The second go-round with Premier Boxing Champions on NBC came and went Saturday night from Brooklyn, New York, with a pair of compelling 12-round fights, a pair of decisions that became instant fodder for the Twitterverse and another broadcast that had its high and low moments.
The announced paid attendance at the Barclays Center was 12,300.
Andy Lee and Peter Quillin went the distance in what became a non-title bout when Quillin failed to make 160 pounds on Friday, and they were followed by reigning 140-pound champions Danny Garcia and Lamont Peterson getting together in an over-the-weight bout that could spawn another.
It was a step up in fight quality after last month’s debut broadcast featured Adrien Broner’s prolonged outclassing of John Molina Jr. and Keith Thurman’s largely dominant thrashing of a game but outgunned Robert Guerrero. The PBC series moves to Spike TV on April 24 for a two-bout show featuring Andre Dirrell against Badou Jack and Daniel Jacobs versus Caleb Truax.
