Dan Rafael: No Ring Announcer, No Entourage in Ring for PBC!

Are there any ring card girls? I don't see any too..

Those walk-ins had more of a WWE vibe than pro boxing. I like the entourages and walk-ins, adds to the boxing show.

The ring walk is one of the most important factors in building a brand for a fighter

If NBC, etc. wants to sell boxing....keep it like boxing

That May - Pac commercial was epic!

that gonna be gay as hell. the pageantry and such is a huge part of boxing. I kinda agree... Pre fight should be a spectical... Once fight starts and afterwards it should strictly be ref, fighters and corners allowed in ring

Wow this sucks. Looks like a Contender episode. Entourage and announcers for the win. So much more raw

those ringwalks were awkward as heck

Yeah it is a bit too commercialized for my taste, it lacks that gritty feel that we are used to, but at the end of the day, it's all about the fights.

This is like the kind of presentation they have in Europe.

The lack of entourage and special music already made it lame. LOL Broner looked like a complete moron now without an entourage, that looked so awkward.

looks like wwe... Looks weird, but it's important that it has its own look I guess.

Cheesy entrance

looks like wwe...

Rafael just said Jacobs/Truax is off? That sucks, but looking at Traux & Jacobs they haven't said anything. Heard today the Danny Jacobs-Caleb Truax fight on the April 11 PBC card is off. #boxing— Dan Rafael (@danrafaelespn) March 8, 2015 ??? Our man @GoldenCalebT says he will still be fighting @DanielJacobsTKO FYI— Michael Woods (@Woodsy1069) March 8, 2015

Production is pretty damn top notch. And I like the Klitschko-Jennings ad. Interesting stuff so far.

The entourage thing is a great move. That shit is out of hand. Should have an announcer though. agreed.....

danrafaelespn Dan Rafael One interesting thing about the PBC fights: No ring announcer in ring. Just a voice over the PA. There will be no entourages in ring either. Damn, thats gonna be weird. Saves money, and we are here for the boxing first and foremost.:boxing:

Great News! Buffer and Lennon sometimes take FOREVER to do introductions! 2 Fighters In The Ring And The Ref...Ring The Bell Lets Go! Yeah it might be down to time constraints, more advertising time available with quicker entrances.

I want an announcer, but I'm happy I won't see those f.cking twins in the ring!
