Comments Thread For: Spike's TV Deal With Premier Boxing Champions Has Ended

[boxingitis]

I want to thank Al Haymon for The mismatches. Put fights on one channel at the same time and most importantly, no mismatches. Too many Networks, too much irregularities on schedule. Friday night fights for the new talent and Saturdays for the top boxers.

The writing was on the wall the ratings are not good and haymon refuses to give them good fights. Haymon is sending all his best fights back to showtime and the network or cable PBC fight dates are few and far between because PBC can't pay for these fights anymore. The NBC deal according to Rafael is done and ESPN still owes a few time buy dates to haymon but they are basically done as well that why they made the golden boy deal. You basically left with PBC on FS1.

Good keep it on cbs or nbc exclusively

**** no. Let MismatchBC end for good. Free the few top fighters on the roster from the JV team so they can integrate back into Varsity boxing where Lomachenko, Kovalev, GGG, Ward, Crawford, Canelo, and Valdez fight. The top 10 P4P fighters are almost all on HBO besides maybe Mikey Garcia soon, and possibly Errol Spence but he's really a weight bully fighting at 147 when he admitted he weighs 180 normally. If the other fighters want to be relevant, they need to get in that mix with the top guys, and get out from the Junior Varsity Champions aka PBC umbrella.

Jason Shaw is on suicide watch

Just wait till the report from NBC and ESPN next. Both are effectively done with PBC. Jason Shaw needs to stay away from sharp objects right now. LMAO

I never understood why pbc tried so many networks.
They should have stuck with one network, once a week or two weeks, same time.
Hopefully they get that now and do it with fox sports.

Same channel, same time, every week.

This.


Remember when it first started it was all over the place its like I made the schedule drunk as hell.

Didnt they just show the bottom of the barrel PBC fights? Presume this is why Stevenson had to switch from Monaghan to Fonfara

Tough

Tough for the PBC Brand. Spike would have been a solid partner but the matches simply fell off.

It's unfortunate but hopefully Al Haymon realizes that once he's able dwindle down to 3 networks he will be able to focus his resources on those and hopefully make a profit.

Showtime, CBS, FS1, and throw in Bounce and those would be good to do business with.

[Jubei]

Damn PBC is going down.

[bigdunny1]

Where's all the clowns who swore PBC was doing well?

Boxing will never ever again have a chance to break through into mainstream again, not like the chance Haymon just wasted.

They were never doing well their fans used the excuse that they haven't folded yet as a sign of success. No they haven't folded because they shut down for months last year and punted all their time buys to 2017. So some of these networks owe a few more dates but haymon isn't even trying to use the dates. NBC hasn't aired a PBC fight in forever and ESPN was announced as a monthly series but has had an hiatus of over 6 months TWICE. CBS had a afternoon series that they sc****d after year 1 and only aired 1 fight last year and 1 this year with NOTHING schedule the rest of the year. Money was lost and they couldn't afford to air fights these network deals are dead none of them are buying PBC and it's just semantics at this point the moment haymon uses his last few time buy dates he already paid for they are officially closing up shop to PBC.

Jason Shaw probably saw the headline aand is currently having a nervous breakdown may start posting messages like AB when he threatens to kill himself.
