****... sucks for canadians, we can't get ESPN, neither can we get sHowtime. Only fights we can get now are HBO, PPV and CBS/NBC/Spike which never has any fights anymore

Read the Rafael link...will air in French/English on TSN and RDS in Canada.

ESPN has more championship fights scheduled than HBO

ESPN will televise 16 fights in the first year

Make that a minimum

I don't get it. What's different from the deal they signed with ESPN before the pacquiao fight, and this deal?

the pac, loma, crawford fights were basically done on a handshake while they worked out a 75 page contract agreement for these 4 yrs

More content, feature stories, many platforms to distribute boxing on ESPN. DuBoef says there's an underserved audience to maximize.

How does this effect haymon espn and other channels free fights? Haymon has fighters rotting on the vines too many each weight

Arum had stuff to say when Haymon was doing this. Now we see Haymon opened some eyes

Opened eyes? Lol. I never has problem with pbc and i watch every card i can. But arum was on espn from 1980-94 or something close to that haha. I mean are you saying since arum and haymon has or have issues that you dont like this 4 yr deal for boxing to be shown regularly on espn? I sure hope not
