PBC set until 2018... now what?

Really? Explain how. PBC is not the one putting average fights on PPV because they can't scrape up the money to air the fights. You're too cowardly to say why you really want PBC to fail. You're too cowardly to say it also, so I'll say it for you. This whole argument about PBC falls into three categories: 1) People who hate what PBC represents because it's run by a black businessman, and consequently will trash it no matter what. 2) People who love what PBC represents because it's run by a black businessman, and consequently will support it no matter what. (That's you) 3) People who just want to see good, competitive fights on a consistent schedule that are well promoted and don't give a tinkers fart about whether the promotional entity is black, white, purple or mauve. (That's me and many others on here) The people that comprise options 1 and 2 are everything that's wrong with boxing today. You will gladly support a racially motivated agenda instead of what's actually good for the sport. You are insinuating that PBC only gets hate because of race issues. For most of us, it has nothing to do with that. Maybe you're too much of a fairweather fan to remember that guys like Arum would get the same **** for not making competitive fights between the guys in his stable when Top Rank had more clout (hell he's still getting it today with Crawford/Pac and rightly so). The difference is, Arum doesn't have 90 percent of the top guys right now, Haymon does. He's also the one with the most ability to effect positive change in a sport that badly needs it. If he really wanted to do so, we would have seen many, many more competitive matchups over the past year. But it's OK. Keep defending these poor business decisions. Meanwhile, the UFC 205 has just broken the existing MSG gate record and no one knows/cares that boxing's biggest fight for an arguable P4P top spot is taking place in November. Last one out, turn out the lights. :blackeye:

pbc's done my friends. its just going to be dead air for those time slots

Whether you like PBC or not it's free boxing on TV at the end of the day. Like I always say fans need to lower their expectations and appreciate the randomness of the fights. Stop expecting the winner of a certain fight, for example, to see him often or fight another winner in another fight. It doesn't work that way. Or else you will get disappointed. You may never see him in another year or fight a fighter you won't recognize. In my case, I just root for the underdog and look for upsets. It rarely happens but when it does, it's fun to watch.

pretty depressing all the idiots celebrating that pbc is here to stay. Do you guys want the sport to completely die or something, cause thats what PBC is, is a tumour thats sucking all the life and energy out of the sport Without PBC all there is crappy HBO. That'd really be sad.

They're all Showtime dates now... all their free big time boxing on the channels they paid for is dwindling out. Those are good fights on Showtime... those channels he had are gone. Soon it'll be restricted to Showtime budgets.

I don't give a crap about the success or failure of ANY promotion company, just give us good fights. If you can, please stay. If you can't, then GTFO.

Wasn't it supposed to have shut down by now?

So sad it doesn't get the support of boxing fans. You got media mbers like Dan Rafael and Steve Kim who influence fans not to support PBC. I just don't see HBO or any other promoters doing anything special at the moment. So why all the hate on PBC?
