    I'd pay up to $10 for just a boxing channel. Showtime and HBO offer many shows I watch so it's worth the extra $ every month.
    hbo gets lucky with all the foreign born fighters who dont know any better,thats why they have kovalve,canelo and ggg

    but lets be honest,with all these russians that haymon is signing and other foreign fighters they will start going to him sooner or later

    bob arum is on his last leg after pac and golden boy is completely finished

      HBO doesn't get lucky, they just know how to build a fighter up. Even Berto was mad hyped by them to the point people thought he was the goods. PBC just doesn't have that skill yet...

      I'm hoping Haymon and HBO do business starting next year and we don't have to worry about all the BS anymore. Hearing John David Jackson saying he thinks Kovalev-Stwvenson happens in June is a big step in that direction.

        And If I'm to add BT Sports that would be £20 so to add another boxing channel no thanks there is too many channels, If we're to keep adding the average monthly bill of some would be well over £100 crazy.
        What boxing channel is the one that allows you to watch the American fights sky?

          I would consider paying for a boxing only channel, but not one that is exclusively PBC.

            That's what I'm saying. You can't build a star from a fighter who fights only twice a year.

              You can if you market him right. PBC is just all over the place right now. Too many networks, different time, bad match making etc...they honestly could use a Richard Scheafer to run things.

                of course not now,PBC doesnt have the talent for it

                i meant down the line when or should i say if haymons plan works and all the good talent goes to him and are now all under one bracket

                see, UFC has all the good talent but MMA is the actual "sport"

                so poeple dont care about "MMA" anymore, they care about UFC

                  It depends what they come with then - like if in addition to offering everything PBC, they would also acquire the rights to show select fights that wouldn't ordinarily get on TV then that would be key for me.

                    This channel would include the following ;

                    -live PBC fights (non-ppv) (dedicated days/times for all the different tiers of fights,ie championship fights on one night,prospect fights on another,contender fights,etc.)

                    -constant loops of boxing related videos,promos, news and info about fighters and fight times (when there are no live fights to be aired)

                    -replays of prior fights across the board (when there are no live fights to be aired)

                    -minimal ads (except for the Life-Alert ads,those are hilarious) since they make money from our sub anyway

                    keep in mind this is assuming haymon has cornered the market in a few years and all the decent to great fighters have joined him and his organization,also if the price is to steep for you keep in mind you no longer need to keep your showtime/hbo subs ($30+/mo) just for boxing,since PBC wont use either one

                    and lastly,would something like that even work in the first place?

                    cast your opininon ,
                    Probably not. I don't subscribe to either HBO or showtime. I'll catch the fight via YouTube.

                      Yea god forbid if all the best fighters could be matched up to fight each other every month like in the UFC. Boy that would suck.
