At least let me call the episode TKO so that it’s not too obvious.

Investors: You’re on!

Quantum Leap

Yeah. How many do you want?

Investors: Awesome!

Stargate SG-1

Oh for god’s sake. Just get it over with. Put it in the first episode.

X-Files

Season 1 No boxing match

Season 2 Shh

Season 3 Going good so far

Season 4 Beat everyone. Score!

Season 5 No. No we don’t need it. No one would watch it.

Season 6. WTF? What are you doing. Noooooooo!

I’m leaving – D

Investors: It got good ratings. Viewers love boxing matches.

Andromeda

Shh. Don’t tell anyone. We’ll just have a character that will box with anyone in almost every episode. It won’t look like boxing. We’ll be the only TV show that doesn’t have an official boxing episode. Score.

Investors: Just make sure the character punches almost everyone.

Battlestar Galactica

It’s all about violence, angst and robots

Investors: Can we slot a boxing match in there somewhere?

It doesn’t fit in the storyline

No really. It’s like far future, or far past, depending on…

Investors: Let’s just forget the arc in season three and just do one. It’ll be great.

Noooo.

Investors: Viewers love boxing matches.

The Orville

Let’s have a boxing match to piss off sci fi fans.

Investors: Are you for real? Awesome! Season three? Episode 5, 6?

Let’s make it episode 3 in season 1

Investors: OMG!

And we’ll make it a black guy boxing with a white girl, both dressed up as aliens. Never been done before.

Investors: We feel like crying.

Pretty pissed off at The Orville right now! LOL.

Loved the episode, though. The main theme has never been done before in TV SF. Keep up the great work!
