Comments Thread For: Al Haymon, PBC Target TV Invasion in The UK

[khal-d]

LOL @ everyone thinking that Matchroom/Hearn will just give it all up to the PBC, like "oh yeah no problem take all my fighters and my TV dates!" Same goes for BoxNation/Warrens who have built something special from the ground up.

If you haven't realized everyone has their hands out for the time being because you might as well receive some of the millions they're dishing out while they're still around.

its only a matter of time before pbc launches a subscription stream service as well like wwe ufc etc

Very much possible, but there is absolutely not enough demand for them to go through with this at this point.

PBC is doing a terrible job in terms of promotion of their fighters and events. For all the genius Al Haymon has, he does not have an ounce of promoter in him, and neither does his team (who mostly don't know what's going on anyway, I believe that he's just as secretive with his staff as he is with the media).

Hearn may eventually become the face of the brand.

Hearn and Haymon are tight. They are probably the most visionary promoters in the sport right now. If those two team up boxing is well on its way back

Haymon has such a hard-on for Anthony Joshua that he'd probably swim the Atlantic to sign him. He knows Wilder is a farce waiting to be exposed, but that Joshua could be that legitimate HW star he so badly needs.

Not sure how Hearn feels about losing control over his promotions though. I'm sure the other UK promoters will line up for those handouts though.

how we say in the united snakes in the hoods out here:
LETS GET IT HAYMON

Glad to see the PBC expanding. They can draw some nice crowds overseas and help the sport grow.

Last nights card wasn't all that appealing and the next six PBC cards are not all that appealing to me as well and I am a hard core fan. So what fan base is PBC after? With that said I'm not so sure they have been all that successful in the USA and they are now going to cross the big pond? Side note: Last night one of the commentators stated, I am paraphrasing, that Malik Scott may be a heavyweight but he has the skills of a a welterweight. Just what the hell does that mean?

"PBC going broke doe"

This is more than I was expecting, anytime soon anyway. The UK market seems like a more loyal boxing fanbase market these days to, so this should be an interesting move. I'd like to see something happening in Mexico too. They should have a base of operations in Mexico. And they need to get into a Asian place if possible cuz the lower weight divisions are so overlooked & under considered with Haymon's bankroll he could probably make some big fights there & unify to one champion if put in some effort.

with box Azteca and other numerous boxing channels. Haymon really wont have much of an impact to compete with the other guys. But maybe the Asian markets could help even though arum has been trying to build some stars with roach
