UFC/Endeavor Meet With Haymon Over PBC

Two years after Zuffa Boxing was announced but never fulfilled, the parent company of the UFC, Endeavor, and Dana White are looking into a purchase of Al Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions.

PBC, which features both unified world heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz Jr and WBC world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, as well as welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao, have lucrative television contracts with both Showtime and FOX Sports, both of which have a complex history with White.

“Rumors are true,” wrote The Athletic’s Mike Coppinger.

“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.”

White has alleged huge news surrounding a boxing promotion later this year, after numerous delays in launching a boxing brand following the UFC’s association with Conor McGregor’s 2017 boxing debut against Floyd Mayweather
