why is SRL such a boring commentator???

and marv is just as bad,PBC on NBC has such a horrendous announce team

No it's not when a fight is announced fans either say hey this is a decent fight or this fight SUCKS! And too often then not PBC fights when announced suck. There is a difference between one fighter who is better and supposed to win fighting against another top fighter in the division but maybe not elite or the best fighter in the division. Instead with PBC you got a name fighter in a division fighting unnamed, unranked, guys who have never appeared on a major telecast fight before. That's the difference. And trust me fans can tell the difference too which is why PBC TV Ratings are in the toilet and declining each month. Sure every now and then a fight that was a huge mismatch waste of time on paper ends up being a decent fight. But that's your classic case of even now and then a blind squirrel finds a night. And as we see with PBC even in those cases where luckily the fight wasn't as one sided as we thought the problem is it's such a mismatch on paper that fans are not even bothering to tune in.

You are one of those "glory fighters" fans. You dont want to see the fighters and judge for yourself if they are good or not, you want to be told who is good.

Dont worry though. HBO back on after a month off and you get 2 fights this month. Well one is a mismatch that you get to pay for.

A one sided shut out is the FOTY? Yeah, you really don't know jack squat about boxing. I'll take your boxing card right now lil homey, I'll let you know when you can have it back.

I don't give a Damn what looks good on paper, the matchmakers obviously know more than you do dummy. Guerrero vs Martinez didn't look good on paper but in reality was a better fight than freaking Mathysse pummeling Provodnikov over 12 rounds.

Yes Because I'm the only one who has the Matthysee fight as a Fight of the year candidate. It's not like just about every other major boxing website either has it number one or in their top 2? Oh right they do. Guerrero vs Martinez a fight in front of like 15 people that had no significance in the division in a fight that is only famous because how dreadful and far Guerrero has fallen. Over 2 of the best fighters at 140 slugging it out in front of a huge audience instead of 15 people in the empty stub hub?

Have fun watching the newly announced PBC fighter vs TBA (aka drunk bum who drives the school bus that we pluck off the streets). But hey it's free well not really but that's what I tell myself to justify this crap. By the looks of the TV Ratings fans really love these fights.

I will thanks.

Good luck trying to get people to think you know what you are talking about. Hope that works out for you.

Excellent! That's the perfect analogy. He needs to be told by Rafael who's good and don't watch cause the ratings are low. I'll bet he's a Rafael "Fight Freak".

I don't have to convince anyone. The ratings tell the story. As well as the lawsuit THAT YOU PREDICTED AND DEBATED WITH ME WOULD GET THROWN OUT OF COURT. But oh yeah you were wrong about that too. PBC terrible tv ratings and lawsuits but according to you that's a success and great for boxing.

I don't need to be told anything I watch tons of boxing and when I am on boxing websites with other die hard boxing fans and nobody knows who these opponents are that's all I need to know the fight sucks and it's a mismatch. But it's funny seeing you haymon dyck riders try to convince people that they should be watching these mismatches hoping for that blind squirrel finding a nut. Luckily fans are not buying and it's why the PBC TV ratings are tanking.

Ray is almost as bad a commentator as he was as good a fighter. Does that make sense? Boom Boom isn't much better. Marv was great back in the day I think he is just getting old.

no decision has been set so NO im not wrong.

And last i checked the lawsuits have yet to prevent the fights so im happy But i cans see you are preparing to put on that coveted NSB lawyer hat now and thats to bad. Your NSB accountant hat is better and almost as good as your NSB TV executive hat.
