[Xi_]

Cant wait......garcia gonna stomp a mud hole in run time.

I think this is great news. Now lets hope they promote it properly and it does great numbers.

If Danny wins big and this fight draws 8+ mil viewers I would bet Floyd would come back for a Danny fight.

If Thurman wins, I can see him and Spence in a unification fight IF Spence wins the IBF belt.

Man, I hope they put on a good semi main event.

In the building!! One Time vs Swift

And just last night we were talking about how imperative it would be for CBS primetime. Good stuff, so, industry, PLEASE put Rios vs Ortiz on the undercard!! It's imperative. As long as Ortiz and Rios are notified that it's on CBS primetime, they'll sacrifice any down cut! Cmon man!!

That fight is made for Southern California and will have it's own date and may even Main Event due to the bad blood between the 2. Erickson Lubin - Jorge Cota will be the co-feature to this. Don't expect them to stack this card because they have to pay both those guys a lot just to unify, and then there is the insurance premiums that went up.

These PBC fighters are keeping busy this year

Right as college basketball is around their conference tournaments and to kick off before March Madness. Great timing and scheduling.

I know that Gary Russell Jr.'s fight was moved from February, so maybe that's why. I hope not, because that's not big enough! Would be a great time for Hurd vs. Harrison!

8M viewers? It'll be a success if the fight breaks 4M.
