How would you grade the first PBC event on NBC?

HBO and SHO, especially HBO though show us brits how production should be done - the only thing that irks me is the inherent bias but youll never be rid of that

They usually make UK shows look feeble in comparison, especially Boxnation ones, ITV and most of Sky's. If i look for video replays for any fight, id prefer to pick the HBO coverage if available, not a UK version

This PBC thing though, with the gladiators music and donning the fighters in suits, genuinely had my household in hysterics last night. It was like a mix of who wants to be a millionaire and boxing.
Just keep it simple, professional and sports-like, not a gameshow.

This first card just looked to be showing the mid-level fighters around, in competitive fights which is great. But if we are ignoring titles here, how can you do this for the champs of the division? There wasnt really any premier boxing champions on show last night, just a few contenders. World titles need to bw reformed, not attempted to be replaced. Having two systems like this just wont work

That part was awful everything had a reality tv based stink to it.

I thought the overall production was fine tbh, it didn't make me enjoy the show any less. Maybe it's because I didn't watch every minute of the telecast that I'm not complaining about anything. The match-ups should be top priority, and as long as they get that right, then the production quality goes unnoticed.
