Originally posted by The Big Dunn View PostNO it isn't replacing FNF. It is a new series predominantly on ESPN Deportes (check the dates) and going to ESPN2 on certain dates
The series, sponsored by Tecate, will air on ESPN2 and will be simulcast in Spanish on ESPN Deportes as well as streamed on ESPN3. A few .... will not be available on ESPN2, however, because of scheduling conflicts.Last edited by Mitchell Kane; 01-19-2017, 04:41 PM.

Originally posted by Mitchell Kane View PostYeah, they drastically reduced the number of shows they had in previous years.
12 shows this year, if they actually do 12 shows, is what they were supposed to be doing since the start.
PBC has been on air for less than two years. They moved their 2016 ESPN cards that were initially slated to begin mid-year because they noticed trends in the market that led them to believe their ratings would suffer if they continued to blindly do shows once a month.
Whether you choose to believe it or not is your business. But 12 shows this year fulfills their contractual duties and that's that.
"We put out a schedule for 2017 and our network partners are committed, those deals are already in place, we have a slate of boxers so there will be someone fighting on those cards because we already have those dates and we already have our partnership agreements in place with the networks. So the only thing I can tell you is to sit around, wait and see. All the things are in place that are necessary for us to have shows on television."

Originally posted by youbeight View Postif espn was looking to replace pbc they would have just put gbp series on espn and not espn2 or espn deportes. or even better they would have given gbp full capability of choosing which of their networks to air on it. its different compared to fs1 who ditched gbp for pbc bc pbc offered them more money in the time buy. espn is looking at pbc and gbp as a way they can get paid by both while not having to see them have pissing contest on who gets what dates. and with gbp having heinekin as a sponsor, i doubt level of their shows will be different compared to what is already on ring tv or estrella.

Originally posted by Mitchell Kane View PostWell, their original plan was to "blindly do shows once a month"...if the market couldn't support that many shows that often then it sounds like a design flaw.
