Comments Thread For: Fox Sports, PBC Reveal Details of Multi-Year Agreement

[Boxfan83]

I love boxing, dont get me wrong but the dates and times are confusing. Id rather Haymon stick to the channels he has, keeps boxing in the EVENINGS, and if he wants to showcase up & comers, he should just buy more time on the channels he has already and stack undercards like UFC does. Id rather watch 3 straight hours of boxing in 1 day than have to DVR weekday fights thatll just get spoiled when I open up boxingscene without watching what I recorded lol! & I think this deal with Fox makes Haymon look more like what Arum and De La Hoya are saying about a monopoly.

Yeah but HBO will go inactive again for about 2-3 Months with no fights, how is that a good thing? That leaves a lot of fighters in active and then people are quick to complain about fighters only fighting Twice A Year. Well HBO only gives fighters 2 Fights a Year and that is if they can Squeeze you in. How can you over-saturate something that wasn't saturated in the first place? Boxing as a Sport nobody in America gives a **** about, all they care about is what Mayweather and Pacquiao is doing

Completely agree. Great post!

Agreed. 4 hours straight is better than boxing all over the week.

Haymon will soon completely dominate the boxing landscape in the US. HBO will be relegated to Bellator versus UFC status. Say what you will about Haymon, guy is putting a ton of boxing out there. These fighters are soon going to want that exposure. HBO has a cool broadcasting team but soon they will be dropping stars like flies..

If you ask me, he already has too many channels.

Would have liked him to stick to ESPN for the up and comers and NBC/CBS/Showtime for championship fights.

Establish those channels with boxing on specific dates and times and build a following. As it stands he's all over the place and its hard for casual fans to get into a routine with fights being held on about 6 different networks at different dates and times.

Yes he's putting on a ton of boxing, but many of these fights are pointless. Start a tournament and throw big advertising behind it. Sports fans want to see competitiveness. Not showcase fights where one fighter is almost guaranteed to win, and if this is the case, at least make the fight has a strong possibility of ending with a dramatic KO in order to draw casual fans in who will want to see it again.

How is it confusing it says on Tuesday nights there will be fights. Anyone who watches Foxsports1 will see the advertising and tune in.

This is just the tuesday cards. He's also had cards on fridays, saturdays and sundays over a number of different networks and at different times. To the average boxing fan who on the wknd or time off wants to see a fight other than what HBO shows, they wont have a clue where to look unless they actually do a google search or log onto the PBC website.

I usually just go to the cable guide and select boxing and it tells me what channel and time.
