Once again as we said he would Al Haymon and Premier Boxing Champions have had the last laugh, this is big today from Inoue.
Naoya ‘The Monster’ Inoue returns next month and with Top Rank’s ESPN deal coming to an end they have jumped ship onto to the PBC’s team essentially as they will now have Inoue fight on Amazon Prime Video per Inoue on X (Japanese to English translation)
“As announced the other day, he will defend his title against WBA No. 1 ranked fighter, Ramon Cardenas, on May 4th (May 5th Japan time) at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, USA. The broadcast will be streamed live on Prime Video”
Well, well, well, what have we here then. What happened to all the PBC haters saying they would never last?
They failed to mention something there, both Inoue and his promoters Bob Arum’s Top Rank in that regard. Amazon Prime Video was brought to boxing by the PBC.
We told you do not sleep on Amazon in boxing, today further proof.
PBC are thriving more than ever as this new Amazon Prime video deal that PBC and Haymon brought to boxing has just gone nuclear today in Japan and America with the above from Inoue and Top Rank.
Tremendous further commercial votes of confidence in the entire sport from Amazon again today.
Like we mentioned before, in the East and West too.
