here's an interesting tidbit. the guy who lets Haymon into the ESPN henhouse, Brian Kweder, now works for Haymon/PBC. Yeah, irony #boxing

1. That is old news.

2. This dude, Steve Kim, is so anti-PBC it s borderline pathetic. Everyday, there are at least 10 tweets from this guy that are against PBC.

What needs to be discussed?

He was laid off along with many others and found another job.

I'm just asking a question.

Four posters practically just tripped over themselves coming in here to say it was "old news"...I just wanted to see when it became news.

The better question is, now that you know that Kweder was laid off from ESPN, and that he took another boxing related job with one of the few boxing related en****** in the world that is hiring, why exactly is this 'news' at all?

He got fired, along with others and found a new job.

It wasn't a secret.

[Mitchell Kane]

now that you know that Kweder was laid off

That part's not new.

Again, for people who said this was old news, when did it become news?

Dan Rafael:

Brian Kweder, the former ESPN programming executive who was the network's point person for its deal with Premier Boxing Champions, has been hired by PBC as a consultant to serve as a liaison between the company and its various television partners as it looks to organize its schedule, solidify the matchups and restructure its time-buy deals.
