Comments Thread For: Showtime Announces 9 PBC Shows From March 26-July 9; Includes 7 Title Fights

Great lineup. All on SHO other than the ppv’s. Haymon finally using his roster to give us the kind of cards we want without having to pay the ppv price.

Well, other than Spence v Crawford.

First half of 2022 looks great for the sport across all platforms.

And any boxing fan that cannot acknowledge that PBC puts on many solid fights is clearly biased. I stopped counting how many great fights I've seen from fighters putting it all on the line.

True. What I’m most hopeful for is this announcement makes everyone step their game up.

PBC looks to FINALLY be using their roster as posters expected from the beginning.

It feels like their “cleaning in house” such that the winner can make the fights we want across all platforms.

Dazn doing ppv now will help this as well.

After covid the sport needs a boost. I just hope we don’t go backwards.

these are really good fights

[jockpunk]

Not great, not terrible. Solid.

Solid fights for the most part! I love when PBC "rolls out" their schedule....so dope!

I see Jermall's holding his annual Juneteenth exhibition for the *** (Burn, Loot, and Murder) crowd in his hometown. Do it for yo peoples, they say! Lol

Spence vs. Ugas card fire! Charlo vs. Castano card fire! Fulton vs. Roman, Thank You Al Haymon! No one is doing it better than PBC!

[Bronx2245]

apart from the Charla/Castano everything else is garbage.

Protecting Black Champs/umps at it again.

Fulton vs. Roman not good enough for you?

The only going backwards I would love is if we could go back in time to CBS, ABC, and NBC. I was knee high to a grasshopper when I was blown away by Sugar Ray Leonard and his incredible flyweight speed and even down the scale to perennial underdog Buster Drayton when he was on a roll scorching guys and seeing other underdogs rise up like Freddie Pendleton. And back up the scale with Salvador Sanchez and Alexis Arguello. Damn Wide World of Sports for not keeping that momentum back then.

Tier A (Must see): Spence-Ugas, Charlo-Castaņo
Tier B (Want to see): Lubin-Fundora, Tzyu-Gausha, Benavidez-Lemieux, Charlo-Sulecki, Magasyo-Vargas
Tier C (Will schedule but not commit to see): Davis-Romero, Morrell and Ennis fights

Was expecting the return of Caleb Plant to see how he comes back, also dissapointed that Golden Boy screwed things for Munguia to fight Charlo, that was gonna be my third Must see fight.

Boxing will be fun for the next months, also hyped to see Canelo & GGG next fights and super excited for that Beterbiev-Smith unification.

Good breakdown bit I'd add Fulton-Roman to Tier A. That's a top notch fight right there

Nothing like epic title fights on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. Even the NBC fights from Rahway with. James Scott were good.

Thomas hearns ko’d pipino Cuevas at like 200 on a Sunday if I recall.
