Comments Thread For: CBS to Air Garcia-Thurman; Announcement at Press Conference

[Lester Tutor]

The last thing we need is for non boxing fans to see two clowns like rios and Ortiz on prime time. Let's have two good prospects fight it out on the undercard instead

surely you agree though that many of those non boxing fans could be a percentage for the ones that love UFC, which in that case, Rios and Ortiz' skill level would be irrelevant to watching how some UFC bouts focus on hand striking. Also, if it's a good grudge match, one would expect many of those newcomers to add on Rios Ortiz search metrics and find many things about them on Youtube. It's a win win situation.

But I understand your point, pure and fresh sweet science is ideally more beneficial for the avid pugilist watcher.

thats very true mma attracts fans that love people just slugging it out like a bar fight
thats what mma is all about no skill

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.

As a PBC fan, I find it amazingly ****** that they havent removed a few of the fights from Broner's undercard to the Robert Easter show. Why have so many of those fights non televised when the TV space is clearly there on the 10th (according to this poster anyway). I want to see Peterson, Charlo, and Browne's fights.

I see what you mean but none of those other guys will help sell tickets. Rau'shee Warren is on the Easter card. Jermell Charlo probably isn't on that card anymore. So that would make it 4 fights which will all probably air. Marcus Browne - Thomas Williams Jr (10 round fight might not go the distance) could have been on the other card.

[Cheek busting]

A week earlier HBO is doing a Cotto vs Kirkland ppv. Real boxing fans know PBC is better.

Real boxing fans don't care - we just wanna see the best fights.

This is one of them; another one was Walters/Loma and Ward/Kovalev, both shown by HBO, and HBO PPV. Or CBS/Showtime putting on Thurman/Porter.

Russell-Escandon will be moved to March 11, in DC, where Gary came from. makes more venue sense.

Great news PBC! Shutting the game down. These same clowns who claim to like boxing don't want this to succeed. Haymon shining on this haters haha. Can't wait for this fight.
