Enter PBC on Prime - Paramount Global To Shut Down Showtime Sports; Network Will No Longer Broadcast Boxing

[patscorpio]

Damn so that only leaves DAZN and ESPN to run PPVs right? Or does ESPN not even do PPV.

ESPN doesnt do PPVs regularly..an anomaly really

It makes sense that Al/PBC went all out with putting on major events this year. I think most thought they were upping the ante because they wanted to prove to Showtime that boxing was worth it.....but now it looks like they got the heads up from Paramount some time ago that they cutting the sports division and they went on to put on these big fights to prove their commercial viability to other networks for 2023. 3 million PPVS sold and almost 100 million at the gate for 2023

It would be great for PBC to hit Amazon who would probably subsidize alot of their event. Them going to DAZN would have been great when the DAZN started off but they fukked that up when they gave alot of the money to Eddie Hearn....Why you giving a british man the money when you want to capture America ....Like Bob Arum said "He had a bonfire with DAZN money"

Fakkit promoters got to start playing on the same goddamn side of the street

Espinoza’s a sucker

Is it true Dazn is offering one billion for PBC?

 

[desjardins]

the best era of PBC was really when PBC on Spike TV...that iteration of PBC was damned good with PBC on Bounce being underrated...every other iteration was flawed

Was PBC buying time slots from Spike too or is that when they went to the usual network arrangement?

[CarltonJunior]

Sounds like promoters about to backdoor the boxers yet again

 

[L68]

Showtime saw that PBC put Andrade main eventing a ppv then decided that it wasn't worth it anymore

 

[Bleed The Freak]

Bruh... I am legit crossing my fingers that it's Prime.

Anything and I mean anything but DAZN.

Fukk......

I actually like DAZN but if boxing is to get back on the big stage, PBC will have to look into signing with Prime.

Whichever they decide, they're going to have to work on scheduling and talent development. Too many top level fighters not fighting and they have holes in too many divisions as far as talent it's concerned.
