    Netflix doesn't have any live streaming sports yet. No way would they start that up with PBC :lol:

    All of PBC’s big events are on PPV. Even Ortiz vs Martin was on PPV. Benavidez vs Andrade probably shouldn’t be on PPV either.

    Fighters put themselves through things normal human beings cannot. I don’t and will never begrudge fighters maximising their incomes. I am pro-boxers.

    Like I said, they have ZERO live sports as of yet. They won't risk their fist foray into live sports w/ someone like PBC.

    Netflix have stated on numerous occasions they wouldn't head in such a direction but things change so who knows

    DAZN will be out of boxing business as well. They are bleeding money and have been for years.

    Showtime bin Al-Haymon would make a decent forum handle

    Looks like it could be Amazon Prime. That would be great. I already have it.

    My son also works for them in Seattle. Maybe I can get some comp'd tickets. ;)

    If Bezos is a boxing fan, might be a good thing. My understanding is that he pays well but demands a proper work ethic which is what that stable needs.
