Unbelievable....PBC in huge mess

The last pbc card with ortiz and berto was really good.
 
I cant start new threads for some reason so I'll leave this here

**PBC 2.0 incoming - funded by an international conglomerate **




 
On a related note, Big Dan Rafael is rubbing on everyone's faces (not me because I agreed with him) about the PBC ratings. People were giving him shit because Joe Smith pulled an upset, but in terms of ratings, it was still a horrible headliner

According to Sports Media Watch, the 0.8 is one of the lowest metered market ratings ever for a sporting event on prime-time network television. Every NBC prime-time PBC telecast has had a worse rating than the one before it, likely due to several poor matchups on paper.

Pull the plug on that shit already.
 
He isn't running the show properly. He took the idea but this just proves taking an idea isn't enough. If you want the job done you should want it done right.
 
For what it's worth, I would just like to point out that MMA promotion World Series of Fighting started out as a time buy- maybe still are- on NBC SN in 2012 and have successfully run 31 pretty decent mixed martial arts cards in the last almost four years on that cable channel and at least a couple on the big network NBC. There were also a couple of WSOF Canada cards on tv or online. A lot of people have speculated all kinds of things about who was financing them and why including the supposed fact they couldn't possibly have made a profit in that time and that the promotion was going to imminently fold after almost every event. Some or all those rumors may be true, but they're still going strong in 2016 with a decent roster and good events already scheduled for the latter half of this year. Hasn't affected my enjoyment of all the bouts on what is arguably the number three promotion in the U.S.. Whatever the deal is with the PBC behind the scenes, I hope they keep continuing putting on a lot of boxing cards.

NBCSN already had boxing with Kathy Duva's promotion (which is why she also hates Al Haymon) called Main Events.

In the end, neither network deal would pay boxers nearly enough. The WSOF deal for a whole year can probably only cover 1 PBC event payout.

Those are interesting factoids, but we're getting to see a lot of boxing on tv, whatever the behind the scenes shenanigans are.

Well, the reason you can't start threads, is because you're a piss belt atm.

The reasons for that may be legion, so who fucking knows.
 
They should pull the plug on the NBC relationship at least, since they are giving them all the B & C level cards anyway.

Broadcast that shit on www.gfl.tv or some shit, and quit wasting NBC's time.
 
WTF man, these promoters need to work together

 
How do timebuys work? PBC pays for the slot and keeps the commercial revenue?

Golden Boy, Kathy Duva and Top Rank are probably already scheming on how to take Schaefer to court

They can hold it in Pizza Hut next to the ice cream machine with fat Dan as guest ref.
 
Here is the write by Big Dan

I like Schaefer's idea on timebuys but Id work heavily with PBC and do multiple cross-promotions

"What I will be doing first is putting the team in place and I will be pursuing network deals and start to sign fighters. I believe putting things in the right order. Some others sign fighters and then chase these others things. I like to do it the other way around. I want to be able to offer young fighters, maybe some coming off [this summer's] Olympics or world champions who will become free agents a platform on television and sponsors so that I can tell them what I will do for them and how I will make them the kind of money I made for Floyd Mayweather and for many others. That's what I want to offer the talent out there. I made Oscar a lot of money, including outside of the ring."

This is getting interesting. In addition to opening his own promotion, it looks like Schaefer is making what sounds to be his own marketing company.
