Comments Thread For: PBC, ITV Reveals Details of Three Year Content Deal

[BodiesInFlight]

Loved ITV boxing growing up as a kid those middleweight domestic fights were some of the best nights i have seen in boxing

Wonder if they will bring Jim Rosenthal aka the count out of retirement

Loved that guy on F1 too. It's a shame we have these clean cut presenters now with no personality. Bunce aside of course

This is a good thing for the PBC brand and hopefully it works out!!

I agree. The time difference between uk and us will effect the viewer ratings. But with this new deal it makes it easier for haymon to recruit more uk talent. I'd really like to see the specifics of this deal the price, which fights go on where, and if theres any ancillary programs

Pretty sure ITV will pick up most of the SHO cards and certain FOX cards. The deal calls for MINIMUM 15 shows a year but likely it will be more. I'd guess four live shows in the UK, and the rest will be PBC shows picked up by ITV.

It does allow Haymon to recruit some UK talent now. I wouldn't expect him to "takeover" the market or anything, but gives him some additional dates while getting international revenue for his US PBC shows.

Al better hope Eddie doesn't get another billion dollars from DAZN after what the Hearns did to the PBC in the States! Matchroom might become the biggest promotional company in ENGLAND! #TheTakeoverContinuesApace

Haymon has Degale, Eubank?, Selby and Joyce. Some decent fights to be made, I guess.
Degale v Eubank
Selby v lightweights (Selby moved up to 135)
Joyce v Ortiz

Al is killing boxing. Why would he put more boxing on tv?

so more people can see the sport. Al Haymon pretty much saved boxing and everybody following along.

Oh no doubt he wants a slice of the UK. But you think he's trying to nab two of Warren and BT sports biggest stars? That could be interesting.

I wonder how long their contracts are for. I think I recall Tyson signing a 5 fight deal which he is 3 fights in to. Could be wrong on that though.

I see I have a good feeling about yarde just look on his managers instagram page..... him and sam were real buddy buddy.

Tyson fury is just a guess because of how he spoke of deontay wilder's team.... but no real proof

PBC is going out of business doe.

The interesting about boxing big 3 and tv deals are what they have to do next. I'm assuming everyone wants to build stars to to create more revenue and better ratings.

I dont think we know enough about haymons operation In Uk to know what his plans are. Will he have promoters working for him etc. But I wouldnt doubt if he tries to get elite uk talent
