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

[IMDAZED]

Pretty much this.

Probably want some boxing footage in a boxing commercial if you want to get the non-boxing fans excited about it.

Actually, that would probably turn them off. They'd be like, "oh...boxing."

That said, the commercial was decent at best. I suspect they'll be variations of it in the coming weeks.

I've seen kids deal with differing opinions better than this.

Not hoping for the sport to fail based off my disdain with one man isnt a differing opinion. It's called being a mature ****ing human. Not a petty women.

So I dont really get where you're coming from. Petty women.

Good promo given nbc couldn't use hbo or sho highlights. Program looks promising. I wonder what the responses would be if someone else was doing this?

Yeah that's one that bugs me out. Some people have fair opinions and others are just wishing it fails or wanna diss it because it's the evil Al Haymon. He gave us Garcia-Salka! Forgetting that he also gave you Garcia-Khan, Garcia-Judah, Garcia-Matthysse, etc. Ok we get it.

Free fights for the masses BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

The guy doesn't give interviews!!!!!

More Latin Furys and Pinoy Powers please.

If anyone else outside of Mayweather/Haymon and maybe post Poland Hitler were bringing Boxing back to the masses this place would build a statue for that person. Since it's Haymon, lets hope it fails and maybe in another 15 years boxing could get a chance like this again.

The hate is strong when the hardcore base is cheering for their favorite sport to fail just so they can have a chuckle at the expense of 1 man.

A mediocre commercial is a mediocre commercial. Are we supposed to suck on Haymon's **** 24/7 now no matter what he does?

And honestly, which post in here even implied they wished for Haymon to fail? You're creating strawmen.

I completely disagree with everyone here. You guys are speaking for yourselves as hardcore fans. Commercial wasnt great, but it shows the characters of boxing in a way and casuals want that part of it. You have to be interested in the person before the sport.

And I doubt Haymon made or had say in this commercial. It's more likely a NBC production crew.

People are being far too critical. When was the last time we had these caliber of fights on network tv? Far too critical. Give it a ****ing chance. SHow some support to the sport and put your petty ass women bs to the side for a second. For ****s sake. I feel like boxing fans refuse to let things suceed with their worshipping.

This is my way of showing support for the sport. I call it how I see it.
Al Haymon is bad news and is likely to do more harm than good.

I'm not hoping for him or the sport to fail, the opposite really,
just reminding others why you shouldn't get your hopes up so early,
that's all.
If he proves me wrong, like I said, I'll give the man props.

Maybe I am being a bit too critical but he's earned it.
We'll just have to agree to disagree and leave it at that.

Great post. Greenk sent.

With a$$hole fans of the sport like many in this thread, no wonder boxing isn't on free tv.

So you think this commercial was aimed at people who are turned off by boxing?

Maybe you're right.

I'm not sure what I'm more impressed by, your wearing or your criticism of women.

I think it was aimed at whomever was watching the Super Bowl i.e. everyone. It was decent, no more, no less.
