PBC IN TALKS WITH AMAZON PRIME

PBC’s boss Al Haymon has had talks with bringing his huge stable of top-level fighters over Amazon Prime as a part of a new broadcasting deal now that Showtime is expected not to renew the contract after it expires. As Chris Mannix points out, it” unclear at this point if Amazon Prime will be looking to be a “Showtime-like boxing provider” or if this is just a one-off event. Amazon has the money to afford boxing, as they’re already paying huge amounts of dough for their broadcasting of NFL fights.
