PBC: The Next Round is the branding[1] used for monthlyPremier Boxing Champions cards[2][3] broadcast on theBounce TV[4] digital multicast network.
On May 7, 2015, Bounce TV announced that they would be airing live boxing events from Premier Boxing Champions. Rather than having the broadcasters pay the promotion a rights fee, the telecasts arebrokered byAl Haymon[5] to the networks in exchange for a cut of advertising revenue. Bounce's first PBC card aired on August 2, 2015.[6] The inaugural live telecast delivered 459,000 total viewers[7] and averaged 333,000 households between 9:00 p.m.-12:15 a.m. It hit a peak audience of 667,000 total viewers and 444,000 households.
