Who Owns Premier Boxing Champions?

Al Haymon, a Harvard-educated former music and entertainment promoter, entered boxing management in the 2000s and built a stable of elite fighters including Floyd Mayweather, for whom he served as adviser during Mayweather's highest-earning years. By the early 2010s, Haymon Boxing managed a roster deep enough to sustain a dedicated broadcast series.

Premier Boxing Champions launched in January 2015 with the goal of returning boxing to broad broadcast platforms. Its early deals put PBC events across multiple networks including NBC, CBS, FOX, ESPN, and Showtime, an unusual multi-network strategy designed to maximize exposure rather than exclusive channel identity.

The series grew into one of boxing's major promotional platforms, staging championship fights for its roster including Deontay Wilder, Errol Spence Jr., Gervonta Davis, and the Charlo brothers. Its deal with Showtime produced many of the division's biggest events through the late 2010s and early 2020s.

The end of Showtime's boxing operation in 2023 forced a broadcast realignment. PBC struck a pay-per-view partnership with Amazon's Prime Video beginning in 2024, putting its biggest cards on the streaming platform. In July 2026, PBC added a multi-year agreement with DAZN to carry PBC events, making all five major traditional promotions available on the streaming service while keeping its PPV business on Prime Video.

Through 2025 and 2026, PBC continued staging major championship events, including the Errol Spence Jr. versus Tim Tszyu pay-per-view on Prime Video in July 2026, maintaining its position among the leading forces in professional boxing.
