I agree that consistency means a lot. Friday Night fights was far from the best but it was on very regularly and brought the same guys on over and over. You could see them progress or regress but you could remember their names. Admittedly, I'm getting older but when lower level guys only fight once or twice a year I can't even remember their name. Regularity so we can have this ritual: it's Friday, I'm watching the fights. Put on competitive fights with decent commentators and I think you've got a win. Shobox kind of does this but they are few and far between.

Main Events promotions is dead unless they can get Kovalev back on track.

Yeah, consistency is very important.

That’s where PBC dropped the ball. Too many random matchups at random times on random networks.

Exactly.
