Premier Boxing Champions could be up for sale if Endeavor, the UFC’s parent company, can acquire it.
UFC President Dana White has been talking about getting back into the boxing business for two years now. However, nothing has come from it aside from just talk. That could change in a major way.
While doing a recent Q&A, The Athletic’s Mike Coppinger noted that there is truth to the rumors of Endeavor buying Al Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions.
“Rumors are true,” Coppinger wrote. “Al [Haymon] held several meetings with Ari Emanuel about a potential deal where Al would still be majorly involved the same way Dana [White] is with UFC following that deal with Endeavor. There’s a ton more to write about this; something I’ll cover in the coming weeks with a full-length story on the site.”
This would be a big move and one that White has been hinting to make “after the summer.” Time will tell whether an agreement can be reached.
The promotion launched back in 2015 with a roster of more than 200 boxers. Since then, the promotion has invested hundreds of millions of dollars to help fund and advertise themselves.
They have had time-buy deals with ESPN, CBS, FOX, NBC, and other networks. Despite their best attempt, these short-term deals have resulted in poor ratings with fighters who aren’t active enough, and some questionable fight bookings. They have managed multi-year agreements with FOX and Showtime for the long-term game.
The promotion has had some notable names under contract including WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, WBA/IBF/WBO heavyweight king Andy Ruiz, IBF welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr, WBA welterweight champion Keith Thurman, boxing legend Manny Pacquiao, WBA featherweight champion Leo Santa Cruz, and WBA super-featherweight champion Gervonta Davis.

Former UFC champ Conor McGregor is a big fan of heavyweight boxing star Tyson Fury.
“The Notorious” recently took to Twitter to praise “The Gypsy King’s” work on the pads ahead of his fight this weekend. After some words of praise, McGregor dubbed Fury the “number one heavyweight boxer of this era”:
“This is what fully committed pad work looks like. Amazing! Welcome to The Mac Life “Gypsy King” Tyson Fury! Leading the game from all angles. Enjoy Sin city my man we are not here for a long time, we are here for a good time. Atta boy Tyson, The number 1 HW boxer of this era.”
Fury makes his return to the ring Saturday night (June 15, 2019) against Tom Schwarz in Las Vegas, Nevada. The fight will be the first of Fury’s new multi-fight deal with ESPN. Should he emerge victorious, he’s expected to rematch Deontay Wilder for the WBC heavyweight title in early 2020.
However, Wilder will have to win his upcoming fight against Luis Ortiz, which will be a rematch against the man who came the closest to finishing “The Bronze Bomber” inside the ring.
McGregor hasn’t competed inside the Octagon since October of last year when he was submitted by Khabib Nurmagomedov. The Irishman is hoping to land a rematch with the lightweight champion soon, but will likely need to pick up a preliminary win before doing so.

Top Rank Boxing promoter Bob Arum expects a lot of new subscribers on ESPN+ for Tyson Fury’s fight against Tom Schwarz.
Fury returns to action on June 15 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas when he takes on the undefeated German prospect in a heavyweight match-up. It will be the Briton’s debut fight on ESPN+ since signing a lucrative deal with the sports network in February. ESPN+ was already bolstered with the addition of the UFC earlier this year.
UFC on ESPN+ 1, which featured a flyweight title fight between Henry Cejudo and TJ Dillashaw earlier this year, generated 568,000 new subscribers for the platform on the weekend of the event. But Arum, who has had a tumultuous relationship with the UFC, expects Fury to generate even more new subscribers:
“This weekend’s event is very important for boxing,” Arum said (via BoxingScene). “Look, even though the UFC are cousins of ours at ESPN, they are still competition. They’ve done extraordinarily well and ESPN had the announcement of their big subscription boost right out of the gate. With Tyson Fury coming up on June 15, we’re gonna get more new subscribers than they did with their debut in January.”
It would truly be something if Fury is able to generate even more subscribers than the UFC did back in January. But such is the confidence in him from Arum, who believes the Top Rank/ESPN banner has another special fighter under its stable:
“I’ve had some guys who were not shy, fighters such as Muhammad Ali and George Foreman,” Arum added. “(Fury) is right up with there with those two guys. People can relate to him. I’ve never seen an outpouring of fans like we have right now who root for Tyson Fury.
“People look at the heavyweight division. We have great fighters on ESPN – two of the best in Terence ‘Bud’ Crawford and Vasyl Lomachenko. He has the ability to capture the imagination. That’s what we hope to accomplish with him. This guy is a force in and of himself in and out of the ring.”
