    How many high-level "ELITE" fights have been broadcast on PBC so far?

    And this does NOT INCLUDE Showtime Championship Boxing since they are not affiliated with the PBC brand.

    To my recollection the biggest fight aired on a PBC broadcast was Santa Cruz vs Mares. Maybe Broner vs Porter, or was that on Showtime? I forget.

    You should include Showtime because it's basically all under the same umbrella and on the PBC website their starting to advertise showtime fights. Off the top of my head Ahowtime /PBC has put on these good match ups.

    Garcia /Peterson
    Mares /LSC
    Dirrel / Degeale
    Dirrel / Jack
    Garcia / Guerrero
    Porter / Broner
    Thurman / Guerrero
    Kono / Kameda
    Lee/ Quillen
    Kameda /Macdonell
    Showtime
    Jacobs / Quillen
    Quigg / Frampton

      To add to that Huck vs. Glowacki. It's about as much as HBO has put out recently. Funny gearing anyone complain about PBC when the quality is just as bad if not worse on the network that could he considered the home of US boxing broadcasting.

        Nope, PBC and Showtime Championship Boxing are entirely different networks. They don't promote PBC fights on Showtime and vice versa, because neither are affiliated with each other. Showtime is owned by CBS, and PBC primarily airs on NBC, which Showtime has no affiliation with. Showtime boxing is simply that, Showtime boxing.

          PBC is not a network. And Showtime is one of the networks they use. For instance, both Showtime shows yesterday were PBC events. Just because they don't have to pay for production or roll out their ads everywhere doesn't make it any less so. Just check their website and you'll see.

            does it look like showtime championship boxing isn't affiliated with PBC?

              PBC had 3 of the 5 nominations for Fight of the Year last year from the BWAA. That's all that really matters IMO.

                Whats your definition of an "elite fight"?

                Its all debatable based on that definition despite you including or not including unofficial PBC fights on Showtime.

                The one thing I know regardless of definition is PBC is putting on more "HBO caliber" fights than anyone besides HBO. Which is a hell of a feat & unheard of in boxing at almost the one year mark of PBC being around.

                  Wow, you guys really want PBC to fail don't you?

                  Pretty much every elite fight of the last couple of years have involved Al Haymon managed fighters period. The only exception was Cotto-Canelo and Fury-Klitschko. And I would mention Golovkin, however we're talking about "elite" fights so he's not included as he doesn't have any.

                    ELITE fights are for pay per views, not regular tv
