Remember back in the day when Haymon was signing new boxers every week?
When was the last time he signed a fighter in recent times?
I wonder if fighters are starting to understand that he and his company are going broke?
There was even a post showing a Craigslist ad for PBC's fancy integrated lighting system for sale. I heard they're also trying to sell their fancy stage that they used to use for their shows.
I dont believe for a second, that all these boxers are satisfied with the amount of fights/paydays they get.
Just take a look at the rooster:

Eleider Alvarez
Jose Pedraza
Jermell Charlo
Anthony Dirrell
Vanes Martirosyan
Mickey Bey
Julian Williams
Paul Malignaggi
Tony Harrison
Andre Dirrell
Gary Russell Jr.
Andre Berto
Badou Jack
Steve Cunningham
Austin Trout
Anthony Joshua

Deontay Wilder
Robert Easter Jr.
Sammy Vazquez
Sergiy Derevyanchenko
Thomas Williams Jr.
Even if we dont know anything about the business numbers of PBC, all signs lead us to believe, that PBC is done.
Boxing is in shambles at the moment. How can you expect the sport to grow, when most of the marquee fighters only fight once per year.
We don't know if this is self-imposed inactivity or whether Haymon simply ran out of funds to continue overpaying them. If it's the latter, then it would take probably another year of inactivity before seeing them complain.

Don't know what exactly you meant there. But based on those number of fighters, I can agree that they can't all possibly be in sync in preferring to fight less than twice a year or not fight at all. It's also possible they were offered fights, but rejected them because the risks involved doesn't tally with the pay, ie, fighting a tougher opponent should double or triple the expected paycheck.

Who are you talking about exactly? Names please.
You want names?
"Yet there are a whole bunch of top fighters aligned with PBC who have only fought once this year who are in need of bouts. They include Daniel Jacobs, Garcia, Thurman, Shawn Porter, Adonis Stevenson, Andre Berto, Jermall Charlo, Jermell Charlo, Julian Williams, Erislandy Lara, Vanes Martirosyan, James DeGale, Badou Jack, Anthony Dirrell, Andre Dirrell, Austin Trout, Adrien Broner, Rances Barthelemy, Gary Russell Jr., John Molina Jr., Dejan Zlaticanin, Jose Pedraza, Edner Cherry and Lee Selby, among others.
Perhaps some of the fighters have fought only once by design but certainly not all of them or even most of them. But when so much of the money that was once there to bankroll PBC cards is gone, it's hard to keep guys busy at their expected purse level.
There are others who have not fought at all this year, including Peter Quillin, Devon Alexander, Lamont Peterson, Jesus Cuellar and Abner Mares."

Everything is all speculation. No one in the media is interested in straightening it out for us. No one knows why PBC fighters who used to at least fight twice a year suddenly became inactive. Some fought only once and some fought zero times, zero. We're not even talking about prospective fighters, we're talking about fighters who have already been built up and have established name recognition. And when they do come back, stupid fans would give them instant excuse why they need tuneup fights or expect them not to do well due to long layoff as if it's fans fault.

OnePunch made it.
Anyway, I do agree with you. I even mentioned it on another thread. I bet you some of those guys that jumped from GBP to Haymon are probably kicking themselves on the head right now. Those who care about being active and fighting anyway.
Wishful thinking that some white man gonna be your saviour and save Boxing:lame::gives:

You couldn't put this in the other Thread you started about Haymon and PBC you had to start another thread REALLY?
Bungz does as he pleases and I support him.
F*ck off, mate.
Nobody knows how much money the PBC has. Even the haters that write negative things about it don't know. The PBC is the most tightly ran ship in boxing. Nobody knows how much they make from advertising and nobody knows how much Corona is paying to partner up with them. It all sounds like a bunch of wishful thinking to me.
ya i still find it amazing how many writer, youtube channels etc etc alot of which were on gbp payroll through ring mag but none the less always boggled my mind how all these have been trying to kill pbc from within since its inception. its like they are eating themselves cause everyone would of benefited from a pbc run. for whatever reason tho people who hated floyd just shifted their hate to pbc. if pbc does fail people are gonna realize its not a good thing when were seeing one fight a month and everything i ppv
PBC isnt Haymonds money. Hes doing fine. Boxing fans and that investment fund are the ones hurting.
No, he's actually profited massively from his cut of his fighters grossly inflated purses and not lost anything in the process.

What fighter has been kept active by Golden Boy? Alvarez seems able to get fights whenever he wants, and Jorge Linares and his camp have made sure that he keeps busy (with or without TV), but who else?
Without having a reliable TV avenue, Golden Boy can't really do much for the fighters under their banner, let alone other fighters coming under the fold.
