I definately agree. I used to look forward to the profiles that even HBO did prior to their bouts. I still have the Mancini Bramble rematch and the profile done on Ray before the fight was one of the best I've ever seen. It really added to the enjoyment of the matches. I to miss the days of free bouts I grew up watching, Mancini, Czyz, Tyson. It also attracted casual fight fans to the sport. That's impossible now with all the PPV's. people don't get to know or have their imagination captured. I know as a youngster I thought Tyson would become the greatest fighter ever watching him early in his caareer on free tv capttured my imagination along with millions of others. Even if there was someone out there like that now only hardcore fans would know who he is the casual fan would have no idea someone like that existed. Sorry for the rambling.
