PBC To FOX?

[KTFOKING]

A good friend of mine with lots of knowledge..also a promoter and great insider told me: Hey Fer, Al already signed with Fox, he came to LA to sign deal the other day...huge deal (filling UFC's space)...but this time around, he will not announce it! That will be the Al I know

Interesting if true, but not total surprise. FOX was the only network from the big ones that Haymon had a chance to secure. Lets see if we hear more about this in upcoming days.

Good news if true.
Will probably come out soon. Fox has a card this weekend.

Nah. PBC is dead. Killakali and genrick told me.

If this is true, what happens with showtime?

If this is true, what happens with showtime?

Likely nothing. Al isn't just going to leave SHO unless he gets a MASSIVE UFC on ESPN type of deal. And that is highly unlikely. So PBC will have two outlets with FOX and SHO. Good for Al's stable as more dates would open up with sizable license fees where top guys can fight on FOX, instead of past their prime fighters like Berto/Alexander/Ortiz/etc.

They'll probably still be with Showtime unless Fox is doing like 20+ cards a year than Sho won't be needed.
How many cards was UFC doin a year.

Business as usual. Plenty to go around.

Deal is massive. Craps all.over the danz deal. 400 million annually.

If this is true, what happens with showtime?

Showtime/CBS is still the host for the premium content from Haymon.

Still waiting on the details, but if the rumors hold up, FOX/FS1 (and the 4 shows on BounceTV) will now be the home of the full PBC schedule (that was taken largely off of Showtime and spread across NBC/ESPN/SpikeTV/CBS/FOX/NBCSN/FS1); 4-6 shows on FOX, with the rest (if the talk is replacing the UFC schedule, you're likely looking at 25-30 shows a year) on FS1.

LOL no.

Even 1/5th of that is pretty damn good.
