Premier Boxing Champions
Manager Al Haymon's Premier Boxing Champions series features top-level fights all around the country (and across the television landscape). Just look at the names in the PBC promotion. Champs and ex-champs and legit prospects abound: Deontay Wilder, Adonis Stevenson, David Benavidez, Jermall and Jermell Charlo, Jarrett Hurd, Errol Spence Jr., Keith Thurman, Shawn Porter, Mikey Garcia, Leo Santa Cruz, Gary Russell Jr., Abner Mares, Brandon Figueroa, Danny Garcia, Guillermo Rigondeaux, Jarrett Hurd, and Gervonta Davis. Living relic Manny Pacquiao is on board. Surprise titlist Andy Ruiz Jr. is in the PBC camp, too.
Premier Boxing Champions History
The first PBC card was in 2015, and it was broadcast on NBC, with Keith Thurman as the headliner and Adrien Broner and Abner Mares on the undercard. There've been a lot of fireworks since then, heavyweight champ Deontay Wilder providing many of them. In 2016, Wilder knocked out Artur Szpilka in the ninth round with a cannon shot from his right hand. The following year, Wilder swarmed challenger Bermane Stiverne, knocking him down three times before the fight was stopped in the waning moments of the first round. Stiverne managed just two jabs and two power shots in all.
In 2018, Wilder took on Luiz Ortiz at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn in one of the great bouts of the promotion's brief history. The cautious, pawing exchanges of the early rounds gave way in the fifth to a big right from Wilder that buckled Ortiz's knees and then a second right that sent him to the floor. Ortiz came back and nearly knocked out Wilder in the seventh. The champ rallied, and in the 10th he overwhelmed Ortiz, ending the fight with a huge right uppercut.
But the PBC is a lot more than Wilder. In September 2019, welterweight Errol Spence Jr., fresh off his domination of Mikey Garcia, bested Shawn Porter in a frenetic split decision, unifying the IBF and WBC belts and moving Spence closer to the top of the pound-for-pound rankings. And don't forget the old guy. In 2018, Pacquiao, on the cusp of turning 40, joined the promotion and soon recorded a pair of solid decisions, first against Adrien Broner and then against the dangerous Keith Thurman.

For the full experience of the evening one should arrive early . The doors to Barclay Center opened at 3:00 pm and there were preliminary fights taking place from then until the main event of Thurman vs Lopez. These preliminary fights just warms you up for the main event they were very entertaining; I sat next to a group of fellow fans and we bonded and cheered for our favorites it was a great night of boxing, thank you. Can't wait for my next fight.
All seats are good but the fighter's walk seats are the best!
Excellent venue> Professional and Courteous Staff
Had great time was at 4040 club great view to the boxing rink fights where entertaining
I frequent the Barclays Center for many of the boxing matches. Always get good seats for a good price!!
Your staff was great as always! Regarding my $15.00 Concession credit, your Manager, I forgot his name was great and worked it out! Amex Lounge staff was great as always!
Had a great time at the event food was good and good prices great service and crowd
Jermell charlo got robbed of his title robbed but other than that it was fun
Great matches at barclays but the judges of the charlo and harrison match need there eyes checked charlo clearly won that fight hands down i hope he appeals the decision get real fair judges next time please.
Great event, the crowd was electric, true boxing fans in the house. Had a great time, will be there for Thurman in jan as well
enjoyed the atmosphere fighters did not show enough savvy.....better fight card next time
Event was lively, full-house and very entertaining! Staff was friendly and accommodating
Took my mom for the first time. Great experience. Awesome bartenders and customer service. Amazing fight and great time overall
I purchased tickets for section 3 and I have to say, the seats were really good. i wasn’t too far and and I was able to see great from where I had the seats. Then they even moved me and my boyfriend to the very front as “seat fillers”. We weren’t going to move because if people came to their seats we would have to move back to our section but we did anyways. We ended up staying on the floor ground front side view for the whole event. Definitely would experience this again. Overall, I enjoyed and recommend to anyone who is thinking about going to the Barclays center to see an event.
great seats the fights were entertaining and the lighting and music was great
Great fights Great crowds Great environment Great experience
Had a great time, only one issue. I, and a bunch of other people, paid good money for those tickets (second row). The Armory staff need to do a better job of keeping people from running in and standing in front of the first row between the seats and the ring. They didn't pay to be there, and it causes the people in my row to have to stand up, causing the people behind me to stand, causing the people behind them to stand.... You can see where this chain reaction is going, and with half of the people intoxicated it will inevitably start a fight. Over all, nice place. Will go again.
This was my husband and I first live boxing event and we loved it. I cnt wait ok there is another boxing event.
Great night of fights and the athletes were friendly with the fans!
