He might get a small fee from FS1 as well.
CBS is virtually a lock at the right price point.
I'd say 2018 will likely give us a better timeframe to judge how BIG this will be.

To me it seems like PBC is doing a bit of a reload with all this Showtime stuff. There were Showtime "PBC" fights imo (unofficially & without PBC branding obviously) going on the whole duration of PBC & it seems like they are doing that now as well on a larger level to garner some extra funds for the PBC war chest. There still seems to be a lot of TV time on deck til the end of 2016 in some cases so they got plenty of time to rebuild or get a big deal with one of these networks.

I could easily see PBC get more investors if this Waddell thing sinks with their issues or this war chest get emptied so as always PBC isn't on the way to the graveyard now or in the past dozen or so times people have claimed it deceased.

The reality as I've understood it since around summer of last year when more PBC info came out is that these "time buys" are more partnerships where PBC is paying the network & the network is putting up some amount towards the broadcasting of these shows as well. PBC isn't a infomercial. PBC doesn't have a UFC/Fox type deal either.Last edited by Eff Pandas; 02-07-2016, 03:28 PM.

Originally posted by Eff Pandas View PostYou aren't right, but you aren't wrong either (at least with Spike & Bounce, idk all the details with Showtime but clearly there is a PBC/Showtime partnership if not a contract in place that more soundly defines that partnership). There is no standard deal where PBC is getting $50M per year to throw fights on any of these networks, nor is there a direct time buy situation going on.

A NY investment fraud Atty compiling claims against Waddell & Reed told me the @premierboxing losses are part of potential class action suit

Little old people be happy to know their 401k's were investing into Jermall Charlo's strip club spree.
Ever since fhe guy that put this deal together left Waddell for PBC it was obvious to me something wrong wss brewing.
Nothing about this business plan made any sense.
They don't even bother to hire someone to be the face of the company.
They never wanted this thing to succeed, they just wanted to spend it all as quick as possible.

I'm not even sure what you are suggesting by saying Haymon has deals, outside of PBC it sounds like, with these networks or how that does or doesn't work with this PBC product Haymon is helming.
