All them looping semi wild left hands Andrade throws from time to time will definitely come in handy against Coke Boy.

Yes UFC did grow by putting out there show on Spike. That Griffin/Bonner fight was legendary and we all talked about it at work the next day

A boxing reality show would be dope, but they can't skimp on the boxing. I remember the 1st season of contender with the edited highlights with all the over dramatic ass music. Boxingtalk getting everyone heated by spoiling who won. Simpler times.

An updated pros vs joes would be dope too.

I remember the UK had a show where 2 regular blokes learned to box and would end up facing each other in a real bout. That shyt was dope cuz it should a lot of the training and how regular out of shape people had to go hard.
they had a whole season of contender about 5 years ago..was pretty good too...but the problem was they put it on epix lol

Facts. Epix wasn't even popping like that either.

Warren and Hearn need to do a Contender so fans might start giving a damn about those stale ass marathon cards they be producing.

epix always dipped their toes in the water when it came to boxing

they used to air fights from germany every now and then ..i remember watching the fight on there where arthur abraham got stopped and lost his title on an upset lol

Amazon Prime would be good since I already have it and they do some creative shyt broadcasting sports, but probably not good for the sport's visibility/popularity. Les Moonves getting caught up in his shyt was probably the start of the ending because he was apparently a big advocate for boxing at Viacom.

i have it too and agree with the creative stuff...if they roll the dice i can see it as al thinking a lot of people do have legit subs to amazon prime as it is...nfl utilizes it but the nfl is also on OTA and regular cable...there would need to be some OTA channel or cable channel in the plan

Funny how Espinoza and other showtime ppl were JUST denying this sh!t over the weekend during interviews :mjlol:

Idk why this is happening but I imagine that the amount of money that these fighters were getting paid was way too much for a network like showtime to make good profits and feel like it was worth all the work to have boxing on their network. Had these fighters been getting paid like UFC guys, (not to say I want them to be paid peanuts or anything) showtime would not be looking to bush boxing I bet.

I bet Bezos would love to get his hands in the sports world and snatching the PBC and their fighters - which are quite known - is a great way to do that. I imagine PBC boys won’t be getting the same kind of checks and deals that their used to though.
