I was told last year they wouldn't make it thru the end of the year. Yet they're still putting on cards on Network TV, cable TV, and premium TV. How can they keep doing this if they're broke?

... as i remember, you were all expecting a "revolution" in the sport... which didn't happen -- ShowTime came on top, again...

They should switch the telecast around. Charlo-Lubin should be on Fox and Mares and Santa-Cruz vs bums on SHO.

We're seeing more boxing on TV (network, cable and premium cable), we've seen a reduction in PPV's. We've seen promoters move from premium cable to regular cable to broadcast fights. We've seen fights on Twitter and Facebook live. Five years ago would you have predicted this? The way boxing is delivered to us has been revolutionized with Haymon and PBC leading the way. Arum was not even thinking about moving away from HBO until he sued PBC and saw their financial plan and had them waive exclusivity so he could put his fights on cable tv.

don't exaggerate your hate feelings. many PBC enthusiasts acknowledged the benefits towards boxing. it's you haters out of left field that can't correlate a simple PBC stable and its infrastructure all under CBS Sports...

Pretty good card even without the fight, but it's disappointing they couldn't reach an agreement.

[Mammoth]

That's a good night of fights. I guess Jacobs didn't get an opponent for that date.

charlo-lubin is a really good fight.
