    Some good dates, hopefully we get some big fights

    Would like to see more of the younger up and coming prospects Mainevents like Spence Jr did recently. Sammy Vazquez, Erikson Lubin, Mario Barrios, Jonathan Guzman PBC have a ton of young Super Talents that are ready to Headline and step up and fight for titles

      Come on man. This is so pitiful as a PBC diss. Predetermined outcomes is boxings way. I mean Canelo just had a PPV fight as a -500 favorite. A mere -500 favorite fight is some PPV **** in 2016. GGG just fought as a -10000 favorite. Believe Gonazales was a -3750 favorite. Crawford was like a -1200 favorite. Kovalev is fighting his next opponent in July as a -6000 favorite last I saw. These are the "home of boxing" fights. And this ain't nothing new. For HBO or anyone else. Its been going on cuz boxing is a circus with this sorta subpar matchmaking that just wants to constantly build names & do little fighting between those names with maximum marination.

        People complaining about not having the old FNF series are the same people who didn't know who Willie Monroe Jr was when they announced he was fighting GGG. But we're supposed to believe you watched FNF?

          Exactly... ******ity abounds with no boundaries here.

          FNF was garbage. Girls talking about their 50k budget is embarrassing. No sense... like it was a good thing. For who?

                Whether or not this is good for boxing will only be determined by the caliber of the fights, and going by Haymons track record with the pbc we should be expecting more "who?!" ,"what?!", "why?!" , "not more of this crap" coming at us.

                  Name some HBO upsets. It's been a long time. Edwin Rodriguez was 3 to 1 favorite when Thomas Williams Jr knocked him out on PBC you fool.

                      Tommorow 4 undefeated Haymon cruiserweights will fight in 2 fights. When was the last time your HBO did that?
