[j0zef]

To be clear: PBC cards will continue on ESPN this year with the new Golden Boy #boxing series being on ESPN2. More fights!

And

Fights we'd like to see on 'Golden Boy Boxing on ESPN'

So, boxing fans are cool with time buys now?

Interesting. Guess it depends on who's cutting the check.

Where is your evidence of this?

Go read the press release when PBC signed the deal with ESPN. That's the evidence was supposed to be a monthly series that was replacing FNF. Instead last year they only aired fights in 3 of the 12 months and now they go and sign a deal with a promoter who can actually give them a monthly boxing series with 24 shows a year. Last year the man who brokered the deal with ESPN gets fired and Haymon kept delaying and pushing back the 2016 debut of PBC on ESPN and when it came back could only commit to 6 fights in the summer. If ESPN was happy with PBC they would just get these fights from them. When the remaining time buys up you won't see PBC anymore on ESPN

ESPN dropped FNF because the ratings were dropping each year.

This is a lie.
