By Danny Esch: The excitement is continuing to build for next week as “The Sweet Science” that is boxing makes its return to regular broadcast television. Thanks to the brilliant minds at NBC and boxings top adviser Al Haymon the glory days of boxing on “FREE T.V.” will return next week on Saturday March 7th 8:30 p.m. live from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas Nevada.
Two big fights next Friday to set things off will be Broner vs. Molina Jr. and Thurman vs. Guerrero which should both be action packed fights. New to NBC coming tomorrow Wednesday February 25th 2015 is the premier of NBC’s “Corner to Corner” which will probably be an “All Access / 24/7” type of show (time will tell) which is also under the direction of Al Haymon.
I am very interested to see the direction of the show because at the end of the day all of this helps to keep the sport of boxing alive and in the main conversations of popular sports. Information for the public to tune in is below and better ratings means more shows for boxing so tune in tomorrow.
The first episode is a one-hour broadcast exploring the lives of PBC fighters Keith “One Time” Thurman, Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero, Adrien “The Problem” Broner, and John “The Warrior” Molina Jr., as they get ready for the debut of (PBC on NBC), Saturday, March 7 at 8:30pm ET live from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

The debut will take you from St. Petersburg, FL, where Thurman trains, all the way to Los Angeles, to check in on Molina Jr. Stops also include the Broner camp in Cincinnati, and Gilroy, Calif., where Guerrero will show some of his unorthodox training methods.
