This Saturday, March 7, PBC will put on its first card ever! The card will be headlined by Keith "One Time" Thurman vs. Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero. The undercard will feature Adrien Broner vs. John Molina Jr.
This is a great time for boxing fans as boxing comes back to regular television. These are definitely a miles ahead of the cards we have been getting on ESPN and on par with the bouts we get on HBO and Showtime. Al Haymon has been widely criticized recently, but he is definitely to be commended on the job he's done here.
This is your chance to get involved in the action. The live conference call will be Wednesday, March 4 at 1pm.
