  • Shame that Showtime and Fox Networks have become a stepping stone for Hayman and his PBC to try and build his fighters up into ppv so they can screw the fans a little more.
    What happened to the days when Leonard, Duran, Holmes. Cooney, even Frazier and Ali were seen on cable or network television and only their mega fights were ppv?
    Now showtime charges $70 for a ppv with a 20-1 favorite and a horrible undercard. Let’s hope Showtime does alot better or goes the way of HBO

    • Yes those were the days Johnny watch many of championship fights and other fights on Saturday afternoon on Wide World of Sports

    • The only way to get those times back is if nobody buys those shows and insread spends their money on local, live fight cards. Unfortunately, there really aren’t many local cards anymore because the sport hardly has any following left.

  • What boxing needs are more local promoters and club shows. The club shows are as important to boxing as the minor leagues are to baseball. Why doesn’t PBC put on local shows to build young fighters in their hometowns? Instead, PBC will take a fighter out of his hometown & bring him to Vegas.

  • i thought the WBA was going to pull all their extra BS champions? James is NOT the WBA champions its Ugas this is a BS championship fight

  • Mr. James has a date tonight. With the canvas.

    Mr. James can demonstrate tonight. Great pain on the canvas. After he gets KTFO.

    Speaketh … F.J.B.

  • I hope Lebron’s cousin Jamal gets KTFO tonight.

    The king of the canvas demonstrations. How to get KTFO in style.

    Speaketh … F.J.B.
