PBC has deals with Showtime and Spike?

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

It's cable and they pay seven figures to Haymon... not bad. Not bad at all

cool cool.

wasn't the DSG-Ghost fight on fox?

I don't believe Fox paid for it though. But if they do get a licensing agreement with them along with Showtime & Spike, it's a wrap. Looks like it already is -- for the "boxing fans" who thought it would fail and just couldn't see anything but negative about it, even though the negative was just BS.

Yeah but it is assumed that Haymon bought the air time on Fox rather than receiving money like he does for Showtime and Spike.

I think it's great.... sometimes I get tired of paying subs for half ass fights that come only like once a month.... damn that sounds pretty bad haha

You mean you don't love paying for HBO to see the 25-1 odds fights (Pascal-Kovalev 2), the 35-1 odds fights (Crawford-Lundy), and the 50-1 odds fights (GGG-Whats his name)?

CBS & Bounce should be easy for PBC to get on board by 2018.

Already knew this! I would say the Investment for SPIKE was well worth it, they had a Excellent year of fights on their Networks

Spike TV paid Premier up to seven figures in licensing fees for each of the two cards, which featured main-event victories by welterweights Andre Berto in March and Amir Khan in May.

Kevin Kay, Spike TV president, said he was pleased with the first year of Premier shows because three action-packed bouts were picked among the top 10 fights of the year.

Overall, Premier averaged about 500,000 viewers for its eight Spike TV boxing shows, significantly less than the Bellator MMA cards, which drew an average of 840,000 viewers.

"We're working on the 2016 schedule now. We had some blips going head to head with college football, so the discussion is figuring out what to steer clear of," Kay said. "We're bringing the younger MMA audience to boxing. We want to make sure we have the best opportunity to succeed."

So an article written by latimes which is KILLING PBC and pointing all the ways it's failing and even shows you how the viewers ship for PBC is basically half what they draw for Bellator but because a vague comment that they paid a license fee up to seven figures is a great thing? Let's say they pay 1mil per fight to PBC. Those shows on Spike particular Berto and Khan cost
Berto $800k, Lopez $450k, Porter $500k, Bone $150k, Arreola $20k, Harper $22,500

Khan $1.5m, Algeri $500K don't know what the undercard that night was paid

These fights STILL lost money. You guys are hilarious an article killing PBC and saying how their business model makes no sense and still you find a way to spin crap into gold. Getting paid 1mil or less and then paying your fighters 2+mil and that's not even counting the countless million they threw away promoting this fight or production costs outside of the purses and in this same article points out they have made squat in ticket sales or commercial advertisement. These spike fights lost money for PBC just compared to FOX and other networks not as bad. I guess we grading on a curve for success around here.
