why has PBC been unsuccessful?

[bigjavi973]

The format of pbc has changed, it's basically just Showtime boxing now rather than what it was originally intended to be.

and what was it supposed to be according to you?

Is it that time for another PBC is failing thread?

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

I think they spread themselves too thin.

should have been alot more disciplined and patient and most importantly CONSISTENT!

now its great it 99% back on showtime (back to basically where they started), but when they were hopping from spike, to nbc, to cbs, to espn, to bounce tv, to showtime, to fox it was too crazy to keep up with, you had to actually fucking go out of your way to find it.

Should have strike a deal with 1 network to be on at the same time/day every-week.

what I would have done would have set it up like this.

Week 1) Saturday 7pm - good stacked card
Week 2) Saturday 7pm - good stacked card
Week 3) Saturday 7pm - In House Review Show, Preshow for for week 4 event, general PBC boxing talk with guest
Week 4) Saturday 7pm - REAL CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH! STACKED! Multiple main events.
Every 3 months this replaces week4) PPV - (to recoup $$$$ you are spending and pay the fighters that are worth more $$$)

This setup might have cost them a lil more per airing but would have saved them alot more as opposed to spreading themselves out everywhere and would have accomplished alot more as far as establishing their branding etc and they could have introduced their own belt here and it would have been accepted this way, now the boat has passed money dried up and they basically just a few steps ahead of the starting line when they could have been so far ahead no one could have catch up, now you got fighters leaving to join other promoters, fighters who site out for a year etc cause they missed the boat on what could have been.

PBC could have been so much more and would have been a great move for boxing if it was played right, instead imo was just really a money grab with the hopes that PBC boxing would work out aswell but the money grab was more at play here imo.

[just the facts]

if PBC has been such a great success then can someone tell me why boxing is ats lowest ever popularity in america and why pbcs flagship heavyweight fighter isnt a star in his own country and making peanuts compared to joshua in the far smaller united kingdom....

If PBC was ran by a white man, you’d be screaming at the top of your lungs how PBC was the best thing that ever happened to boxing.

get the **** out of my thread!!!!!!

and what was it supposed to be according to you?

it was meant to be a standalone package, a product in itself that would get viewed on mainstream channels. then many of the other broadcasters didnt renew it and it bounced to showtime and is basically just showtime boxing now. its as good as dead, the mission statement was to bring boxing back to the mainstream and its failed. its not even got close to doing so.

i dont know why people would consider it a failure.. there have been some really great fights over the last 3 years and i do believe there is a really big buzz around boxing once again.. i used to be a huge boxing fan up until i started watching mma but now im back to liking boxing more.. im sure im not the only one who feels this way and pbc you can say has a lot to do with it.

Same here man PBC got me back into boxing again I stopped really following it back in 2011

Jacobs already left and joined Hearn.
Don't know what these other PBC fighters are waiting for.

Notice most television shows and sporting events are on same time, same channel, same dates every year?

Well that's why pbc is a joke, different channels, different times, different fighters, no one has a clue what the heck is going on, where on when to watch it, wtf channel is bounce? Where the heck is fs1? When is it going to be on prime time?

It's impossible to keep up with it, or even care to try. Joke organization from top to bottom, pure money scheme.

I enjoyed last nights Colbert fight. The kid is talented.

And next week PBC is running a pretty decent triple header on Showtime.
