    2015 is already looking better than 2014. We have Wilder-Stiverne this Saturday, Rios-Alvarado III next week, Golovkin-Murray in February, and Kovalev-Pascal and this NBC card in March.

    I'm actually excited for this, especially these first two cards.

    Observing with a skeptical eye. Why do I get the hunch Haymon will end up being worse tha Arum or King?

    As jaded as I've been about Al before, if he pulls this off well, I'll be happy to give him his props. I may be critical of some aspects of the business, but I'm a boxing fan first and foremost.

    It looks good so far!

    The year-round random testing is especially awesome, considering this is on free TV. The casuals will get 100% honest boxing, which is cool. Also good that they're starting off with big matchups that honestly deserve PPV undercard status. Looks like they're doing aa 4-man tournament with Peterson, Garcia, Molina, and Broner. Wonder where that leaves Lucas?

    UNLESS....

    Anyone think they're saving Matthysse-Provodnikov for the Mayweather-Pacquiao undercard?? It would be a brilliant move. Those two bouts alone cover every type of fan out there, and that bout is definitely going to deliver even if Manny and Floyd don't...

    I've criticized what Haymon did so far, and I really don't like how he's gotten to this point, but if this is the kind of stuff that results I'll be ok with it. Championship boxing on free TV is a huge deal.

    Same. He's insufferable.

    Good point too, the sport dodged a bullet.

    relax

    I wrote that before they announced the first two shows. I am pleasantly surprised.

    HBO & Showtime make $ from subscriber volume. TV makes $ from sponsors/ advertisements national and at a local level. Did you ever see a commercial on HBO or Showtime:yep
