Huge move for Golden Boy. It was clear ESPN was going to be cutting ties with PBC and now Golden Boy is grabbing the TV deal. PBC only has a few more fights they are owed as part of their time buy the person who made the deal to bring PBC to ESPN has been fired. It's been a long time since Haymon sent them any relevant fights because he knows the writing is on the wall and they will not pay for PBC.
Golden Boy already have R!ngTV live so they have their production team, they know how to put on these shows. Prior to R!ngTV they had Golden Boy on FS1 which draws the SAME ratings as PBC on FS1 but at a fraction of the cost. This is basically bring back Friday Night Fights on ESPN2 which went away when Haymon bought the airtime for PBC.

This deal with GB is basically the same deal PBC has just on ESPN2. PBC is on ESPN. It's a time buy also.

I see the PBC being mentioned a lot. But i think this hurts Top Rank more. Top Rank also has a lot of good prospects that want tv dates and aren't getting as many as they would like. Bob should swallow his pride and make nice with oscar again and try to work out a deal to get some of his guys on these tv dates.
