Not any compelling boxing action to speak of, I swear sometimes I wonder if PBC is a kind of weird social expirement to see how many average boxing fans they can turn off to the sport. They've already succeeded in alienating the hardcore fanbase, thats 2 nails in the coffin. Corporate and sponsors appear to be dissalusioned, I guess the final nail will be the networks, I hear ESPN wont bring the pbc back, hopefully this dies a quick death and not some long, slow, dragged out disintegration on life support.

Your clearly a bowling fan. Your not a boxing fan that's for sure!! This is a boxing website FYI Maybe you thought you were clicking on the PBA by mistake. Professional Bowlers Association is similar to PBC so I can see how you mixed that up.

Your Welcome.

pbc is not consistent, but they gave us thurman-porter and frampton-cruz.

As far as I know, the espn deal wont be brought back, so they just dump below average fights on the channel.

In addition a little breakdown, keep in mind its not a list about how exciting the fights itself were, but rather how good they were perceived beforehand.

Great matchups:
Keith Thurman Vs Shawn Porter
Leo Santa Cruz Vs Carl Frampton

Good matchups:
Jermall Charlo Vs Julian Williams
Jermall Charlo Vs Austin Trout

Decent Fights:
Krystof Glowacki Vs Steve Cunningham
Felix Diaz Vs Sammy Vazquez Jr.
Robert Easter Jr. Vs Richard Commey
Errol Spence Jr. Vs Chris Algieri
Erislandy Lara Vs Vanes Martirosyan II

OK matchups:
Ruslan Providnokiv Vs John Molina Jr. (exciting on paper, but molina lost 3 of his 4 last fights)
James DeGale Vs Rogelio Medina
Danny Garcia Vs Robert Guerrero
Badou Jack Vs Lucian Bute
Deontay Wilder Vs Artur Szpillka
Jose Pedreza Vs Stephen Smith
Rances Barthelemy Vs Mickey Bey
Sammy Vazquez Vs Aaron Martinez
Demetrius Andrade Vs Willie Nelson
Jermell Charlo Vs John Jackson
Hugo Centeno Jr. Vs Maciej Sulecki
Andre Berto Vs Victor Ortiz II (Way too late)
Tony Harrison Vs Sergey Rabchenko
Paul Malignaggi Vs Garbriel Bracero

Poor Matchups:
Sergiy Derevyanchenko Vs Sam Soliman
Andre Dirrell Vs Blake Caparello
Andrej Fonfara Vs Joe Smith (before the upset, it was considered a weak mainevent)
Gary Russell Jr. Vs Patrick Hyland
Deontay Wilder Vs Chris Arreola
Adonis Stevenson Vs Thomas Williams Jr.
Daniel Jacobs Vs Sergio Mora II
Robert Guerrero Vs David Emanuel Peralta
Julian Williams Vs Marcello Matano
Errol Spence Jr. Vs Leonard Bundu

There's been even more good Pbc fights you didn't list like Huck Glowacki, Fonfara Cleverly, Rodriguez Seals and Williams. Problem is, these are no names and nobody's watching. As a boxing fan it's great but it's unsustainable, and if it goes bust I just hope were not worse off than where we started. Hbo and Sho esp are seeing diminishing returns, it's not good for boxing if they were to back away

[Bronx2245]

Keep 'em coming! More Errol Spence, more Ericksson Lubin, more Jarrett Hurd, more Tony Harrison! where's Zlaticinanin? Where's Gary Russell Jr.? Where's Danny Garcia? Where's Beterbiev? Let's keep this train movin'!!! BRING BACK WHITE TYSON!!!

Exactly. 38 fights, and 2 of them are in the great category. 2 out of 38. In what universe is that offering an acceptable product?

Don't listen to the trolls, you are just speaking the truth shoog. I have also wondered if PBC isn't something weird. I read that Al Haymon's brother I think got a bad deal with boxing... I've always wondered if Haymon feels like he has enough money, and he decided to just start a charity for boxers to make up for what happened to his brother in boxing. As in, he doesn't care about good fights, or even making money, maybe he just cares about funneling money from investors to boxers as a charity program, a "redistribute the wealth" program, for boxers. You could say Haymon is the Barack ***** of boxing.

Of course, Haymon keeps getting his cut of the $$$, so it seems like it is about money, too. Like I said, the Barack ***** of boxing Let's just be real.

PBC is spending investor money to televise this stuff.

They have accomplished nothing. What is the point of these fights?

They were suppose to be able to televise these fighters and bring them back to Showtime and get even bigger ratings.

The opposite has happened. Showtimes ratings have plummeted.

Apparently having fghters fight on 10 different channels, at different times, and different days, is bad for their brand! Who Would of thought?

PBC's business plan is completely amateurish.
