Comments Thread For: PBC Names Barclays Center as Official East Coast Venue

Right...like Wilder v. Ortiz, or Hurd v. Lara, or Stevenson v. Jack, or Russell v. Diaz, or...

Nevermind, I'll stop now lol That's just this year btw. Stay classy

In order: lackluster, unnecessary, predictable and ******.....nah I’m fu cking with you, but this is how they want to make us think this is how they really feel.

Wasn't it already unofficially that? Or is this some kinda official business deal kinda thing that locks up Barclays for PBC boxing events, or gives them first dibs on dates?

[KTFOKING]

Barclays has been the home for boxing in the East Coast for the PBC the last three to four years. Very good atmosphere and nice spot for boxing. So this prevents guys like Jacobs from fighting at the Barclays now because he is no longer with the PBC right?

But I'm interested in seeing how Hearn does at places like Boston or Chicago or NO or Memphis etc. Is there a reasons promoters have abandoned those cities or can it really deliver? As for the PBC, they know the Barclays has done good numbers so why not continue the relationship?

Great News! The Energy and the Crowd at the Barclays is always incredible especially for PBC Events, people get up on their feet and really be into the fight you can feel the energy through to Broadcast on Showtime

This is the final nail in the coffin

This shows just low and how desperate pbc is right now. Might as well just admit it publicly. Al Haymon killed PBC

Ha! I've seen your posts so I know you're not a troll.

On a larger note, I think people are missing the big picture here. These TV deals, site deals (Staples Center will likely come soon.), the likely merch deals, etc. are setting the stage for a significant sports property that will be worth billions of dollars in the near future.

Just ask yourself this: If UFC sold for $4 billion (after the original $150 million FOX deal) and now commands $300 million in TV rights, what will the PBC be worth in 3 or 4 years?

Current TV rights are $125 million annually today and things aren't even operating at full capacity.

Wilder, Spence, and Garcia are prime and ready to tackle the PPV front.

If they can get at least two solid (meaning 300k per event sellers), PPV fighters and build out a solid digital marketing team, we might be watching one of the greatest entreprenuerial stories in the history of sports and entertainment.

Spent years here explaining what was painfully obvious to see for anybody with a business mind. Al Haymon a true mogul. I had a long talk with a UFC exec back in January. After, I was certain that PBC was going to cash in big.

There's likely an annual site fee attached here. I'd imagine it's between $10 - $20 million annually.

This just bolters the assets under the PBC entity. Which has huge implications for its attractiveness as an investment.

I mentioned this in the PBC investors thread yesterday. If they are getting 60+ million from both networks right now, what can they get after their deals expires? What is to say they don't get 80+ million each? Heck, FOX may be even investing even more depending on how well the series does and the amount of content they will be needing once they expand their digital platform.

What about that talk made you have so much confidence in PBC?

And randomly what do you do that you are talking to UFC guys if I can ask? Recall you mentioning some other stuff with real ppl & players in the business before, but idr if you mentioned the context of it or not or if I just forgot.

Correct all those were predictable fights. Wilder fought an old man, Hurd vs Past his prime Lara, I didn't didn't know Stevenson fought Jack and I dont care, that's not a fight I would watch for free.

Russell vs JoJo was a good fight.
