EXCLUSIVE: PBC is here to stay. More 2016 dates.

[New England]

An executive set the record state without putting his name on record for a writer I never heard of that lives in Ireland?

If there was ever a made up interview, this is it. An hour of conversation, and absolutely zero was revealed.

you just got told off by larryXXX not to race bait.

that's like being told by madea perry to stop acting gay....


think about that.

Who the fcuk is "Larry"???...you're acting gay pumping the kool aid for another man...smh...now you think about that???...

I think the interviewer should have given a name.

I think some of the points made are reasonable,but if its a "TV series" as the person said, then they should have put it on one channel and marketed it that way as several posters have said.

They could've hired Hirschman or another person who had experience putting boxing on TV. Then hire Schaffer or another promoter to do your marketing/promotion.

I am hoepful they can tun things around. IMO just reinvest in Tuesday night. Make that PBC night of the week. then maybe do 1 or 2 big cards a month on SHowtime.

Wasn't the biggest part of the appeal of the PBC that all, or most of the big fights would be on free-to-air television?

any boxing show is what I want & if PBC brings me free fights, i'm wit it!

-Think Boxing!

[Bullrider]

Nah...they'd just put it on ppv...

Fans will always find a way to see it regardless. Knowing that top fighter A has just added top fighter B in his resume is more important than seeing him on free tv beating a cab driver. It is more important than having to wonder for the rest of your life the outcome of such fight. It leaves a lasting legacy.

Yes and no. For me it was more important that it was on more regularly. I pay for cable, HBO and Showtime so I don't technically get any "free" boxing.

For some it was more fights on TV. Maybe they thought that meant more quality fights for the names they knew. I didn't think it meant that, especially when we are in the era where "stars" drive the sport rather than "boxing" driving the sport.

Maybe , just like Horse Racing (which also used to be huge in the US) maybe the best way to nring back interest is show less but make them all quality fights on paper and ride the wave once a star develops.

It seems like it was all a big waste of time and money to me, which is what I feared it would be at the beginning. The historical popularity of boxing in general rather than particular stars is always inflated by boxing fans on forums and suchlike. There always seem to be an attitude of lets get back to 19??, whenever they thought boxing was great and popular. I personally think the biggest explanation for the relative lack of popularity of boxing in the US is to do with race and ethnicity.
