I don't know that there's anything "classic" about Jeff Lacy's record past that beating he took from Joe Calzaghe, but it's nice that there's boxing on TV, and you've got to hand it to Jones and Lacy both: They've done the best job you could expect promoting their card.

“They’ve done the best job you could expect promoting their card.”
Yeah except PUTTING IT ON PPV. This fight is not worth whatever they are trying to charge for it.
No one was going to put this fight on TV. It’s too expensive for ESPN or Vs. and HBO and Showtime have no reason to showcase a washed-up great and a washed-up never-quite-was.

Comcast added ESPN U to digital classic
Brought back the NFL Network to digital classic, put NBA TV on the same thing….so bye-bye ESPN Classic on digital classic and hello subscription sports package.
Sucks because when they weren’t showing Poker or Wrestling (or American Gladiators or Bowling) they had relatively recent classic fights instead of ESPN and ESPN 2 airing Holyfield vs. (Opponent) 1000 times per week.
