Live Boxing Events Hit Screens with PBC Pact!

Prime Video has landed a colossal punch in the realm of live sports by securing a multiyear rights agreement with Premier Boxing Champions (PBC). This groundbreaking deal brings top-tier pay-per-view boxing events to U.S. viewers, marking a significant move for both Amazon's streaming platform and the boxing world at large. The PBC, a powerhouse in the boxing arena boasting over 150 active fighters across diverse weight divisions, has hosted a series of high-profile matchups in 2023. From David Benavídez vs. Caleb Plant to Gervonta “Tank” Davis vs. Ryan Garcia and Errol Spence vs. Terence Crawford, these events have captured the attention of boxing enthusiasts worldwide. Prime Video's entry into the boxing landscape means it will exclusively distribute PBC's pay-per-view events in the U.S. This move is not restricted to Prime members, as these electrifying matchups will be available for purchase by anyone interested in witnessing boxing's finest showdowns. Additionally, Prime Video has sealed exclusive streaming rights for a PBC Championship Boxing event series, showcasing top-tier fights among both current stars and rising talents in the boxing sphere. Specific details about the cards, dates, and locations of these events are set to be revealed at a later date. This landmark deal arrives on the heels of Paramount Global's announcement about discontinuing Showtime Sports, a prominent U.S. PPV distributor of PBC events, after nearly four decades in operation. Prime Video isn't merely acquiring rights; it's poised to elevate the viewer experience by producing and distributing original content. This includes behind-the-scenes docu-series shedding light on the world of PBC, live weigh-ins, and comprehensive access to past events, highlights, and archival footage. Marie Donoghue, VP of U.S. sports content and partnerships at Amazon, expressed enthusiasm about bringing the pinnacle of boxing to Prime Video, emphasizing the platform's commitment to delivering top-notch sports content to a global audience. With Prime Video's expanding roster of live sports, including NFL's "Thursday Night Football," the WNBA, and other notable leagues, this strategic move solidifies its position as a frontrunner in streaming sports entertainment.  #PrimeVideo #PBC #LiveBoxing #StreamingSports #BoxingEvents
