Look past the dire Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul pay-per-view and Showtime have a good roster of upcoming fights
Beyond Floyd Mayweather s strange mooted outing, PBC get busy with a solid TV schedule on Showtime
SHOWTIME have announced a dreary exhibition of retired boxer versus Youtuber, putting Floyd Mayweather together with Logan Paul for a June 6 pay-per-view in Miami. It continues the worrying trend of novelty boxing.
But beyond that, Showtime nevertheless do have a good roster of actual fights coming up. Even as the sport waits and hopes for the biggest fight, Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury to actually get made, Premier Boxing Champions and Showtime have announced a solid schedule that proves there’s more to life than the heavyweight division.

More than any other time in modern history, any schedule right now still needs to come with a solid knock on wood, but after a very slow run where we got almost nothing of real note in January, the boxing schedule is set to heat up and get really busy in February.
It’s honestly against the odds right now that
every fight on this list will actually happen, but let’s hope!
My picks for the 10 best fights coming in February:
10) Gabriel Flores Jr vs Jayson Velez, Feb. 20 (ESPN)
