Comments Thread For: Barclays CEO: PBC Event Sold Fastest Among Fight Bills

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Saturday's card is a hot ticket at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. According to Barclays CEO Brett Yormark, the second edition of Premier Boxing Champions on NBC sold faster than any previous boxing event which took place at the venue.

PBC on NBC will be headlined by a showdown between junior welterweight champions Danny "Swift" Garcia (29-0, 17 KOs) and Lamont Peterson (33-2-1, 17 KOs), who collide at a catch-weight of 143-pounds. And in the televised co-feature, IBF middleweight champion "Irish" Andy Lee (34-2, 24 KOs) will defend his crown against undefeated challenger Peter "Kid Chocolate" Quillin (31-0, 22 KOs). The second installment of PBC on NBC begins at 8:30 p.m. ET

LIES!!! I'm a hater and I know for a fact that they gave all their tickets away. The lights will be dull, the lack of ring girls will take away from the action and why Barclays? Why not MSG??!!

Plus this is a catch weight.. When in the history of boxing had this happened? Certainly hbo, top tank, gbp and others wouldn't allow this to take place. No way, no how

Hit nail on head!

A boxing event selling= great

A PBC event selling = lies. Nobody wants to see this! These fights are a disgrace!

I expect many to stay away.

Never even heard of Barclays. What is that? Must be some old run down building. What a joke. Bob Arum needs to save boxing and make everything PPV. That's how you succeed!

I think they are going to have proper ring entrances now at least. On their Facebook they were asking fans to pick the ring entrance songs for Garcia, Peterson and Quillin (each fighter had three songs they presumably approved and the fans will pick). At least they changed that. Now they got to get the other stuff right.

Heard Applebees was doing 2 for $20 plus a PBC ticket.

They had that for the CBS event. Adonis came out to the classic Superman music from the 80s.

Garcia's music taste though... It's ****ing horrible.
