I would be a fool to argue that point. You can't like what you can't see. Problem is, network tv dropped boxing becaues the ratings were declining. I remember watching many of Larry Holmes fights on commercial TV and even Mike TYson's. Here in the US most households have cabel and it seems the poorer the household the more premium channels they have. Many people chose satilite for about fiftey dollars a month. Cable is well saturated in this counrty and a boxing channel would do very well here. I imagine it would pull at least a million viewers. Cable success can lead to mainstream success. Case in point.
Cartoon networks Powerpuff girls rose to national fame from the cable channel. The result was a major motion picture. It can happen. Some of the highest rated shows are now running exclusively on cable. One of them that hit it big over here is the BBC channel's, The Office. Not to mention a resurgens of Money Pythons Fly Circus.
