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

[kiaba360]

PPV is to cover purses.

True, but what happens when too many fighters desire more than what the budget will allow? What match-ups will be left for the non-PPV shows? For example, a match-up like Cruz/Martin should headline one of those "free" shows, but Cruz is waiting for Davis to cherry-pick him. If we're lucky to get Cruz/Martin, will that somehow become a PPV?

It's good that PBC found another broadcaster, but I had no doubt they would. The only question was the "where". I just don't want a repeat of what we saw the past few years with PPV over-saturation, chronic inactivity, and primadonna behavior. It's yet to be seen whether the Amazon deal is an improvement over the SHO deal.

Posted this a YEAR AGO before Showtime even announced they was leaving boxing!

FOX don't want to commit to Boxing, they don't feel it is worth it and honestly, they're not wrong!

Either everything gets moved to Paramount Global OR they add another Network or APP...watch out for Amazon, they seem to be interested in Expanding Live Sports Events on their Platform. Unlike DAZN, they was able to land the rights to Exclusive NFL Content, then in a Interesting move they recently did a Deal with ONE Championship (MMA) in which they will have an event on Prime Video monthly

maybe PBC gets a Similar deal in which they do a Monthly Event Live on Prime I'm sure it is things in the works that they can't announce because FOX decided to pick up that Option despite not being willing to Spend much money on Fights so they just throwing anybody on PPV like Ruiz vs Ortiz

AND NOW...

PBC on Amazon Prime debut is in March which means their had to be another deal somewhere right?

Well....

PBC PPV fights will be available for all viewers to purchase, regardless of Prime membership.

Which means this deal will eventually die, because Amazon is not going to keep throwing money at fighters.

The same way DAZN boxing fans felt about purchasing PPV fights on its app. After Eddie Hearn had all but pronounced that that particular business model had become obsolete and outdated!

I cant speak for all DAZN viewers, but when they pulled that okey-doke and started with the PPVs I dumped my subscription.........

[OnePunch]

He should floaty between whomever is going to get him the best fights at welterweight and light middleweight

that will be difficult since his pops wont let him fight anyone with a pulse

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

Huh? They just signed a contract that will give boxing its largest exposure to date! Over 200 million!

[Inoue Body Shot]

Very interesting.

[SUBZER0ED]

So glad that DAZN didn't win the bid. Those rip-off artists offer nothing to justify the expensive subscription fee.

Good to hear. Just hope Haymon doesn't f*** it up again.

Lmao you sound like a moronic casual. 99% of fighters signed to Al are happy with him, he’s done great ppv numbers that the rest of the promoters only even dream of. It’s not Haymon fault that the tv executives have other plans

Who is your cable provider Verizon, Comcast, ATT or Xfinity

It's xfinity. It's stable around here. I usually don't have streaming issues
