Wow that was huge! The PBC is really excelling as far as boxing cards in the states are concerned.

[Robbie Barrett]

So isn't that good that someone convinced Fox to put on boxing so more people would watch boxing?

Wasted a massive opportunity to put on a big fight and really get people watching to put on an undercard quality fight instead. I wouldn't say that's good.

PBC #1

Just wait until Canelo joins the team, the world is gonna shake.

You know it! The PBC is taking over.

1.7 million people aren’t watching a fight on DAZN or ESPN+ . That’s the point. PBC is the king of boxing

It's not a huge achievement to get the viewers they did on a major network. That's the point.

You’re mad because PBC cards are getting way more viewers than Top Rank, Matchroom and GoldenBoy cards. DAZN and ESPN+ cannot compete.

I think what he is trying to say is that PBC is paying money to air while other companies like Golden Boy and Matchroom are getting paid to put on fights.

More about Haymon having the opportunity to make an impact and put on a big fight on a channel that has a massive reach, he decided to put on an undercard fight as the main event.

Maybe Eddie Hearn should show him how it's done? If he thinks he can do better?

Wrong. FOX is paying the PBC $60M yearly. That’s a 4yr/$240M deal.

They were paying UFC double that for about the same ratings. Of course FOX is happy. And especially with the PPV's.

But on here people think 25k people watching on a stream is what success looks like

You don't know what the budget was and you don't know what fighters get paid. So you don't know if they could have put on a bigger fight. What you do know is that 1.7 million people watched. That's a good thing.

Pbc do not pay money to air anymore they signed a 4year deal with fox or have you been living under a rock? They stopped buying airtime last year
