Pabst Blue Ribbon Bouts was a television program that broadcast boxing matches from New York's Madison Square Garden featuring Russ Hodges, Jack Drees, and Bill Nimmo.
Kinescopes of some of these matches were later re-broadcast under the title "Blue Ribbon Classics." In recent years, ESPN Classic has aired some of the bouts. Most Pabst Blue Ribbon fights can be viewed at TVS Boxing.Net.
