      Glad that the deals are MULTI-YEAR and not just some 1 year stuff, so it gives them plenty of time to build and grow hopefully a New Audience over the next few years!

      This deal is more impressive than the others because it Involves the #1 Sports Network which already has its audience so to get PBC on ESPN is bigger than getting them on CBS or NBC IMO!

      The Game Was Over Before It Started! It is just a matter of waiting for guys current contracts run out with other Promotions and they will really have NO CHOICE to sign over with Haymon to get the big match ups and Paydays and TV TIME!

      I'm already a fan of Tessitore and Atlas so keeping them is great. Atlas give HIS HONEST OPINION! Doesn't give a **** about the fans "FEELINGS" and that is GREAT!

            If he doesn't have the money to pay the purses he will be offering, that 2 years can be cut short really fast.

              I would like to thank Al Haymon, without him this wouldn't be possible.

                Does it sound good? Hell Yes! Is it sustainable? That we'll have to see. It all depends on ratings and whether or not advertisers bite.

                    I guess the idea is to completely flood the market with enough product so that advertisers will be interested. It's quite a gamble spending so much money on bought time in addition to paying an absurd amount of purses. Hopefully during this time we get to see some quality fights and the actual titles recognized.
