Wow what a lineup!

and what a way to kick it off with Beterbiev headling

[DeadLikeMe]

Damn, that's a lot of dates. Now they don't have to go against football or basketball either.

[MC Hammer]

Glad they're doing a "boxing season" style model instead of going against college football, and NFL games like last year. Nothing really goes on in the summer sports wise so this may have been the plan after last year.

"Wow what a lineup!"?

Aside from the first card, we don't even know who's fighting yet. Hope its not a repeat of last year when we got more quantity over quality.

Not bad. I wouldn't mind more dates but this is a good sign nonetheless

[The Big Dunn]

This could be real good. I'm just happy there will be regular boxing on TV.

If we get cards that turn out like berto/ortiz 2 that would be great. Here's hoping all the so called "boxing" fans on NSB tune in and watch.

[Boxfan83]

I just hope the bigger named fighters in PBC fight more often. Lets hope we get some big names headlining with decent up and comers on the undercards.

OK so according to ESPN they will have less shows then PBC promised last year, it also won't be a monthly series like they said, and now it will only have shows from June to Aug that's it? And all those sat night shows are cut moving these fights to Friday night with the exception of 3 sat night shows total the entire year. There will be no ABC cards. And they are debuting with Beterbiev in a mismatch. Based on this info don't expect the haymon big names like Thurman, Garcia, ect to be fighting on ESPN like last year. It's going to be haymon prospects and B and C class fighters.

Literally everything from the original press release of ESPN replacing FNF with PBC has been sc****d.

They canceled FNF so they can go 8 months without boxing? and when they do come back it will be for only 3 months of 2016.

FNF was a crapoy product that delivered an average of 300k viewers in the last season. Why you crying?
