PBC: A Look at Haymon's Books
- Thread starter OfTheCross
- Start date
Top Rank already playing catch up. He just got a deal, I believe with tru tv. It's a thread on it. Crawford is going to eventually headline one. Wait for it.
Nice read!
Boxers are now going to aspire to be on the PBC like people aspire to be in the NFL and nba.
Not if the money's not right
Boxers currently are getting the same money as premium channels with way more visibility and marketing on network tv. Imagine the commercials being ran during NFL and college football games in the fall. Pbc will provide those opportunities. That will lead to their own sponsorships and different revenue avenues.
I wonder if haymon wants floyd to fight on pbc
If floyd finishes out his showtime contract at 49-0
Expound breh
Read this article on my whole damn train ride the other day. Glad somebody posted it. And yea, if this doesn't work out the way it's hoped to in the end, the investors involved will consider it water under the bridge because of their other investments, really. They've probably dealt with these sorta gambles/experiments elsewhere anyway, I imagine. I can't see if failing, personally, because of the brains involved.
If we see a PPV that's not really worth it, we gotta find a bullshyt stream. Even with one that we do like, the fact that we the consumers have to pony up to watch. Meanwhile, we can watch all of the other biggest sporting events in the world for free on network TV. The article talks about how PPV is really the biggest form of a greed play because of the structure of the sport on TV, as opposed to doing what Haymon is trying to do by making it a true attractive sports to those who should be paying...which are the advertisers and potentially service providers for the rights to the airing of it...because that's where the TRUE money is at, as evidenced by the other sports leagues through their TV deals in the last 5-10 years...not squeezing the lemon out of the people via PPV buys.
That's exactly what I've been wondering, and one would think it'd be the true coming out party for PBC. Floyd's 50th fight on CBS??If floyd finishes out his showtime contract at 49-0
i agree with Boss because of the whole notion of PPV...seems so 90s/early 00s at this point. It's like only using a desktop computer with a tower at home or something with the amount of ways to consume the technology.

yep this is another way for fighters to build up their fanbase. boxing would be a bigger sport if all the fighters fought on network tv. imagine the Floyd/manny fight on network tv
this is why I have no problem with ward fighting on BET. I honestly think roc nation can make ward a bigger star.
I don't mind PPV cause as it stands that's the way fighters get more money.
I've never purchased one, but I want the fighters to stay on PPV as long as that's the route that gets them paid.
