Prime Video and Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) announced a landmark, multiyear rights agreement to deliver boxing events, with year-round access to fights and other boxing-related programming. PBC features over 150 active fighters across various weight divisions, including top contenders and current world champions.

Prime Video will distribute PBC’s pay-per-view (PPV) events in the U.S, with the first event anticipated for March 2024. PBC PPV fights will be available for all viewers to purchase, regardless of Prime membership. Additionally, in the U.S. and select countries, Prime Video will exclusively stream a PBC Championship Boxing series of events, showcasing top matchups among boxing’s current and rising stars.
