Instead of just putting on random fights, PBC should be a tournament style deal. It would make for way better fights and entertainment value. PBC has the $ to make pbc more like the ufc which seems to draw more casual fans because each fight serves a purpose. Not just 2 randoms fighting to pad one guys undefeated record.
It's a shame that with all the $ behind the PBC that they cant sit down and figure out how to do a bellator style tournament for every weight class. It would make things interesting.
They should have been just like bellator and do four man tournaments over the course of a few months, winners been crowned champ, and then have 4 man tournaments to crown mandatories.
It has worked great for bellator and could easily be replicated by PBC..
Imagine had a welter tourney,,, garcia-khan 2, thurman-Porter,, winners meet.. Winner of that would be champ.. They could have easily done tournaments for 140, 147, 154, 160, etc..
Then pbc could have seperated itself from sanctioning bodies and boxing politics
Bellator used to be good with tournaments. I was hoping from the beginning that PBC would try to employ a similar strategy on SPIKE, especially with prospects. Combat sports are so unpredictable though.
I see too many problems with a tournament format in such a rough sport & a sport where injuries often occur to push back fights. I think competitive fights is a good enough goal to work for in boxing & its what the UFC excels at more than their tournament format from back in the day.
I'd enjoy the tournament format more for up & coming guys 6-8 round guys or newly 10 round fighters doe.
The super six went off great.
