    Four guys in the broadcast booth?

    I was listening to an interview with Shawn Porter today and the interviewer said Shawn Porter, Brian Kelley, Max Kellerman, and Timothy Bradley would be calling the fight. Are they all together? Or is ESPN have a new team on their network? Four people calling the fight seems a bit excessive. Does anyone know what’s going on?

    They're probably just combining the espn and fox announcers like they did with the pac-may fight. But does shawn usually commentate?

      He did some fights in the past during the PBC time buy days. But he’s mostly been an in studio analyst in this new PBC format. Like I said before four guys calling the fight at once seems like a disaster.

        Haha yeah it is. They're just gonna be talking over each other. Not to mention the guy they chose to do the unofficial scorecard

          One announcer and one ex fighter gotta go IMO.

          Who would you choose?

          I'd keep Shawn Porter even though I haven't heard much of his commentary or analysis, just tired of Bradley honestly. And Kellerman cause I miss HBO and have a soft spot for that burnt lip ***.

            They've got 4 people hosting; Tessitore, Ward, and Lennox are going to call the fight.

            To put it in context, rather than have Custer hosting the show (with Al/Mauro/Paulie giving the post fight), this broadcast is going to have the 4 of them all hosting the show (likely doing the pre and postfight stuff).

            Could end up being a real **** show, tbh
