area boxer appeared on T.V. Tkank You.
That's covering a lot of research and unfortunately, i don't have the time. I would need a lot of help on that. I did do a piece a couple of years ago on how many times Beltway Boxers have appeared on HBO up until HBO's 30th anniversary of boxing.
Our boxers made numerous appearances on USA on Tuesday and Thursday Night Fights.
