March 7th marks the return of boxing to the airwaves of network giant NBC. The main event is a welterweight battle between former four division champion Robert Guerrero and unbeaten WBA regular welterweight champion Keith Thurman. Former three division champ Adrien Broner faces hard hitting John Molina in the co-feature bout.
The card will be the debut of Haymon Boxing's Premier Boxing Champions series. The series will take place on NBC, CBS, Showtime, SpikeTV and Haymon is reportedly in talks with other networks as well.
In a recent conversation with BoxingScene.com, Guerrero said that the PBC series will be an excellent opportunity for him and that he also is looking forward to facing Thurman who has complained in recent years about not being able to get a big fight.
"I was excited when I heard NBC network TV. Especially after being off it for 30 years. The opportunity you can't put it in words. When I heard about it I got excited. Also about fighting Thurman. He had been talking about everyone ducking him and this and that. Right now I feel like I couldn't be in a better position," Guerrero stated.
