    The quality of the fighters who are headlining fights on NBC this year as compared to last year has dropped big time. Last year it was Haymon's big name guys like Thurman, Danny Garcia, Broner, Porter, Wilder, ect. Now Fonfara probably in a stay busy/mismatch. Money getting low can't afford the headline acts they had last year.
    Danny on Fox in January, Thurman vs Porter is CBS.

        The PBC launch has had collateral damage killing the Showtime boxing brand in the process. The ratings are more disturbing then PBC because Showtime was an established powerhouse in boxing prior and now their ratings are down over 50% in just one year. The cards the last few weeks are ShoBox type ratings about 1/4th what they got a year and a half ago.

        But Haymon doesn't care if the ratings flop on Showtime as long as the checks clear for his fighters. But if ratings flop on PBC that effects him because he and his backers are paying those fight checks and checks to the networks.

          None of those are NBC! And CBS comes with an asterisk it will be produced by Showtime not PBC. And for FOX's second card they are featuring washed up Ortiz and Berto. Big drop off in star power from Danny and Guerrero. Ortiz vs Berto would of been on one of the secondary PBC channels like Spike last year not FOX.

                It's weird you guys across the pond put so much stock in what network a fight is broadcast on.

                So much so that one of you refuses to watch a fight if it was on a certain channel

                    Network fanboys. They suck but they live for it.

                    Boxing tonight? Hell yeah, but first what channel it on? That decides whether i can watch

                      I got no problem with Fonfara but him being the main event on a NBC card seems like a stretch
