Comments Thread For: Premier Boxing Champions, Amazon Prime Announce Multi-Year Rights Agreement

But it doesn't always mean the match-up was PPV-caliber.

PPV is to cover purses.

Don't worry, there is a reason Fox, Spike, and Showtime got rid of them. Overpaying boxers to figh tomato Cans. PBC needs other boxers who were made into Stars by other Promoters for their business to be successful example Ryan Garcia and Canelo created by GB. Terrrence Crawford created by Top Rank.

Hopefully they learn their lesson and actually put on competitive fights people want to see. No just stay busy fights.

All the fangirls praying for PBC's demise will once again have a sad Christmas.

Hey are punching the air right now like trey in boys in the hood

Boxing just got more fractured - best won't be fighting the best - but for me, PBC on Amazon is better than PBC on Showtime - i wonder if any of the Showtime presenters and production crew will get jobs at Amazon - I imagine not which will be a shame for them

How has it become more fractured?

[dan-b]

Amazon boxing smh it keeps getting pushed further back from main stream

Define mainstream? Amazon is one of the most well known brands in the world.

still gonna be same ol pbc mediocrity. except with this deal they aren't getting free money pumped in.

PPV is to cover purses.

True, but what happens when too many fighters desire more than what the budget will allow? What match-ups will be left for the non-PPV shows? For example, a match-up like Cruz/Martin should headline one of those "free" shows, but Cruz is waiting for Davis to cherry-pick him. If we're lucky to get Cruz/Martin, will that somehow become a PPV?

It's good that PBC found another broadcaster, but I had no doubt they would. The only question was the "where". I just don't want a repeat of what we saw the past few years with PPV over-saturation, chronic inactivity, and primadonna behavior. It's yet to be seen whether the Amazon deal is an improvement over the SHO deal.

Posted this a YEAR AGO before Showtime even announced they was leaving boxing!

FOX don't want to commit to Boxing, they don't feel it is worth it and honestly, they're not wrong!

Either everything gets moved to Paramount Global OR they add another Network or APP...watch out for Amazon, they seem to be interested in Expanding Live Sports Events on their Platform. Unlike DAZN, they was able to land the rights to Exclusive NFL Content, then in a Interesting move they recently did a Deal with ONE Championship (MMA) in which they will have an event on Prime Video monthly



maybe PBC gets a Similar deal in which they do a Monthly Event Live on Prime I'm sure it is things in the works that they can't announce because FOX decided to pick up that Option despite not being willing to Spend much money on Fights so they just throwing anybody on PPV like Ruiz vs Ortiz

AND NOW...

PBC on Amazon Prime debut is in March which means their had to be another deal somewhere right?

Well....

PBC PPV fights will be available for all viewers to purchase, regardless of Prime membership.

Which means this deal will eventually die, because Amazon is not going to keep throwing money at fighters.

[OnePunch]

The same way DAZN boxing fans felt about purchasing PPV fights on its app. After Eddie Hearn had all but pronounced that that particular business model had become obsolete and outdated!

I cant speak for all DAZN viewers, but when they pulled that okey-doke and started with the PPVs I dumped my subscription.........
