      I did. If the fight did well, which hit did, then i saw this. FOX is very sports forward and also have FS1 which carry the toe-to-toe. But it isnt signed yet and still far away

        Yep. Either way if licensing agmt is true...well, well, well. Exclusive rights seems like it could be a hold-up but who knows. I can't imagine CBS wouldn't bid.

          @sexyboxer2010 PBC would be exclusive to Fox. No idea about fighters. Also, tho talks confirmed, may be PBC started. Fox may not be serious.

            It reads like Boxingleaks is only confirming the talks, not a deal.

            Boxingleaks doesn't say who initiated talks...suggests it may have been PBC.

              Yeah i saw that but the talks have started regardless of who initiated them. FOX is listening and thats a good thing for the sport.

              Like i said a long way to go still. In the mean time im enjoying the fights

                hopefully it goes through pbc is failing hard and people are jumping ship. In order to secure a fox deal looks like fox is looking for exclusive right that will cut showtime out completely and doubt showtime doesnt have options on PBC boxing hence why wilder, adonis etc etc are showtime from time to time, so be intresting how this all plays out but ehhh what do I know.

                  I agree, that the talks are confirmed is a good thing for the sport.

                  Will be really interesting to see where this goes.

                  @sexyboxer2010 Showtime hoping PBC fails. They got no idea what fighter is coming and going over there. Fox deal would keep it complicated.

                    Well I'm not excited for a deal until there's a deal. And as a wise old vet, I ignore the dumb **** like "PBC initiated talks." Duh -- I mean of course they did. People are so silly sometimes.

                      Seems too early to do a Network deal right now would be better off waiting until the current bought time contracts are up. I do think they will get a Network deal but I think a Package deal like the way the NFL, NHL and NBA has with multiple Networks would be better! He has a huge Roster so multiple Networks are needed not just 1! Seems like being on only 1 Network will limit things
