How did PBC kill Friday Night Fights? What’s the story behind that?

They did a time-buy with ESPN and part of the deal was that ESPN agreed to eliminate the Friday night Fights.

Since PBC single-handedly killed the best development boxing show ever created (ESPN Friday Night Fights), it would certainly be appropriate for them to make an effort to replace it......

O Lawd!!!! Since PBC started the Vietnam War they should ..... Since PBC started the housing market crash in 2008 they should ..... Since PBC killed Biggie & Tupac they should ... Since PBC planted the WMD in Iraq they should .... Since PBC flew the planes into the twin towers on 9/11 they should ..... YADA YADA YADA!!! LOL

you should just start every post you make with the disclaimer..... black=good white=bad


it would save everyone alot of time

but just for giggles are you dis*****g my statement that PBC killed the ESPN Friday night Fights?? Because its pretty common knowledge, and it was a part of their ESPN time-buy deal

No seriously though BS wrote a nice piece on Espinosa the other day and during the interview he joked that " it's not like Amazon is trying to take over the sport". Wrong! Amazon's entire business philosophy was to come in and takeover the world's supply and demand chain route. Even with Prime they are second only to Netflix. They are not coming into boxing to be friends with their competitors, they are here to takeover like Conor Macgregor's whiskey label. Prime has plans to use PBC to monopolize the sport. This Canelo v Munguia fight is the last deal with DAZN. GBP will be with Prime in the near future and ESPN will follow Show/HBO and leave the sport which will open the door for Prime to swoop in. Bank on it!

A positive ROI for every step is what these corporate goons need these days. Unfortunately I don't imagine this ever happens and it is sad.

Idk that Shobox is replaceable. I think its easy to do here n there for an event or two, but to last two decades & have the list of future belt holders, #1 guys & HOFers isn't an easy task. Idek that anyone is trying to replace Shobox yet.

Teetotaler69 may be a boxing fan but they have no clue what they’re talking about. Espinoza was the reason Showtime boxing existed and excelled as long as it did. He was also responsible for the top-quality matchups and productions. The Paramount + decision to walk away from boxing and MMA is a real disservice to fans of combat sports.

It wont happen. Corporations have taken over boxing now and they never look to make less money even though they will make more later. Their ******.
