    Dan Rafael from ESPN answered my question

    He feels pretty much how most feel. I'm sure if there's more bs match ups then he'll turn on it

    Mr. Lopez (Sacramento/Las Vegas)
    Dan, How impressed are you with PBC so far?

    It's been hit and miss in terms of the actual bouts and the television presentation/production. But I am not going to judge it too harshly yet. It's brand new and I am fine to go with the flow for a few shows and give it a chance to find its legs -- except in the case of the CBS dude who did not ask Stevenson about Kovalev.

    Same kinda political answer we here from most. Everyone says, "give it time" problem is unless we see some major upsets, I see PBC as being very predictable.

      I think it's an appropriate answer. PBC has only been on for a month, so it's understandable to defer any criticism. With this weekend's fight card, I'm sure they'll be some fireworks and some unpredictable outcomes. Both the Lee-Quillin and Garcia-Peterson fights are about as evenly matched as you can get.

        Good answer by Dan. I was also baffled (from a professionalism standpoint), but not surprised (from a business standpoint), that dude didn't ask Stevenson about Kovalev. My guess was Haymon or his emissary forbade mentioning a non Haymon fighters name on the show.

            PBC will never mention any fighters now associated with Haymon

                PBC needs to fail because PBC is not boxing. PBC is just all about haymon and his fighters (who the majority of are cowards). it's all just one big lie con show circus act meant to turn the masses into blind robots and turn them away from real boxing and real boxers. the same blind robots that chant "TBE! TBE! TBE!" without knowing what they are even saying.

                i love boxing. i also hate it because of real corruption. but there is nothing to love about PBC. it's just pure corruption and pure phony show clown juggling.

                i urge everyone to not support PBC. I'm not watching the fights tomorrow as protest. we don't want danny vs peterson or quillin vs lee. we want better. we deserve better than this. without us there is no boxing. who is with me????

                  Hopefully, this weekends fights are good, especially if Lee wins. As for the main event, why couldnt they just call it a WW fight, since it is a WW fight?
