    Why DOESN'T HAYMON Approach NETFLIX PBC Co-OP!?

    tablets, cell phones, the ease, the demand, the convenience! of course there's much more content on Showtime and HBO, but NetFLIX has and is still growing at an incredible raate they should test the waters with combat sports.

    NetFlix reruns of PBC fights of the current back catalog should be enough. Haymon gotta be a gee like George Lucas and just own the rights to his art so he can do as he pleases

    of course there's a conflict of interest with CBS Sports and Showtime...

    still, NETFLIX is the way, it's brand name alone is better than ''AMAZON'' unless of course new rebranding for subsidiaries come about.

    NETFLIX has the marketing tools, better infrastructure, to build American stars!

    NETFLIX PPV for the world!!

        cause its ****** idea lol.

        then boxing will be a premium thing again, why would they alienate showtime? netflix hd and showtime cost the same monthly.

        Why not just go back to showtime?

          Netflix has more subscribers than showtime

            Why would Netflix pay millions for boxing cards when they can get movies and TV shows that will be far more popular?

            Netflix would be crazy to pay 1mil+ for Wilder-Stiverne 2 type fights.

              Why in the HELL would Netflex want to invest into Boxing? A sport where the fans are Fickle and a sport that is not very popular with a younger Demographic. Also WTF is Netflix going to do post the fight on Delay?

                To get into the door you don’t approach an infrastructure like Showtime or HBO, you provide a back catalogue, reruns, and occasionally a live event via online stream. You start small. It’s not television.

                Showtime has its steaming services and not all PBC fights were purchased hence Spike or Fox. If there’s not conflict of interest with Viacom (Spike) for CBS Sports (main PBC partner), then I don’t see why they would care that Harmon tests the waters with Netflix for a 1 year contract showing minimal boxing.

                If the stats are good, then Netflix would pursue bigger development or CBS Sports tells Haymon, we want to test some newer NASDAQ platforms like Netflix.

                Back catalogue reruns would be ideal. It costs money for CBS Sports or Fox to play rerun time unless it’s very late at night.

                  ESPN has the concept to show classic sports events, they always have. Don’t see why Netflix would be opposed.

                  Floyd should give Haymon the rights to sell his bouts on Netflix

                    lol that doesnt mean anything.

                    How many watch Netflix on Friday/Saturday
                    out of those
                    how many watch netflix afer 6pm
                    out of those
                    how many watch sports on netflix
                    out of those
                    how many even watched a boxing related show?

                    those numbers start to get slim very fast.

                    its called targeted marketing and believe me they will be looking at those numebrs if the thought of boxing on netflix ever came up and those numbers will be looked at then the idea will be gone just as fast.
