Comments Thread For: Josesito Lopez vs. Miguel Cruz, Dirrell-Han - PBC on FOX, 4/28

Just giving them whatever to finish up the time buy.

So is PBC not getting the Fox deal when UFC leaves?

I doubt it they want the WWE.

[True That]

I hope Miguel Cruz wins.

Han is one of the most hard-luck dudes in the game. It'd be cool if he pulled off the upset.

I doubt it they want the WWE.

Hmmm. Where would that leave PBC?

Lopez vs Cruz is a nice fight. Lopez is a solid low level fringe contender/high level journeyman type guy & Cruz is a solid prospect. Looking forward to that one.

Dirrell sh^t is normal Dirrell sh^t these days. As a Michigan Boxing fanboy nothing is more disappointing to me then how f#cking bs the Dirrell brothers have become in recent years (& honestly as a huge Dre fan he's been done since 2010 & that Super Six tournament fight).

Lara vs Marrero ain't bad either. Not excited for it, but its competitive enough looking & certainly an above average 3rd billing fight.

I'd say its not a definite the UFC is leaving Fox. Thus far I think Fox is the only one for sure in play for UFC's services.

Or the rumors aren't very strong about other players thus far anyway & among the strongest of the weak rumors are ******ing platforms. And if its a ******ing platform I feel like the UFC can't go 100% into a ******ing platform format with their product so they'll likely have a broadcast + ******ing deal anyway which still makes Fox a likely retainer for their services.

Musical chairs

The UFC is on the market for a new deal, and there are rumors that FOX, like most other channels, is on the hunt for content.

If FOX gets the WWE deal as rumored, the UFC misses out on a home, and now you add NBCUniversal in the pool, looking for content, for the right price, with the other channels.

HBO, NBCUniversal (NBC/NBCSN/USA), Turner Sports (TNT/TruTV), the ******ing services, or a broadcaster looking to build their profile with the UFC.

With the last round deals basically locking most content for the next decade, the only big content franchises on the market would be the UFC and the PBC package.

It’s Showtime!

All the big names are on showtime already anyway.
