Ink Master is on Tuesday though... I think.

I have no idea what that is

good move...

If I'm home and on paper the fight seems like it will be interesting then sure. I'm not one of those "no life having, I'll tune into any boxing fight regardless of who it is" type of fan though. Or maybe I'll tune in and if after 2-3 rounds I'm not liking what I'm seeing I may just change the channel. I'm a fan of boxing and good competitive matchups. If not competitive it better at least guarantee some action ala Canelo/Kirkland.

How would a fight of up and coming prospects you do not know about and haven't seen look good on paper? What does having a life have to do with watching boxing on a Tuesday night for a couple hours if you are a big fan? These are prospects you otherwise would never get to see until they got a chance on a major network. Also get to see young stars blossom and develop.

This is the essence of the sport-the struggle to reach the top. These are the kinds of fights designed for hardcore true fans about the sport.

Hopefully you will set aside your biases (personal not racial) against Haymon and allow yourself to enjoy the show.

The PBC is oversaturating the market just to shut out other promoters...Instead of being intent on a monopoly, Al should just focus on a few networks and making the best, most exciting fights possible. If he did that, he could probably get the TV deals he is looking for in a couple years.

Or..... they can call Al Haymon and tell him they want to feature their fighters on his PBC cards

Yet if you ask the average boxing viewer what date/time/channel is the next PBC card they wont have a clue. I'm a diehard fan and I dont even have a clue.

Quality > Quantity. Spreading medicore cards over a plethora of networks on different dates and timeslots isnt the key to growing. Quality cards along with consistency and establishing your brand on 1 or 2 major networks is the key.

Boxing fans have got to be the most technologically ******ed people in the world.

Dates, networks, fights.

Thank you Haymon!

Looking forward to more mismatches.

Exciting news.

So HBO & Showtime don't give mismatches???

Trout/Hernandez? Way to kill the audience before it has a chance to grow. Fox will compare its UFC ratings vs PBC ratings and end up dumping boxing altogether for mma.

Trout/Hernandez is the equivalent of GGG/Lemieux and we don't have to pay for it.

Vasquez, J Rock & Fortuna headlining on separate dates!!

Some good fights coming to fox sports besides the trout fight. Jesus Rojas, trained by cotto's uncle had some potential to be a decent fighter but I haven't seen him in a long time. Julian Williams, Fortuna, Velasquez thank you pbc for taking over boxing!
