I'm hoping Showtime will keep FC360 around without the tournaments they've run (or a Pacquiao fight), but that's a budget issue as much as anything, I suspect. I'd love to see a two-part version for the February 11 rematch between Victor Ortiz and Andre Berto, for instance -- that's a great story, and really, that fight is just as much a "make or break" scenario this time as it was last April.
Maybe even a half hour devoted to Paul Williams, particularly if Erislandy Lara is on the same card on January 21. Williams is actually a really interesting guy on the occasions he speaks for himself, and Lara's story is a good one, too.
I'm just hoping it doesn't go away without something "major" or unique to promote -- it's a good series that lets the fighters speak for themselves, and has shown guys at their best and worst.

Am I making too much of this or did anyone else think there was some kind of back handed racist connotation coming from Froch’s mum when she said that it will all come down to genetics? Something about the way she said it. I don’t know..
Everyone’s reaction was kind of hold-your-breath when she started in on it too as if, off camera perhaps, she’s taken that statement a bit further before.
Seriously, I think that’s a bit ridiculous. It was an innocent comment made to the father of her son. Parents comment all the time about what their genes have culminated in…
"Occasionally, there is a boxing match that, in its demonstration of skill, courage, intelligence, hope, seems to redeem the sport - almost. Perhaps boxing has always been a sport in crisis, a sport of crisis."
