Comments Thread For: Premier Boxing Champions, Amazon Prime Announce Multi-Year Rights Agreement

I believe Boots will end up on Amazon Prime along with the other PBC fighters; Since they hold all the cards and belts at the welterweight division.

I think he's going to have to sign with Al Haymon, to get Barrios, or the Stanionis vs. Thurman winner! There's no one else out there for him from 147-154, except PBC!

Or sign with PBC!

That’s what I’d like to see, yes. But I do think fighters should go where the best fights are made, Crawford may not always be pbc, he may price himself out

LoL @ people looking and asking questions so they can complain and hate. Hahaha! Per PPV's, it was always easy for me. If I didn't think it was PPV worthy I didn't buy it. So simple. No need for a bunch of whines and complaints. But, that doesn't help spread hate and divisiveness, if that's your program.

I just like Boxing. Without too many complications, re-matches, or deceptions about wanting to fight.

Shouldn't the consumer have the right to complain about the money that we're being asked to pay? The more fights on PPV, the more we are expected to subsidize. The money has to come from somewhere. If it's not from networks, advertisers, then it's the audience. The easy thing to do would be for fans to stay silent and let the boxers/promoters dig their graves, instead of trying to hold them accountable. Boxing will play victim and complain when PPVs and events don't do well, but then not do anything to change its methods. If everything goes to ****, Boxing can't turn around and say the fans didn't warn them.

I was wondering the same. Had Prime for the last 6 years. Hopefully every supposed BIG fight isn't on ppv or I'll do what I've been doing and stream the sh.it.
I did finally buy a ppv after over 10 years....the Bud annihilation of Errl, which was worth every penny!

Yea this will be interesting to see. I'd like to see no more than a PPV fight every quarter, so 4 a yr, but I think thats probably wishful thinking at this point.

He's in a position now, with a belt, so he doesn't have to, but it seems like it'd be the preferred move to get the best fights.

Amazon boxing smh it keeps getting pushed further back from main stream

What are you talking about? More ppl got Prime Video/Amazon (200M) than Showtime/Paramount (63M), ESPN (24M) & DAZN (15M) combined.

Granted I get that the overall trend over the long haul is moving down from the Pabst Blue Ribbon Fight Night days when TV had 3 options to watch, but its a different world now & Amazon Prime is a move up from Showtime. Nothing is altering that trend tho so that is what it is.

West side of Chicago? What parts? I was born on North ave

Austin and Madison

[wrecksracer]

Don't know what country you're from, but Prime is on TV's and computers all over the states. LoL!

As you are well aware, PBC fans were mocking DAZN for being on an app for years.

[wrecksracer]

No wonder you are faceless, such a silly comment. No one watches Amazon Prime on their phone.

and yet that's what PBC fans were saying about DAZN for years. I can't tell if you're playing ******, or you are ******.

The best fights at 147: Stanionis, Thurman, Barrios, and Crowley! All PBC! Best fights at 154: Crawford, Spence, Tszyu, Charlo, Ramos, Fundora, and Lubin! All PBC!
