Comments Thread For: Frampton-Gonzalez Draws PBC/CBS Ratings Bump

[MrP4P]

Haymon dropping mega bucks to deliver ESPN Friday night fight ratings, he gonna save boxing though....

Dude. Hes not saving Boxing in the sense that ratings will skyrocket! and the sport is going to make a ton of money! or anything like that. Boxing is going to stick around, it doesnt need saving, it needs change.

The hope is that Haymon's approach changes Boxing down the line 20 or so years from now. Promoters having less of a grip on fighters, getting paid the money they deserve, a union to protect the fighters and take care of them after their careers are over, a universal commission that will rid all of the organizations, and having Boxing back on regular TV.

Thats the hope and bigger picture here.

That reads like a PBC press release. It also groups live and deferred viewers together which is a way of making ratings seem higher than they actually were. When that was done for the GGG fight from Monaco, people jumped up and down about it. Need some live numbers from an independent source before accepting these numbers as fact.

Another HBO nutlicker. Gets a good fight, talks crap about the ratings. Even though it did 1M during the day.

It's a thread about ratings dip*****, Kick rocks *** boy...

If you don't know about something, then you shouldn't comment on it. You run the risk of looking foolish.

Stick to what you're best at. Don't pretend to be an actual fan of the sport.

The people investing almost half a billion dollars in PBC are not doing it to turn a profit 20 years down the line and they are not doing it in some altruistic goal to change the sport for the better. Their clients want a return on their dollars ASAP and don't give a crap about improving the sport. They just care about profit.

Not true bud. They are well aware of Haymon's situation and this is more of a 5 year plan rather than a "I want my money now" thing
