Boxing was more than likely on CBS. Their Wednesday-
night telecasts were called "Blue Ribbon Bouts" (sponsored
by Pabst Blue Ribbon), and even more memorable than most
of the fights were Bill Nimmo's commercials as Bill the Bartender.
In 1955, ABC picked up the fights (still sponsored by Pabst) and
renamed the show the "Wednesday Night Fights."
