PBC on your TVs every weekend for the next 2 months.

Well it is PBC, so the complain line is usually full on BoxingScene.

but but but but..... the mismatches doe!!!

as if HBO don't put mismatches on.

Haymon got all that money and this is what he decided to do with it.

Anyone want to agree with me About when I said his main goal is to get his 15% fighter fees?

These fights aren't going to build boxing, PBC, or any new stars, this is garbage.

Jack v Groves and Chaves v Alexander maybe to look forward. All the major players have TBAs lol

I understand Americans, who find it hard to get regular access to boxing, must like this and I'm happy for you. But in Europe, in particular the UK where we have dedicated channels and a big boxing run on Sky (somewhat costly but it comes in a package with multiple channels), we have access to not only boxing but better and more competitive match ups.

Some good fights

Didn't I just say that people are complaining saying that there are no competitive fights on the list? Which isn't true at all. Man you're dense as ****.

Yeah my brand is PBC you caught me... Everything is as simplistic as your mind makes it out to be.

People can say what they want about these cards.

It must be, or why else be so defensive?

If you guys are so hard up for free fights you can stream some pretty good ones online

You don't have to suffer through PBC cards just to get some boxing in your life

option 3 get a job

Hate Haymon or love Haymon, he's bring boxing back to television in a major way.

There will be a Premier Boxing Champions (or Haymon related) card on every week for the next two months+.

It started this past weekend with the ESPN debut and goes all the way through September 26th.

Looks like HBO will hit it's stride as usual in the fall/winter. You have Klitschko/Fury, Matthysse/Postal, Crawford returning all in October. And of course Cotto/Canelo in November and Tim Bradley vs probably Sadim Ali.

Some of these are actually decent fights: Frampton/Martinez; Santa Cruz/Mares; Jack/Groves and Bundrage/Charlo. Klitschko/Fury and Crawford vs the-stiff-of-the-month are both mismatches and Bradley/Ali is a snoozer. PBC is not offering any barburners, but, with the exception of Cotto/Alvarez, they are on the same level in terms of quality as HBO.

[ELPacman]

Not sure how I feel. Not the most compelling matchups. Should we just be grateful we have fights? Or would you rather larger gaps with greater quality matchups?

hmmm. Still probably too soon to judge the landscape that Haymon is creating within boxing. There will be a huge fallout eventually, either upside or downside. Obviously we hope for the upside, but I think it's too soon to really see where it's going to go.

Worse comes to worse, I hope HBO and Showtime can go back to doing what they do best and getting great matchups by working with the right promoters.
