Angelo is joined by Lex, Rollins, and Tom to breakdown the entire slate of the PBC schedule.

They discuss the pros and cons of revealing several months at once, whether or not other promoters and networks will be inclined to change their plans in order to compete, will the concept of the double header pay-per-view work and plans for having a crowd.

Plus, which Charlo is in a tougher fight, will fighting at 130 make Tank-Santa Cruz a tougher fight, which Mayweather Promotions fighters are possibly going to be upset, and a whole lot more in a jam packed episode.

Angelo is joined by Tom for a packed episode on everything currently going on in boxing.

They discuss where the middle tier promoters might wind up if the pandemic continues at the rate it has been in America and if they can come out on the other side. They discuss Lou Dibella's future in the sport and if he's in a favorable position or not.

Canelo is rumored to be fighting Jason Quigley but Callum Smith is also in the mix according to sources. Will Canelo actually fight Quigley or is Callum Smith the likely opponent for November.

Tim Bradley seems to be on the side of promoters. Is that the right position to take right now and should fighters take a paycut or is this a ridiculous concept?

Is it good for boxing that the NSAC will no longer be disclosing purses?

DAZN appears to be losing the main event of Matchroom USA's first event back, Zurdo Ramirez is free from Top Rank, and Oscar Valdez is back promising to deliver ESPN's biggest rating to date.

Angelo is joined by Fred and Tom to discuss the three Top Rank cards from this past week. They address the most fundamental question for all boxing fans: is this enjoyable? They discuss whether they are or are not entertained by the cards, discuss concerns surrounding the ratings, and guess when we will finally see bigger and more competitive fights. They also get into whether Top Rank is getting more money for the cards than they are letting on and the difficulties with putting the events on. Plus, a discussion on prospects, the Hooker-Prograis situation, and whether or not Bob Arum's feud with Dana White is fabricated.

Angelo is joined by Fred to discuss the UFC's event this past weekend. Were there things to learn? Can boxing copy some of what the UFC did? Could boxing get away with some of the things UFC did this past weekend including the non-disparagement agreements? Can we expect similar numbers. All this and more discussed! 

Angelo is joined by Lex to play a game battling against each other to put together the best cards. They go 10 rounds picking a main event and co-main. The rules are simple. Two rounds of exclusive FOX/Showtime, ESPN, and DAZN cards. Four rounds of freestyle mix and match. No rematches. No crazy jumps in weight.

Who wins after 10 rounds? Let us know!

Angelo is joined by Rollins this week for a draft style pod. The premise is simple. With network and promotional politics out of the way, which fighters have the most value. The guys count down from 50 to 1 with plenty of surprises along the way you can't miss.
