    The more television networks showing world class boxing, the better!

    It's not just PBC, though; I see people always trying to say how HBO is going down, and how "PBC kicks their asses"!

    LOL - boxing fans shouldn't give two shyts about networks ASIDE FROM the fact that they are featuring world class boxing.

    Lol people literally becoming fans of networks like they'd become fans of fighters.

    I love HBO, Showtime, and PBC - they've all brought great fights over the past 2-3 years.
    paid shills and astroturfers, not fans. this forum is not immune.

    im lovin all the boxing, free and paid. the only bad part is when these cold wars get real. When it gets to the point that TRs best guy wont ever fight GBs best guy and GBs best guy wont fight any PBC guys, the rankings start to mean a lot less and thats not good in a sport where ranking can determine pay and prestige.

      Any evidence it's not a time buy? I hear Eric Gomez explaining it and he said it's not a time buy. The sponsors will pay for it....???

        This report is almost exactly a year old. Any idea if there's still some left?

          Ummm... that IS a time buy.

          ESPN isn't paying GBP. Tecate is paying for the airtime, production, and license fee for GBP.

          PBC could have worked out the same deal with Corona but what could they do with a $100k budget per show? That's nothing to build upon.

            That's exactly what I took from it. Don't know why Gomez was trying to make it seem like a time buy is a bad thing. Or maybe he didn't want to call it that because the lawsuit was still pending.

              They are simpletons just like the ******ed media and fans who do an incredibly great job of "acting" ******.

                    Yeah, pretty big update. PBC has over $120 million a year in guaranteed US rights fees now, the biggest budget in boxing.

                    Lotta people look foolish in this thread.

                      It's over. Haymon is just terrible as a business man, he messed up bad.
                      Oh really? Wonder why FOX and SHO are committing hundreds of millions of dollars to PBC even though it's dead. So strange.
