    How would you grade the first PBC event on NBC?

    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?

    C sounds about right. Biggest complaint is too many commercials, more than I've ever seen watching anything

    And the sound cut out multiple times during the Broner fight

    Fighter intros were boring and lame. Robert Bird was a disgrace, he pulled Molinas face back with his bare hands for no reason. Hes a horrible ref

    Thurman vs Guerrerro was a good fight but they didn't give Guerrerro a post fight interview when he was really the star of the show.

    It was their first event so I wasn't expecting it to be HBO quality but theres alot of things they need to improve

      The main event defiantly saved the day.

      Hopefully they didn't leave during the broner fight.

      But I don't know what the heck Molina was doing letting broner just violate him with the jab.

        Yeah C level seems about right. 7 AM now here in Bucharest. Wasnt worth staying up for, thanks to Guerrero and Thurman for a good fight. Guererro is one tough bastard. Commentary was abysmal. Overall it was underwhelming. ESPN FNF has a better format.

            D+

            Nothing good about the even except the Guerrero bout, everything else was off putting.

            From the ring walk to the no annoucer to the actual first bout.

              Good breakdown, in England it was on boxnation so we didn't have too many ads haha

                Haha, that was NBC beeping out the cuss words that Broner and Molina were throwing at each other. This is network TV man...

                  Main event was C and co feature was a D. Two obvious mismatches. No clue why Al decided to start the series with these fights. Can't wait for Garcia/Peterson Quillin/Lee.

                    Mods are censoring negative comments now?

                    Why? They arent getting revenue from these fights.
