There is no way I believe those numbers, not from a station that is in 70% of the US markets.

Maybe Deveel916, Sadam Ali and others will see this and better understand my points about why it's good to show fights on different networks at different times.

Well to be honest, I kept hearing about a card a PBC card on BounceTV but had no idea it already passed. This is the problem I'm speaking of. If not for this site I would have not even known BounceTV was even a channel.

Still dont agree with your point of having cards on multiple channels on different times and dates will bring in more viewers.

Establish a few networks with specific times and dates that the average fan knows where and when to tune in to watch boxing and throw big advertisement behind it. That's the key.

How about we just agree to disagree.

Yeah not sure how accurate it is maybe they are inflating the numbers by adding live stream numbers which I have no clue how they calculate let alone validate.

damn this is great number for that channel

[MisanthropicNY]

These numbers are about as fake as the projected numbers for Mayweather-Maidana 2 aka those numbers were never released...for good reason too

The folks with over 400 million bucks on the line disagree with you. Just saying.

Bounce is a start up aimed at a specific niche so I can understand how many may have missed it. We agree that better promotion/advertising/communication is needed.

Long term I think its the best plan because it could grow the base. The shows on Bounce are also designed to grow the African American fanbase, which is not a bad thing either.

I think your suggestion is valid for a network show. I don't see how you can do it with "time buy" program that gets lots as they come available.

I guess time will tell how well this strategy works for them.

wow thats very impressive when i searched for the channel i realized u can get it with antenna in most cities. this should be a hell of a platform for the up and comers. im honestly shocked by that number to be honest

[Cinci Champ]

Great numbers for debut on a channel a lot of people don't even know cable provider carries channel haymon matchmakers now need to deliver better match ups for rest of year to make pbc more successful for 2016

they will there is no doubt about that but this is more of a low profile prospect builder type show but lets be honest why do people only complain about pbc match making? hbo has a lot of bad matchups as well or no matchups at all and its not like any other promoter is putting on good cards on other channels. Even when pbc has tried put on entertaining matches like broner porter or peterson garcia and now mares santa cruz people still find ways to complain. At end of the day the pbc cant win with a good portion of fans even now that they are putting on better and better cards. i mean broner porter and mares santa cruz are dam good matchups even thurman guerrero was a good match up. people are just jumping to conclusion and at least appreciate the good matchups. can u imagine if pbc pulled out of a purse bid then put kovalev in the last fight he was in? mandatory or not whatever it wouldnt matter maybe if people held everyone to the same standard i would get it but u got fighters like crawford who while hes fought some tough matches not really cards where ur like oh my god i have to watch that besides gamboa. If people held all these channels promoters managers to same standard i would take the bashing more serious i for one love pbc because i love having boxing to watch every week. now that there is pbc there is boxing literally every single week and the matchups are getting better
