    Obviously from the presser today FOX is really all into it. If marketed right, this will work.

    Y'all better support this or by 2025 boxing will be gone from the public's eye all together.

    If this fails it will be because of the boxing media and boxing fans pushing people away.

    A lot are dogging these match ups. Did y'all think we were gonna see Thurman-Spence or something. None of the match ups are bad other than Santa Cruz-Flores.
    But we have to see what Top Rank, Golden Boy and Matchroom bring to the table.
    all they had to do was have Keef fight Granados, Danny Garcia face Berto, LSC fight Russell or if he was on his usual hiatus then Selby and have sent Jermall to DAZN to fight Andrade and we would love the first quarter.

            Who Cares! Same people who bash PBC was asking for Links for the Press Conference earlier today they will complain but THEY WILL WATCH

            Same with DAZN, Top Rank...Boxing Fans will Support IT ALL but it is not the boxing fans that they need, it is the GROWTH in CASUAL FANS they need and being on Network TV for sure can help with that because a Casual is not going to Download a APP for a sport they Casually Watch BUT they might stick around for a Loma and Crawford on ESPN while waiting for Sportscenter or stick around for PBC on Fox waiting for their Local Prime Time News Coverage to come on

            The Powers that Be in boxing are not listening to the Internet Boxing Fans and they shouldn't because honestly...Most Of Us Don't Know Sh#t! How can we tell promoters how to create bigger boxing stars when none of us ever created one, why the hell should they listen to us?

            Respect to Fox for investing into boxing and they seem like they're going all out for the sport like they do for NFL Football which is GREAT!

              Dazn has the WBSS and I just watched Usyk vs Bellew and Andrade was facing Saunders till he popped dirty.

              Stop trying to justify the S H I T PBC fights by trying to put down other promoters fights.

              And canelo will be fighting 11 times on that app while you're paying PPV prices for any fight that looks competitive for the next 5 months lol.

              Pbc is trash, they got you boys brainwashed.

                How is Usyk vs Bellew not a miss match? Wbss used to be free and now you're paying 10 a month for it

                Just be honest DAZN didn't have fights better than PBC on FS1 never mind showtime fights

                  I wholeheartedly agree. Unfortunately you will never be able to please some boxing fans no matter what you do. Could some of the match ups been better? Sure of course, they could have been better. However, some of the biggest names in boxing are fighting on free network television. That should be in and of itself enough to get excited about. The fights are on free TV. At least one doesn't have to dole out hundreds of dollars per year just to watch some of their favorite fighters through some subscription based cable television or internet service.

                    People keep telling me when this happens or that happens PBC will put on the big fights. Well we are close to 4 years into this PBC project & this first Fox schedule rollout was supposed to be something crazy good cuz its on Fox's dime now vs a time buy. I'm still not seeing it doe. Some good fights on these cards don't get me wrong, but PBC could make big fights every other month with their roster without blowing out their stable.

                      I think that says a lot about fans.

                      In 2018, we've seen:

                      Benavidez-Gavril II
                      Wilder-Ortiz
                      Dirrell-Uzcategui II
                      Lara-Hurd
                      DeGale-Truax
                      Broner-Vargas
                      Russell-Diaz
                      Mares-Santa Cruz II
                      Charlo-Trout
                      Garcia-Easter
                      Garcia-Porter
                      Wilder-Fury on deck

                      In 2017, we had:
                      Jack-DeGale
                      Davis-Pedraza
                      Frampton-Santa Cruz
                      Vasquez-Collazo
                      Broner-Granados
                      Warren-Zhakinayov
                      Hurd-Harrison
                      Berto-Porter
                      Spence-Brook
                      Broner-Garcia
                      Charlo-Lubin
                      Hurd-Trout

                      And I'm missing a few. Yes, there are still many more good fights that can be made. And when they're made, they'll be long forgotten and we'll be clamoring for the next round.
