What did you guys think of the PBC commercial on NBC?

[DoktorSleepless]

I asked this question a few pages back - does Haymon have the rights to that footage?

It normally belongs to the promoter, which would mean it's all Oscar's.

If he doesn't, they can pay for the right to use it. Happens all the time.

[Hougigo]

I thought it was cool, but they arent movie stars. They're boxers, instead of showing them walking on some red carpet they shouldve shown one KO of each person, what else is gonna attract casual fans?

They most likely don't have the rights to show that

Would the promoter have to agree to release the footage?

Might Oscar not be willing to release the footage?

[Hype job]

No I like him because he has secured 11 cards on network ****ing tv.

Wow we have a few competitive fights on network and you pop a boner, don't blame u doe, in the past 5 or so years Haymon's been feeding BS fights and over protecting his fighters, it's not surprised that your standards have been lowered so much to see competitive fights as a major deal.

And yeah if we keep getting these competitive fights on NBC I'll give Haymon credit, but I worry that we might get more Salka type fighters when one of his stars has an off night.

Ah, fair enough then. I'm happy to see though it's just two borderline trolls who are not at all representative of most people here.

Fair points. I was reading the other threads as well.

[DoktorSleepless]

Yeah most aren't even that blatant but I don't know how you can ask a dumb question like Sleepless did when you can clearly see posts like the one you quoted. Actually I do know why he would ask that dumb question. It's when that burn hits your soul and you're feeling sore.

A guy wishing death on another human being on the internet is a troll. It's what trolls do. And the other guy with 70 posts, whose brief history of intigating its not someone id worry about. I'd only be concerned if actual serious posters were saying these type of things. Otherwise Im not gonna get worked over these people, and neither should you.

I'm looking forward to the fights, but that commercial was pretty forgettable.

I don't. Definitely won't see me running up in a thread asking who said what like I'm sore. And whether you like to admit it or not, there are quite a few people, trolls and non trolls, who want to see this fail because it's Haymon. And any sensible person knows this. Others want those posters ID'ed? Idk.

[Craveman]

I think it's pretty cool. There's some swag, and man I don't even like half of these guys as well.

[Aztekkas]

I thought it was a commercial for some cheap liquor or cologne at first... Meh, it's a bit tacky but they might not have much to work with in terms of footage to put together a nice highlight reel for each individual fighter. I'm sure it will improve once they have a few fights in and they can actually string together a nice sequence of shots to exhibit their fighters best attributes.
