How would you grade the first PBC event on NBC?

[Da Machine]

C-, and the only reason its that high was because Guerrero and Thurman saved the night.

Should be a solid D, based on the first fight and commentary.

Definietly had a different feel to it. I like the interviewing and stuff. Didnt even mind at all no Annoncer or entourage although the walk out was silly. Give them there own music please and at least let the cornerman walk with them.

In order for this PBC to work long term, all the boxing promoters need to suck up their ego's and work together. BUT yea, doubt that will happen.

Eventually after the Haymon matchmaking continues, the fights will get dry and limited.

They need all promoters to work together.

C. Hire a good matchmaker and bring back the entrances. PBC need action fights and entertainment.

They SHOULD, but this is Boxing Haymon can make these fights, within his own stable: Broner vs Thurman, Broner vs Garcia, Matthysse vs Broner, Maidana vs all of these fightersl and any number of combination involving them, and by then the Pbc will be a staple, and he will be able to deal with the other promoters as the b-side or just sign them early for his Company. Haymon is about to run Boxing. And Arum said Haymon and Jay Z hate each-other. but the production is good and it looks like they are willing to spend money on it and oh yeah, it didnt cost ****. when they get more experience as a team they will get better. Overall a B

This fight was meant to bring boxing back to the mainstream however I don't think it was a particularly great event. Fights way below par and i'd grade it C+ at best. It's 5am here in England so disappointed in Molina but I genuinely think Matthysse took his soul. Main event was not bad, what grade would you give it?

I'd give it a 6/10. The Broner fight was a disgrace and the main event was pretty one sided till after the KD when all of a sudden Guerrero went mad as hell and started throwing everything. Thurman was tired af at the final bell and was looking to coast, imagine if that had been a 15 rounder?

The post fight interviewer was **** though and the entrances were weird, they just go and stand on a platform? lol

The production was an A.

If you want to grow the fanbase beyond laughable slim shady wannabes and assorted trash, you need to get rid of the entourages and rap concert ring walks. Restore the class of the sport. Make it something an adult will watch.

A ring announcer is fine if it's the classy Lennon or Buffer, but it's a slippery slope to the buffoonish Bruce Buffer or some other disgrace.

It was a good presentation. There are a few tweaks to make, but they are on the right track.

Your remark about restoring the class in the sport was spot on. ...One little detail I liked about the production, was the pics of the fighters in suits.

Nice touch. ...making it out to be the gentleman's sport it once was hailed to be.

but LOL> soon after, we see Broners antics in the ring.

Excuse me? I hope that wasn't a sly dig about me because a nickname should not offend a grown man. Very rude and uncalled for.

[sabonis11]

My only real complaint is that the introductions/ringwalks felt very reality TV. The whole generic gladiator music didn't feel right at all, and didn't represent the fighters, especially a guy like Broner.

Anyway, I'm hoping they will make some changes and it will get better with time.

I really appreciated the nice brisk pace of the production. No bloated annoying ring walks with loud slurring rappers...we didn't have to sit through 3 national anthems being performed by soul singers who hold each note for 30 seconds and rearrange the tune.

It moved along nicely and looked great.
