Some new boxing programming tonight. They are airing the Uzcategui/Plant PBC Countdown show tonight for the first time on FS1, 8:30 PM EST. It will be similar to the Charlo/Harrison and Charlo/Monroe Countdown shows that they aired in December. Basically going to be a Showtime All Acess, HBO 24/7 behind the scenes/training camp show.
Also, for those that missed the Face to Face last week, that is also going to be airing at 8:00 PM EST, right before the Countdown show.
Both of these shows are going to be replayed all week.
How's the UFC on ESPN deal working out?
I noticed that they will have more shows on ESPN+ than the regular ESPN station.
They haven't even had their first card yet but have put some of their library up on ESPN+. Can't really say how the deal is working yet. UFC will definitely add a lot of subscribers though once they get rolling.
Ya, it was on FS1, they are just showing it again on FS2 (FS2 replays a lot of the FS1 shows). They will also air it again on FS1 and FS2 all over the week.
This is basically how you shove boxing down the general public's throat.
Ok.........

I think long term it will pay off...yet in the short term it's going to be strange, they're airing the PRELIMS for most cards on ESPN, with the main on ESPN +. They did make a big investment in it though. Problem is, has UFC/MMA peaked?
This is boxing's first crack at the mainstream in decades.
When have we ever seen 48x new fighter profiles aired on t.v a year, face to face shows and nightly studio shows......all replayed to death?
Exciting times.
Its on FS2......

Yeah man both sides must really love this deal. I guess after the UFC left to ESPN, Fox craves that content. We'll see some new stars out of this.
Yeah, speaking of the UFC, this is the exact same formula they used to build guys up and create stars.
In Boxing we only used to have this 1 or 2 times a year at the most and only for the mega stars..now its going to be for 2x fights a month, 4x fighters a month. Big.
Same, it's being replayed too many times. We might as well rename "FS1" to "PBC Boxing"...it's absolutely crazy how much boxing coverage there is now on FOX and FS1. I love it.
