Broner vs. Molina

[Kirkland Laing]

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.
