Amazon Prime took a massive step into boxing in December 2023 when it announced a landmark partnership with Al Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions (PBC).
The huge multi-year deal has massive ramifications for the sport of boxing, with fans waiting to find out where PBC shows would land following Showtime’s decision to end its 37-year association with the sport.
