      Fixed it for you.

        Look a douche bag trying to pass himself (herself?) off as a boxing fan hoping that one of the few boxing outlets fails. You’re an idiot HeadShyts.

          I for one don't follow particular fighters. They fight once a year anyways, what's the point?
          Yes, yes, I agree with this. It needs to happen if one cares enough to see boxing flourish. Fighters who insist on demanding unreasonable paychecks let them rot. Fans should be getting more value for their money. Make 3-4 main cards in one event and promote them equally. This sport needs to build many stars, not just 1 or 2. It can't go on putting all that chunk of the budget on just 1 or 2 fighters.

            A cancer on boxing. Hopefully it just fades away quickly
            On the contrary, I think many will pay for it.

            As long as PBC delivers great fights like they did this year, I think they will do well.

              PBC has destroyed every relationship with every broadcaster that they ever had (ESPN, Bounce, Spike TV, CBS, NBC, Fox, Showtime​). I dont see why Amazon would want to go down this road, considering that they are already doing just fine developing their own content. Content that will still generate views 5, 10, 15 years down the road, or even longer in syndication. 99% of fights are viewed only once, and then forgotten forever.

              I could see PBC doing a "ProBox" type thing and selling subs direct to consumer. It wouldnt generate enough money for their top 20 or 25 fighters, those fights could still be distributed on indy PPVs. But the app revenue might be able to keep the remaining 200 or so fighters in PBC stable busy until they work their way up to PPV level.......

                Surely it's best for us all if PBC joins ESPN or DAZN?

                  Oh man!! LOL!!

                  I mean mixed promotional events would be highly-ideal definitely.

                  Let's see what happens. News should be revealed soon.

                    Wow very well said!!

                    Only thing I would add is making more of the best fighting the best and equally competitive fights in all tiers.

                    That would really change the sport for much better man.

                      I mean that's the age old problem, they'd better not.

                      If they went to DAZN fans would be demanding more mixed-promotional fights. It's better for the sport all around.
