Manager/adviser Al Haymon is making a lot of moves. Two weeks ago the 'most powerful man in boxing' held a press conference in New York City to announce his new boxing series, Premier Boxing Champions, on NBC.

The first show of the 'Premier Boxing Champions' series will debut on March 7th, on NBC, from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Two fights have been announced for the show, Robert Guerrero vs. Keith Thurman and Adrien Broner vs. John Molina. Another show takes place on April 11th with Danny Garcia vs. Lamont Peterson and likely Andy Lee vs. Peter Quillin.

Sources with knowledge of the details have advised BoxingScene.com that Al Haymon is now rolling out another series of shows, this time on Spike TV.

The first show of the series is being lined up for March 13th, with former champion Andre Berto (29-3, 22KOs) facing Josesito Lopez (33-6, 19KOs) in a welterweight encounter. Former welterweight champion Shawn Porter (24-1-1, 15KOs) is expected to appear in the co-feature but the opponent has not been confirmed. Information regarding the location and venue has not been confirmed at this time.

this year fans will have boxing on hbo, showtime, espn, fox sports 1, nbc and now spike :wow:

I believe Artur Szplika is going to headline a Showtime Card that was supposed to have Fonfara on it too........ which is still a possibility seeing how Arum is going to fight the recent Chavez Jr./Fonfara bout

Sources with knowledge of the details have advised BoxingScene.com that a deal is practically locked up for Kell Brook (33-0, 22KOs) to make a mandatory defense of his IBF welterweight title against Jo Jo Dan (34-2, 18KOs) on March 28th at the Motorpoint Arena in the champion's backyard of Sheffield.

Brook's opponent is going to be announced at a press conference on Thursday. Dan won not one but two eliminators against rising Canadian contender Kevin Bizier. Brook captured the title last August with a twelve round decision win over Shawn Porter.

As BoxingScene previously reported, Brook vs. Dan was stalled because both sides were unable to reach a deal on the financial terms. When the two sides became deadlocked, Antonin Decarie (IBF's highest available contender) emerged as a frontrunner to face Brook.

However, as Dan's team was likely to request an immediate purse bid to position their shot, the two sides came back to the table and worked out their deal.

Not a bad defense at all.
