      Oh no.. free/affordable championship boxing! how dares he.

      His idea failed, so be it. That's why PBC are showing a lot less fights.

      Hearn has come in with bigger budget - So we can get to see Spence, Charlos, Wilder, Thurman, Porter, Garcia, M Garcia etc etc 3 times a year each!

      On average they fight once a year currently.
      I hope it works out, lets see how it goes

            And if I do mention posters, they'll come and quote something they said 5 years ago that was mildly critical.

            Go and check in the thread and come back. DYOR
            It's not about a personal problem, it's about backing up your assertion with facts. There are not that many "pro PBC" people on NSB so this should be easy.

            Further, the ones that I know haven't been hating on Hearn.

              I really haven't seen any hate on it. The only criticism I have seen is people asking what fighters he will have as well as saying if he doesn't bulk up that stable no way are they paying 20 bucks a month for what will amount to ESPN friday night fights. I agree with that

                  We need to know the posters to be sure they "loved PBC" as the TS asserts. Otherwise, it seems like just fake stuff to trigger people.
                  I don't see a correlation with PBC, but do see a bit of nationalistic pride going on, and posters who have previously expressed disdain for Hearn. It's all a bit pathetic really.

                  This is big news for boxing, and for sports. I will get access to sports that I previously had limited access to. Also more boxing shows, I will see what the content is like for the first few months, and if I'm satisfied, I will swap it over for my Boxnation subscription.

                    Yeah, there is always national pride going on. In retrospect, that is the point Laced Up seemed to be making.

                    FWIW, I have no issue with Hearn's deal and I can't see why anyone would other than the monthly fee, which would be on top of the monthly fee paid for cable and/or streaming service.

                      Agreed.

                      Everyone is assuming the price point is going to be $20, let's wait and see. The other thing is obviously there is no contract, so you can dip in and out depending on what fights are on.
