Comments Thread For: Badou Jack vs. Marcus Browne Finalized For Pacquiao-Broner

Good card. Very curious about the buyrate for this one. Does Manny pull 400k buys with Broner? This undercard makes that more likely.

Also that would mean the PBC would have two consecutive solid PPV cards.

If Spence v. Garvia clears 300k buys, the the PBC will look nearly identical to the UFC in it's early days of the FOX deal.

Didn't lose money on the Wilder-Fury fight, hopefully don't lose money on Pacquiao-Broner and Spence-Mikey, Wilder-Fury 2 likely does better than the first fight, and Hurd-Charlo is pushed into the second half of the year.

You assume a second Pacquiao PPV (Floyd's not coming back, regardless of what folks want to say; Pacquiao-Danny could be interesting) and likely Thurman-Porter 2, and you've got the Showtime/FOX PPV schedule pretty well set.

Sucks. I was hoping for the Adonis Stevenson rematch...

not coming off a loss plus Easter wasn’t making 7 figure purses anyway

Easter Jr. should target Jorge Linares @ 140!

I have a feeling that if Pacquiao beats Broner in good fashion, Thurman will want to fight Pacquiao instead of Porter! Thurman will see it as low-risk, high-reward! The only question is will Pacquiao want to do it? Even if Broner wins, I think Thurman will fight him instead of Porter!

Good fight both guys are ranked pretty high so the winner can fight for a title next. Jack needs to start faster in his fights that is when he is always on the bad end of these decisions.

I root for both of these guys. Browne is talented but we'll finally find out if he is for real.

Gonna hit the movie theater for this fight card. Did it for wilder vs fury and enjoyed more than watching at home.

These type of 50/50 fights are the reason why we stick it out with boxing even though they give us **** matchups most of the time.

[Chrismart]

Good fight. Especially for an undercard bout.

I'm predicting a Draw!

I like Badou Jack, but this is might be the most important fight of his career. I feel like if he doesn't show up here, his career as a top level fighter is over. It's purely gatekeeper status from then on out.

[Kiowhatta]

This ought to be a good fight for Jack. If he can win convincingly we may see him challenge for any one of the four available belts, the only one somewhat undecided is the WBO, which I'm pretty sure Alvarez will do with another job on Kovalev to retain.

The only question then is who is he likely to challenge and considering the talent across the board now at 175, it's a hard ask to beat any of them.
