    It's clear to me that Haymon wants to create a business model based on the UFC. Sure, it may seem like the last thing boxing needs is more belts, but the more fighters Haymon signs, the more people will realise that to fight the best fighters, you will have to sign with Haymon. This will render most of the alphabet titles worthless (in the US at least) because all the top guys will be in Haymon's "UBC". Sanctioning fees will decrease so everyone else gets a bigger slice of the purse alas, everyone is happy

      It would be a joke many will consider the PBC title the paper title. What is this WWE ?

        It's a good idea on their part.

          How well do you think they will fit in with the current belts as far as prestige goes when it comes to title belts?

          I think it'll work flawlessly due to the sheer amount of fighters that fight under the PBC banner. Everyone is gonna want a crack at those belts imo.
          is there a source to this or just heir say?

              This is pure conjecture or your part, without even a hint of a effort to back your point with any evidence. sad yet hilarious.

                only an American promoter could come up with that idea

                  I like the idea because it will eliminate confusion for the new boxing audience.

                    It's a terrible idea. Less than half the boxing world would be competing for the belts and half the divisions aren't even featured on PBC. What kind of system is that? Best case scenario (for the belts) is that everyone gets on board and starts signing with Haymon to get a chance at the belt, then we have a monopoly in boxing and no one benefits from that.

                    I put in this in an earlier post when (shockingly) same the poster was talking about how great this would be in another thread.
                    This would be the champion landscape right now:
                    HW- Deontay Wilder
                    CW- Division doesn't exist in PBC
                    LHW- Adonis Stevenson
                    SMW- Badou Jack
                    MW-Peter Quillin
                    JMW- Erislandy Lara
                    WW-Floyd Mayweather (more likely Keith Thurman bc Floyd isn't actually on PBC)
                    JWW- Adrien Broner
                    LW-Mickey Bey
                    JLW- Division doesn't exist in PBC
                    FW- Gary Russell
                    JFW- Leo Santa Cruz
                    BW- Tomoki Kameda
                    JBW- Division doesn't exist in PBC
                    FW-Division doesn't exist in PBC
                    SW-Division doesn't exist in PBC

                      SW-Division doesn't exist in PBC
                      Andy Lee, Antonio DeMarco, James DeGale and Ricky Burns aren't PBC fighters.

                      The recognized PBC champion doesn't have to sign with Haymon.
