Al Haymon's Venture ship has started to sink

[pesticid]

It's pretty sad when you have a light heavyweight title fight on television and cannot sell any advertising at all over the two hour period. This what, the third PBC show? You'd think they would have had some interest by now based on the previous shows but it doesn't look like it. Must be tough being up against PGA Golf on NBC and ESPN Sports Saturday on ABC.

Yep, I don't know how people see light in the end of the tunnel here

omar figuerou and danny garcia paid haymon millions to air their commercials over and over

these commercials are cringeworthy - the Peterson vs Danny fight is a nice fight on paper

*****, complain, whine and more *****ing. That's all some of you dudes do. Its a FREE pro fight with named fighters and still you whine. lol

Yes, and if it continues to go this way with no improvements to the show, it will not last very long. Poor production values do not attract viewers. Poor match ups do not attract fight fans either. So if things do not improve, there will not be FREE fights on for very much longer. Just because Haymon has a full year or two year contract does not mean he is obligated to continue putting on fight cards. Contracts can be cancelled and most have an out clause.

So all of you 'supporters' just keep being satisfied with the crap we are being fed and don't look for any improvements and wait and see what will happen.

****** complaining about something that means more eyes on boxing. If you hate the commentary just mute your television or put some ear buds in and listen to music.

PBC is poop. it will fail hard.

complete boring mismatches. boring commentary. poor production. etc. etc.

i don't see how this will bring in more fans to the sport. if anything this turns off people. haymon is killing boxing's reputation with this poop circus show.

i didn't even bother watching most of the fights and virgil hill almost put me to sleep with his commentary.

It's not sinking it just launched off the deck.

I am very curious as to where the profit comes in though. Obviously they have long term goals but they must be losing a ton of money early on (or better way to put it - they have invested a ton of money in hopes of making big profit later which remains to be seen on exactly how and where that comes from).

Nope, if you suck at production you will turn off people who are curious to see what boxing is about. The commentators and the production has been very bad, there is no denying that and bad production means boring air time and if I were not a fight fan I would've have changed the channel.

The PBC hate is hilarious. Its a two year venture and you got ******s acting like salesman and professional businesswoman talking like they know this will fight 3 cards on.

is someone forcing him to sit there and watch it, youre on a computer with internet access, go watch some **** you enjoy, instead of being a troll, go jerk off or something (some people are just miserable)...I bet it gets more boxing fans than backyard or barnyard boxing or whatever you call it...ooh passion of the christ is on, talk about no defense.

As dull and boring as it is on television, imagine how it is live and in person? No ring girls, no entrance with your music and entourage to get the crowd going, not even a damn ring announcer! I have never seen fights where the ring was so empty after the fight. Usually the ring is packed with people: the ring girls, announcer, corner staff, reporters, camera men, promoters, managers, friends and entourage, etc... After a PBC fight the ring is empty and it does not make for a good impression for viewers and fans. If anything, it looks like no one gives a damn about the fight and didn't bother to show up.

I was surprised that they actually gave in and allowed him to display his belt and actually announced him as the WBC champion after the fight, however. Not that it made much difference overall.
