    PBC set until 2018... now what?

    So it was recently announced that PBC dates for FOX, NBC, Spike, ESPN, Bounce, FS1 are all in play until the end of 2017.

    Obviously Haymon owns Showtime dates.

    So let's guess how many threads there will be of PBC closing their doors in 2017 from ****** writers and trolls?

    I say 200 at least LOL.

    PBC going to keep building a monster that will only get bigger year after year.

    So sad it doesn't get the support of boxing fans. You got media mbers like Dan Rafael and Steve Kim who influence fans not to support PBC. I just don't see HBO or any other promoters doing anything special at the moment. So why all the hate on PBC?

        I don't give a crap about the success or failure of ANY promotion company, just give us good fights. If you can, please stay. If you can't, then GTFO.

          They're all Showtime dates now... all their free big time boxing on the channels they paid for is dwindling out.
          Those are good fights on Showtime... those channels he had are gone. Soon it'll be restricted to Showtime budgets.

            pretty depressing all the idiots celebrating that pbc is here to stay. Do you guys want the sport to completely die or something, cause thats what PBC is, is a tumour thats sucking all the life and energy out of the sport

              Without PBC all there is crappy HBO. That'd really be sad.

                The only sport where more exposure is a bad thing to the fans and writers.

                  Whether you like PBC or not it's free boxing on TV at the end of the day. Like I always say fans need to lower their expectations and appreciate the randomness of the fights. Stop expecting the winner of a certain fight, for example, to see him often or fight another winner in another fight. It doesn't work that way. Or else you will get disappointed. You may never see him in another year or fight a fighter you won't recognize. In my case, I just root for the underdog and look for upsets. It rarely happens but when it does, it's fun to watch.

                    Hold HBO and others to the same standards you hold PBC...that would actually help.
