PBC = Part-time Boxing Champions

Let's just hope things will get better this year. So, ladies, get your pens and paper and start writing every fight fans get to see starting from what... Jan 20: Spence vs Peterson Easter vs Fortuna What else?

Danny Swift and Spence are now fighting once a year. Who's next?

Absolutely no reason why all the PBC 154 pounders cant fight each other in 2018 with at least 2 fights each. Oh wait, there is a reason, Al "Using Boxing to Launder Money" Haymon. It's clear these pathetic inactive fighters love fighting nobodies and long vacations. I don't see them complaining.

So Danny Swift Garcia officially becomes a 1-fight-a-year fighter this year, just like Spence. Swift gets his first loss and he's not even interested in making a comeback. Pathetic boxing champions.

Absolutely no reason why Lara vs Jermell can't happen in 2018.

It's getting worse not better. We'll see how it goes next year doe.

With Spence becoming another 1 fight/year fighter, the future is bleak for this sport. It's getting worse not better.

Spence vs Peterson. Both are inactive. But I'd love to see an upset. Or twelve gruelling rounds will do it for me. Fans need to see inactivity takes a huge toll on both fighters.

I'm a huge of the PBC concept but boy I hate the fact that they never keep their big name stars active enough for them to build any following from casual fans, people forget who you are if they only see you once a year and all the fan base you build gets crumbled down by inactivity, plus u can't stay sharp and in shape if u take a year off, u will be rusty and you won't perform at your best.

With Spence becoming another 1 fight/year fighter, the future is bleak for this sport.

Any more inactive fighter you want to see humiliated and finally think of retiring? just any of them really inactivity kills

Lara is fighting Castano next. Another nobody. Andrade and Charlo were available in October and they would rather pit him against a guy named Gausha, after long months of inactivity. It's terrible. I don't know why these people are in the business.

I've just gone through their official 2017 schedule and their match ups have been terrible. Apart from 5 relevant bouts, the rest of the fights were either up and comer against semi retired pro or journeyman or between 2 guys well past it/has beens. It is just a horrendous way of running a so called boxing promotion. On top of that, I'm not even sure how many of their fights were televised and those that were, most were televised on random unknown channels. What a shambles.

Really holding the sport back.

I'm sure even a mediocre Vargas would be ducked mercilessly by these part-time boxers. Expect to see him with semi-retired Collazo, or F Diaz, you know, disposable guys. Can't believe Collazo and Diaz have disappeared also languishing in their shelves. Vargas vs Swift or one of these PBC part-timers woud be far from happening.

Jesse vargas signed with him lol Now haymon just going to feed vargas to the wolves Vargas hasn't fought in over a year, so at least he's already accustomed to the PBC schedule.

I've been hopeful this year and had hoped to see fights like Lara vs Charlo1 or Lara vs Andrade, Jacobs vs Charlo2, Swift vs Porter, Adonis vs a live body, Spence fighting in Sept or October, Khan coming out of retirement, etc. Mikey still has no fight scheduled yet even though he wants to fight 3 times a year. PBC/SHO have been wasting these guys' prime years and made them inactive.

I remember the usual suspects on here invading a thread about how PBC didnt have many dates in 2016 and would be just as bare in 2017...they hammered that thread but this has been the worst year yet. In a shorter period of time, Arum has taken truly high class boxing to ESPN and shown Haymon how to do it. PBC is a **** show and in all honesty, probably a front for Haymon.
