In three days, on Saturday, June 20 at 8:30 p.m. ET, PBC on NBC returns to primetime at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nev., featuring a highly-anticipated showdown between former titleholders Adrien "The Problem" Broner (30-1, 22 KOs) and "Showtime" Shawn Porter (25-1-1, 16 KOs), fighting at a catchweight of 144lbs. Coverage begins with the undefeated Errol Spence Jr. (16-0, 13 KOs) vs. hard-hitting veteran Roberto "La Amenaza" Garcia (37-3, 23 KOs) in a welterweight bout.
Blow-by-blow announcer Marv Albert, and analysts "Sugar" Ray Leonard and B.J. Flores call the action. Al Michaels hosts, current middleweight titleholder Daniel Jacobs serves as a corner analyst in his primetime PBC on NBC debut, and Kenny Rice reports from ring-side. After the NBC show, live boxing continues on NBCSN at 11 p.m. ET. DANIEL JACOBS MAKES PRIMETIME PBC ON NBC DEBUT Current middleweight titleholder Daniel Jacobs (29-1-0, 26 KOs), previews Saturday's NBC bouts and his primetime broadcast debut: On Garcia-Spence: "This fight, for both guys, is the hump in their careers. Both guys have to win this fight in order to get into title contention. This fight is the stepping stone - with primetime exposure - to be recognized as top contenders in their division." On Broner-Porter: "This fight is extremely interesting because I've known both guys since the amateurs, and I consider both to be my friends. It'll be hard to see them go at it - but this is boxing. I've fought friends before myself, so it's nothing that we're not used to. It's also interesting, because both guys are from the same state and have been raised in the same boxing programs. When you make it to this level - when both guys have been world champions - it's very rare to have guys from the same place fight each other. Stylistically, I'm thinking this fight is destined for greatness. This will be one of the best PBC matchups that we've seen thus far. I'm sure the fans feel the same way."Videos
