Comments Thread For: Top Rank, ESPN Announce Multi-Year Exclusive Deal

[bonefide]

agreed, great news for Boxing . im thrilled

As Expected! That is great new for the sport of boxing IN GENERAL! The more boxing the better for ALL PROMOTIONS no just Arum. Same thing I said about PBC, that with them on Network TV that opened the door to this no matter how much people will try to deny it. Could also be why Arum is open to making Loma vs Rigo now, ESPN probably made the call for this one!

ESPN paying money so I'm assuming they will do better with the Coverage and make Boxing more of a Priority and not treat it like a Side Baby!

Based on all the exclusives Fox Sports received leading up to this Mayweather vs McGregor fight, I think PBC and a deal with Fox/FS1 is likely NEXT! So no BOXING IS NOT DEAD I think coming back to Network TV and Basic Cable will pump life back into it with Casuals!

So cheers to all of Boxing

Get ready for mismatch after mismatch afer mismatch....

Bad move for Bob only because Espn is trending down lol He must not know or heard about Espn having that massive layoff! But otherwise I'll watch boxing for free that's good.

Good deal. Matchmaking is key here. TR has to make fights across the landscape. No real issues otherwise. Good for the sport. GBP needs to get in the mix too.

After watching FS1 for the first time this week (I usually don't watch any FOX channels), I've been impressed with their PBC pub. Seems like they're heading towards something with the Haymon stable.

I noticed they were promoting PBC cards almost as much as their UFC content. Thought that was interesting.

Sounds positive for boxing...which is a plus for us

[Rudiamonds]

THank you al Haymon for changing the game if it wasn't for you there would have been no boxing on hbo

[al-Xander]

I could see ESPN gaining experience in making good television production almost HBO quality that fans can no longer discern any difference.

[BWC]

PBC and Fox seem to be heading to a deal. All around good things are happening in this sport for once..
