Broner vs. Molina

Also Saturday...On Spike TV a card from my hometown featuring Andre Berto v Josesito Lopez and Shawn Porter v Roberto Garcia. And RJJ is co-promoting a card on the Fort McDowell Reservation just outside Phoenix.

oh snap, I had no idea. Thanks for the info

Box Nation are showing it in Britain. They just did a deal with Haymon for his first few cards.

[walrus]

yup, this fight will be on channel 4 in the US which is regular NBC. Really happy to see this. Hope it is a new era in boxing. I'm curious to know if the revenue generated for all those involved is equal to or surpasses the deals with hbo or Showtime

There's no way that Haymon is covering his costs by selling the ad space. He's buying huge chunks of TV time from various channels with a big old bankroll that he's raised from various private equity firms and investors. He's doing what the guys who started UFC did and if he's successful he'll probably graduate to his own PPV events and/or possibly even his own subscription channel.

I just hope that with bringing these fights to the mainstream and the Pac Mayweather fight, it lights the fire under EA's ass to finally make another Fight Night game for the PS4 & xbone.

so you are saying he is paying NBC to air these fights not the other way around. I don't mean to be naive I just haven't looked into it at all.

On regular cable here so its not really free but part of something I already pay for so no complaints. I've been wondering what the paydays are also.

People chuckled a little at Cotto fighting on ESPN but he just signed a 3 fight 50 million dollar deal to end his career. Apparently he might also be doing a little chuckling.

Real nice set and production early. Thoroughly impressed. Real good feel to this.

Leonard still looks 25

[palmerq]

This is a pretty good production for normal cable and on paper it looks to be an interesting card, I am looking forward to the action.

These fights are next Friday. Before I became senile, I was pretty good at reading.
