ATLANTA, March 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Bounce TV has signed a multi-year deal to televise live boxing events of the new Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) series, joining an impressive line-up of television networks with long-term agreements to air the PBC series.
PBC The Next Round will be a monthly series, with two hours of live boxing featuring the most exciting prospects in the sport and boxing’s future stars.
The series will premiere on Bounce TV in July, with a schedule of fights and on-air talent to be announced shortly.
Bounce TV is the fastest-growing African-American (AA) network on television and has become the #2 most-watched* among all AA networks. It has grown to be available in more than 85 million homes across 90 markets, 90% of African American television homes — including all of the top AA television markets — and three quarters of the total television homes in the United States. Among the founders of Bounce TV are iconic American figures Martin Luther King III and Ambassador Andrew Young.
“This series provides future stars of boxing frequent nationwide exposure on over-the-air television, and will benefit the African-American audience who I believe miss watching this great sport on free TV,” said Mr. King III.
Ambassador Young commented, “Many legendary boxing champions have been heroes to the African American community, whose love of, and passion for, the ‘sweet science’ spans decades. I am thrilled that Bounce TV will take part in this great sport’s return to prominence.”
