Where them dazn deals doe. Nobody want to do business with that trash app doe. Canelo about to leave doe. #WarPBC

wow. Every sentence you sound salty. Don’t stop!

[N/A]

Unless of course that was the real plan all along from the beginning of PBC... pretend that they were trying to take boxing mainstream but really have an agenda for the old school PPV model.

They didn't pretend anything. From the very beginning, the PBC investors said publicly, in investment publications, that the plan was to use network TV to create new stars and then cash in on those stars via PPV.

I remember when PBC first started.. People was hating saying it couldn't compete with HBO... Then when Dazn launched.. People where saying.. HBO is out.. PBC is next!!.. Soon.. Dazn will be a memory too! Unless Haymon spares them.

The universe has a way with dealing out justice and vile hateful people have to deal with this thing called karma.....

[Oldskoolg]

They promised to bring back boxing to free tv, they never promised to kill ppv. They executed exactly as planned. There is more boxing on free tv, and the biggest and best fights are on ppv.

Get your facts straight.

Perfectly stated, all points

It's a good place to get guaranteed purses for the 3rd tier fighters or perennial B-Sides like Danny Jacobs. No need to get all the broadcasters out the game then Haymon will have no options when negotiating the next contract

more ppv's because wilder-ortiz was such a hit! haymon slowly liquidating the pbc to fill his own pockets vulture capitalist style. love it!

Yeah, best fights are "free to air" OK.

Doesn't say they will save the best stuff for PPV.

Point out a lie told in that quote.

They haven't done that?

Hosting a few ppv's disqualifies what is said on there in what world exactly?

I don't believe you are that dense.

This has to be one of the funniest comments on here. PBC PPV buys are at an all time low of 150,000 and you think they are going to spare someone? Hahaha

First lie would be that they have "returned the sweet science to its rightful place...". Not really. They haven't made that much of an impact for the sport. Come on, that is BS propaganda.

Then it's highly questionable to consider Showtime "free to air" when it's pay TV. Maybe you can spin it and say well some of it is free to air anyway.

And of course, the implication is that the *best fights* will be on free to air TV. Do you think that even *some* of the best fights are going to be free to air now? Or are *all* or largely all the biggest fights that fans really want to see likely going to be PPV? (Or perhaps pay TV with Showtime.)

Because if they aren't showing at least a good chunk of the best stuff free to air, then it's hardly accurate.
