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

wtf?

Vasquez Jr. vs. Lopez and Lara vs. Rojas should have been on the same card, .

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.

I dont know about you, but there's about 20 other things in my life that get priority over watching boxing. I'm a fan but it doesnt consume a major part of my life like some people here. I work full time in addition to having a business that I attend to after work. If I'm home I'll give it a shot and if I like what I see I'll tune in. If not I'll tune out. It's about what entertains me.

Like I already stated.....This is a good start by having a consistent schedule on a consistent channel at a consistent time. This is what Haymon should have done from day 1.

Now stop being lazy!

Deveel916 acts like finding a boxing program on TV is the equivalent of Medical School. The cadaver doctors practice surgery on could find the channel in 2 minutes, why can't he FFS?

Just what PBC needs. Yet ANOTHER channel to further confuse and throw off casual viewers.

Yes, because casual viewers are ****** and don't have enough sense to find boxing content unless promoters make it easy for them by only putting in on two channels six times a year.

Great move....

Is is what they should have done to start with,,, a weekly show, same time, same channel..
Much like wwe and bellator,,, is will help grow the casual audience, especially Tuesday nights as there is hardly anything on those nights, especially in terms of sports

Exactly..

You made a good point yesterday when you posted the following....

A regular schedule.. Their cards are all over the place, different days, times, channels...

PBC should have just bought Friday night fights on espn for the next 2-3 years, instead of buying spots all over the place...

If pbc was on TV every Friday on espn at 8pm, then it would be much easier to build a casual audience following..
Bellator and wwe both used this model to perfection.. Pbc needs to do the same if they want to grow the outside from more than just hardcore fans

Dude we all work, we all have kids, we all have responsibilities of some kind. SO you get something you like on a Tuesday, this is how boxers like Roy, BHop and Floyd and others eventually got to HBO-they blew up on Tuesday night fights when thy couldn't get spots on bigger Saturday shows.

Must be a generational difference between you and I because before they announced this I was hoping something like this would come back.

I'm just surprised a boxing fan doesn't seem interested in this at all. Is what it is.

I hate to see a successful black man.
























, I swear that's what some of you delusional f**ks must read when you respond to any criticism about Al Haymon and PBC.

I'll give u an example....

My coworker is a boxing fan. Not diehard but will tune in when he hears of a good matchup. I just asked him if he's going to tune into the next PBC fight. His response..."Who/what is PBC". I told him its a new boxing promotion headed by Al Haymon. His response..."Who's Al Haymon". I told him that he's the head of PBC and is the one who put on last Saturdays card. He asked "well what channel are these PBC fights on". I told him he can catch them on either "espn, nbc, cbs, spike, BounceTV, foxsports1" He gave me an utter look of confusion.

Point I'm trying to make is, us fans who follow the sport and frequent sites such as this can easily follow what fights are on. For someone like my co-worker who isnt as diehard as us here, it'll be hard for him to follow with such a broad array of channels, times, dates. This goes for any show. Take the most popular show on tv right now and keep switching what channel its on in addition to which day of the week they show it and at what time. Guarantee you viewership will fall like a rock!

Tuesday night fights is a move in the right direction. Now he needs to implement the same strategy for a network like ESPN.

So the people you work with are too ****** to use google or a channel guide? Sounds like a real high profile job.
