There’s no question that Al Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions series has been a game changer. First announced in January after months of speculation of starting a league of his own, PBC hit the airwaves on March 7 with a televised doubleheader running live from Las Vegas on free-to-air NBC in primetime.
Friday night will mark the fifth installment of the series, spread out over three networks (with more to come). The cards that aired on NBC and CBS represent the three most viewed boxing-related telecasts of 2015, including more than 4 million viewers tuning in for the March 7 premiere, headlined by Keith Thurman's highly entertaining - if one-sided - 12-round decision over Robert Guerrero.
