How would you grade the first PBC event on NBC?

[CLUE]

B. Because it produced one of the best fights of the year in terms of how much people liked it all over the place. Fight is getting so much praise on social media.

My husband and I loved watching boxing again! #NBCBoxing

and on and on and on.

That's the main thing, producing great fights. Not all this other dumb shit some of you are talking about that can easily be cleaned up.

It was ok. Not great not horrible. The lighting looked sweet on my TV which is the most important thing to me, besides the fights themselves.

[SIZE="3"]Here is what I didn't like about the PBC event:

1. They had an agenda. They deliberately ignored fighters who hold Titles. Keith Thurman was not announced as the WBA Champ, though I suppose some are ok with this since he is just the 'regular' champ.

How do you mean? they wouldn't talk about non-PBC fighters or just didn't mention Thurman's WBA title?

I watched on BoxNation, couldn't hear any entrance music at all. Crowd came across very flat.

C- and I'm not giving it an F,because Guerrero managed to come back with a late rally,and made it a fight. The ringwalks looked awkward as hell,the commentary was boring and dry,and the walk in stage looked like something ripped out of wwe. No ring announcer,and did anyone notice that they used the same song from grudge match? There was honestly more commercials than boxing, and it was insulting that they advertised the may vs PAC fight,but apparently mayweather is the only one fighting,since they only showed him. And did they really say that mayweather is the fighter of the decade,when its Pacquiao that won that award? All the hype was for nothing,because this won't put a dent in HBO or showtime. Haymon tried bringing out the big guns,and they all misfired. They literally gave away tickets for free,and there were still plenty of open seats,even at ringside.

Yeah that commercial was very lame. It just seemed to glorify Floyd and exaggerate his achievements and not even mention pacquiao at all.

C+

Broner fight was a dud,, didn't like the walkouts or announcing

[PulpFriction]

I'd grade the show a C. I thought Albert and Leonard were very boring. The ring entrances were lame. I still think this is great for the sport and we'll all just have to deal with everything being sugarcoated. I just hope in the future we don't get mismatch after mismatch like Haymon is known for.

It gets a solid B from me. This was given surprisingly quality production from NBC all around. I like how the ring entrances are kind of like pro wrestling style. I just want to see them have their own music.

The first fight was a joke as I said from the start. The main event was a good fight between two top 10 WW'S. The fights were pretty much what I expected from an entertainment standpoint so I'm satisfied.

If anything I was surprised by how well the production was put together. Now for the bad part. I find it a pretty big deal how Haymon bias this program is and is going to be. They aren't mentioning governing bodies at all, and they are only showcasing their fighters. I find it interesting how when they listed the best fighters of the decade they convieniently left out Hopkins, Jones, Pac, and said Floyd was the best of the 90s.

With a platform like this there need to discuss boxing as a whole not just the PBC fighters. It feels too much like a wrestling promotion or UFC.

[lolpz]

I don't EVER want to watch john molina fight again in my life again. Pure fking GARBAGE fighter.

How the **** do you go into a fight talking about going to war and being a gladiator then go into the fight with a guy standing directly in front of you flat footed for 11 out of 12 rounds and you throw 200 punches and land 40 the whole fight. The only round you go into intending to move your ****ing hands is in the final round when you've already lost every other rounds without even trying to win. Then in the post fight interview you complain " i thought he was going to stand and fight not run." Lmfao fking clown. Atleast admit you didn't do **** i mean your own ****ing corner was begging you to throw punches every single fking round.

Made boxing look like ****, broner actually fought really well and the fight would have been even better than thurman-guerrero if this molina motherfker didn't fight like he had a d*ck in his ******* for 12 rounds. Made broner kinda look bad too and disgraced his own nickname and his promoter trying to market him like a real warrior. Made joe goosen look bad.

Only place this guy ever belongs in is telemundo fighting mexican midgets at 2am for 3000$.
The true ****ing can man right here, belongs in the garbage-can. Bye.

Boxing might as well be Haymon Fighting Championship if you are watching what I just watched. Only HAYMON fighters exist in the program I watched, and the alphabet titles like WBA, WBC, etc. Do not exist at all. Every commercial for a future PBC broadcast only showcased Haymon fighters. For example Quillen got a TV spot and Lee Was hardly mentioned.

The May Pac fight got a commercial and you would think it was made by Mayweather himself.

I don't like this at all. But it was exciting to see how well produced the action was. You can tell they are trying hard To make this work.

Oh yeah. Now if they just ignored Thurman's WBA Title for the sake of simplifying it for the fans who can't keep up with all the sanctioning bodies, then OK - I can live with that.

But then they aired a promo with Deontey Wilder where he proclaimed himself as THE Heavyweight Champion of the world. Lets see if they announce him like that when he fights, and ignore Wlad Klitschko. Then they're clearly not helping the sport or help educating new fans.
