WOW! PBC has burned thorugh 143M dollars, investors lose 27.5% of its value!

So this thread is staying active because 2 people going back and forth about it?

Nobody gives a ****! If you want PBC to fail the best way to do that would be to Not Watch and Not Talk About it Right? Just Saying!

I doubt Haymon needs or will take business advice from any of us who never build a successful Business or successful Brand. PBC is in its very early stages right now. All we can do is WAIT AND SEE! Stop trying to predict the future and speak in absolutes like you know for sure how this thing will turn out...Because You Don't! It could work with some adjustments, or it could fail and he just goes back to the old Showtime and PPV's Formats.

See but that was kind of my original point 50 posts and a week ago with this guy. It will succeed or fail because their method works or it doesn't. It isn't that crucial, but if dude wants to run his mouth to me which he has done repeatedly trying to sound like he has a clue then **** it.

I haven't had to change my stance once in this thread though~

If it fails, there is going to be a whole crop of top level talent with unrealistic expectations of their earning potentials because they have not been earning fair market value, and have been getting paid bloated numbers so Al can line his pockets.

Then those guys will be gone from the sport essentially, and new guys will take over~ or if they are worth it they will get paid accordingly or they will adjust accordingly.

Not really an issue.

Nah, they'll be no TV time for all of them, and they'll realize they need to take less.

Also, these guys aren't very smart, they'll need that next paycheck. They won't hold out for long even if they wanted to.

What would be an issue?

Really? How many fighters have we seen sit out for loooong stretches of time because of greed and they thought they were getting underpaid?

Mikey Garcia? Andre Ward? Yuriorkis Gamboa? James Kirkland? There are so many more too... So many good fights could have been made, and that's before you had guys that should have been getting 150k paydays, getting 1.5m paydays.

What would be an issue?

The fact that capital investment for the sport would be at an all time low and future investment in the sport would be unlikely at best. With the premium budgets continuing to drop, the purses would drop making the attraction of real athletic talent less and less likely.

With the sport becoming so small and insignificant that the doctors eventually get their way with boxing being gone entirely~

Money makes the world go around, growing purses is not a bad thing shrinking purses are~

And how did that work out for any of them?
