Comments Thread For: Arum Explains Why Ditching HBO For ESPN Was The Right Move

[p4ptbe]

so who's actually going to be shown on hbo boxing now that top rank isn't with them anymore? Just ward, kovalev, ggg & canelo?

the smaller weight classes! Like cuadras, chocolatito, muira! Or maybe light heavyweights like joe smith or barrera and mid level guys

[Teetotaler]

manny vs horny, loma vs marriaga is killing boxing not saving pac"t.urd"

Arums first fight with espn did better ratings than any of haymons mismatches

snakey ***s like arum bash blacks and their accomplishments! These these same greedy snakes like arum copy the same blueprint and call it the best thing since slice bread! This is the *** snake blueprint and always will be!

Lol. Arum was the kid the Italians, Blacks, and Irish would pick on during recess. He and Koncz said, "hey let's flip a coin on which one to discredit!" Bob be like, "when I was kid, I loved the circus! Once a clown touched me!"

arum's tv deal with espn is already more successful than pbc. Haymon had the chance to bring back boxing to the masses via free tv but failed miserably through crappy match ups, multiple network deals (should've done one, like ufc and arum) and inactive fighters.

you must be sucking arums c.ock as you typed that ******ed comment....

LMAO. Arum's an idiot. His whole justification and acknowledgement for branding success off premium channels is the concept of PBC on mainstream as well, to help promote a brand as he says "UFC" or boxing on Fox....

Way to go Bobdilla. Seems like you and Haymon are hitting it off well now!

the tards on PBC:

Haymon suxx, he will be broke soon, PBC is doomed

the tards on Top Rank:

yay, Bob saved boxing

[p4ptbe]

good deal. Im happy with anybody that puts on boxing events. Hopefully he pulls it of on espn. I believe the problem pbc has (other than a lot of bs fights with ppl i didnt want) is it should have had a few big cards on regular fox and the rest on espn. Instead of putting cards on 15 diferent channels. And maybe used same broadcasters we could get used to. And not that joe rogan wannabe mfr. I do dig bryan kinney a lot and wards trainer and also dig atlas and tessitore. Either way i hope they all come out strong for the selfishness of myself and the sport of boxing

pbc just put on a really good card on fox last night and also wilders last card on fox was full of action packed fights!

now watch all those racist scumbags like steve kimchi and dan rafael call this deal the best thing for boxing! Meanwhile pbc on fox and showtime and cbs is a bad thing somehow.....

spence himself did 6 million dumb lying pac"turd"! Danny vs thuman did 5 million plus also! Thurman vs porter did 4 million plus also! Wilder washignton did almost 3 million also lying bum hahahaha! Try better lies! You dirty politician lovers need better lies!

[p4ptbe]

the matchups were terrible. All you care about is knockouts? Werent the pbc fans the ones complaining about fans only wanting to see knockouts and people not appreciating slick boxing now they are content with knockouts even if the matchups are complete sh-it.

ufc puts on 10 times worse matchups! I dont know what world you live in...

[Scipio2009]

So now the plan is to leverage the exposure on ESPN, to build to Top Rank Boxing PPVs.

Good luck with that, I guess.
