Looks like Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) has a lot more pay-per-view telecasts in the pipeline.
In Demand, the video-on-demand and pay-per-view (PPV) programming distributor owned by Charter Communications, Comcast Cable, and Cox Communications, announced that it has finalized a deal with PBC for a programming output deal that guarantees In Demand a long-term slate of PPV boxing events over the next several years, it was announced by Mark Boccardi, In Demand’s SVP, Programming & Marketing.
“PBC has the best fighters and most anticipated bouts in the boxing world today,” said In Demand’s Boccardi. “We’ve been distributing PBC’s exciting matches on pay-per-view for some time, but we’ve now cemented our alliance for the next several years. It’s gratifying that Premier Boxing Champions recognizes the benefits of committing to a long-term partnership, and reaping the rewards that In Demand offers our PPV content providers: revenue, distribution, and marketing support.”
“We’re very excited about this new arrangement with In Demand,” said Tim Smith, VP of Communications for Haymon Boxing and a representative for PBC. “It means that Premier Boxing Champions will continue to be able to deliver the best, most compelling matches in boxing on pay-per-view for the next several years.”
PPV…A proven formula for reducing boxing’s chances of ever getting people under 40 interested in the sport. Truly brilliant…on all levels.
PPV is dead ask Wilder and his 138k buys
You clearly haven’t been paying attention for the last three years.. pay-per-view is not even close to being dead. PBC has had the largest pay-per-view numbers of all sports or entertainment for the past 3 years.
PPV is dead. Millions have been watching for free for years now. Time to stop fighting ilegal streams and make the money on advertisement.
Really don’t know why people have a problem! PPV makes the event more exclusive, separate the casuals from hardcore!!! You know it’s an event. Can’t knock DAZN though. Boxing fans, spoilt these days, FINALLY
