Get on board or start learning who the top rated tennis players are pbc is growing and not going anywhere

These guys are all of a sudden concerned with TV advertisers, purses and ring walks lol boxing has a bunch of nerd fans. These are the "Steve Kims" of boxing. Never been in a fight never been in the ring but talk like they can beat up every boxer.

thats why i dont get all this bs about free fights on PBC. They are not free.

Very true besides 1 fight each month or 2 the vast majority of PBC fights are on Cable TV and a lot are on channels that are not covered by Basic Cable you need to go to some Sports Package or Premier Package from your cable provider to get it. Really only 5% of these PBC fights are truly free.

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

There are PBC fights on CBS and NBC. U guys really are ******ed, huh?

No use of arguing with these clowns. They are exactly the type of fans that hurt the sport. All they know is hate.

And soon were going to have Tuesday boxing every Tuesday in September which is awesome will have Friday night boxing were going to have Saturday boxing hell yeah PBC all the ****ing way

They had commercials, thus they had advertising. But since you work for PBC, what sponsorship deals do they have exactly? And... you pay for ESPN, it costs 13 or 14 a month and HBO is $15 a month and ESPN has commercials while HBO does not. I'm sure your community college degree in cable subscriptions or accounting is second to none, but I highly doubt you have any clue on what makes money or not.

ESPN wouldn't care about losing money, Haymon paid them to be on TV.

so people pay for ESPN the same amount of money as for HBO.But then you say PBC on ESPN is free and HBO not.Maybe you stop to lie and say PBC isnt free.

You air the same Corona commercial 20 times during the telecast you do not have advertisement. Corona paid to put their name on the ring and PBC has nobody to pay for advertisement so they just keep repeating their commercials for free. Take out Corona commercials and promos for ESPN what commercials did you really see? There is a reason they have many rounds where they don't even cut to commercials. And did I say ESPN cares if PBC doesn't get advertisers? ESPN already got paid but PBC cares. If they don't get advertisers they can't sustain these huge loses. They overpaid for production and promotion and are getting little TV ratings as result. And again if the ratings were so great then advertisers would be on board. HBO has no advertisers because it's a premium channel where you pay subscription and don't get any outside commercials. HBO doesn't have to worry about pleasing advertisers. PBC does.

LOL. Very true.

Having said that boxing gots to be one of the sports' that has the worst fans. A lot of boxing fans suck. They are negative all day long & seem to love being negative all day long. Something is wrong with every fight. Everyone is fighting bums or ducking. Nothing is ever good enough to some in this respectable size segment of boxing fans. Therefore them being negative about PBC is nothing unusual really cuz they hate 80% of the **** in boxing anyway.

This fight pulled more ratings than the Thurman fight even though it started later LMAO

So much for "One Time" being a ratings draw

[bigdunny1]

I stopped reading after "its a fact". Why do you care about advertisers and the money so much?? Just watch the d.a.m.n fight and sthu.. You a freaking blogger talking like a financial adviser.

Then stop quoting me you beyotch. You questioned if PBC is overspending for these fights and I pointing to it being a fact they have to release the fight purse amounts to public records and PBC fight purses prove they are overspending all their competitors with little to show for it in TV ratings.
