    We get boxing on free TV so whats all the complaints about PBC

    I grew up in the 90s when boxing on tv was dyng out and you had to have showtime or hbo to see fights worth anything.


    We will never get to see all the fights we want to so.....POLITICS, NETWORKS, ETC so why are people on this forum trashing PBC

    go play in rush hour traffic. just because something's free doesn't mean its good, or that it should be celebrated. Are you on the Haymon Boxing payroll?

      The matchups between known fighters tend to be ****ty showcase fights.

          You're probably the same type of person that waits in line for an hour because they're giving away free juice and chips at an event.

            We get to see the NBA and NFL on Free TV too, only difference is we see the best play the best more times than not.

            I love Boxing being back on Network TV, but if we're not seeing the best fights made then it's a pointless venture.

              Before a brand can flourish, you have build your stars up and your brand


              its common sense


              Why are people acting oblivious to this


              If big names like Manny and Mayweather were not signed to HBO and Showtime then we could have fights like these on PBC and the ones you are referring to as the undercard


              The only household names in boxing are Mayweather, Cotto, and Pacquaio...all fighters at the end or retired


              We are in a changing of the guard time and no one even knows who these guys are besides hard core fans like us


              Some of the fighters could have had better opponents but patience is key when building a brand. Its only been a year and we are getting Porter vs Thurman on T.v which would have been on PPV

              Garcia vs Guerrero would have been on PPV


              A lot of the fights we will be getting for free going forward would've been on PPV and would have happened farther down the line

                Exactly! For the most part I'd rather watch tennis. At least I know that thru process of elimination the best often face the best.
