PBC: Corner to Corner is a one-hour show with an inside look at the lives of boxers Danny Garcia, Lamont Peterson, Andy Lee and Peter Quillin, as they prepare for their PBC on NBC debut on Saturday, April 11 at 8:30 p.m. ET live from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
The PBC: Corner to Corner specials featuring in-depth profiles of the boxers will air on NBCSN leading into each of NBC’s primetime PBC shows.
Highlights from each boxer’s story in this week’s episode include:
DANNY GARCIA: The show visits Garcia at his Philadelphia, Pa., boxing gym, decorated with the flag of his family’s native Puerto Rico. He is close to his family, sharing a home with his mother, his father Angel Garcia, who trains him, and his younger twin sisters. Garcia has helped stimulate the economy and provide jobs in his north Philadelphia neighborhood by opening a compound that includes a gym, auto detailer and a barber shop.
LAMONT PETERSON: Peterson met Barry Hunter, his trainer of more than 20 years, when he was 10 years old at his local Washington, D.C., boxing gym. Hunter took Peterson and his younger brother Anthony, who were homeless at the time, under his wing, acting as a father figure and mentoring them through their journeys to become professional boxers. The profile also details Peterson’s relationship with his daughter Summer, who motivates him to keep working in the gym and the ring.
ANDY LEE: Ireland-born Lee trained with famed boxer and trainer Emanuel Steward in Detroit, Mich., before Steward’s passing. Now, Lee carries Steward’s memory with him into the ring. Despite being known for his 24 knockouts in 36 fights, Lee’s current trainer Adam Booth has helped build him into a technical boxer.
PETER QUILLIN: Although Quillin considers Brooklyn home, he conducts his strict training program out of Santa Monica, Calif., in order to eliminate distractions. Quillin is passionate about mentoring and inspiring kids, often inviting them into his gym to offer guidance and encouragement.
