Some people on here was getting a Hard On Thinking that PBC wasn't coming back

I like the addition of Bellator as well I remember when Showtime/CBS use to show Strikeforce, the coverage was good actually. I forgot about Viacom and CBS merger, while others are making CUTS, you could actually see Viacom/Showtime/CBS spend more money at this time

That's the direction I hope pbc takes once the fox deal is up. Bellator and pbc on viacom cbs. Viacom just got right to the uefa champions league so they are hungry for content.

I like it. I've been craving competitive fights like this since covid hit. The Franco-Maloney fight was also a competitive one. That's it though.

Does the PBC have bubbles?

Glad and happy with the boxing cards.

Things in PBC already have some good and decent match ups. I am glad things are getting together little by little.

Cousin! Strikeforce on Showtime was DOPE. Look how many fighters went on to shine in the ufc. That was one of the few eras where I actually was a loyal mma fan. Hopefully with the money behind it, Bellator can get to where Strikeforce was.

Always wondered why CBS didn’t take it further with PBC. The fight they had with PBC on cbs via showtime was a big ratings hit

Yep Thurman-Porter and Thurman-Garcia did huge ratings. I think at the time cbs just wasn't interested in the boxing business. PBC did the fox deal because they lost UFC and were looking to fill the void. I think now with the cbs all access app they would be more interested in bringing pbc to cbs on a more consistent basis.
