The fledgling World Series of Boxing has landed a domestic television outlet, inking a deal for 30 tape-delayed shows on Versus.
The WSB announced the deal Friday, two weeks after the opening matches in its debut season. The 12-team, multicontinental boxing league aims to turn amateur Olympic-style boxing into a money-making team sport.
Starting Saturday night, Versus will air competition among the WSB's four North American franchises, based in Los Angeles, Miami, Memphis and Mexico City. Versus will broadcast all 24 regular-season matches among the four clubs, followed by four semifinals and two finals in the spring.
TDN, Televisa's all-sports network, airs the WSB's events in Mexico.
