Why do people keep thinking A-sides will cross the street for one fight?

Cool so they won't accept fight offers and they won't send any offers but at the same time they will get their fighters to say they want to fight all these guys they are refusing to and not making offers to fight. PBC does things the right way. They go to purse bid. They know Canelo isn't going to voluntarily fight off of DAZN, so they waited for Charlo's mandatory shot and if DAZN wants Charlo, they can win the purse bid. So if you're going to blame anyone, blame Canelo for vacating. Just like when everyone complained about the situation with Stevenson and Kovalev. PBC knew Kovalev wouldn't voluntarily fight off of HBO, so they waited for it to be mandatory and if HBO wanted the fight, they can win the purse bid. If you're going to blame anyone, blame Kovalev for vacating.

Why would PBC send offers they know there's no chance will be accepted? Hearn sends offers he knows there's no chance will be accepted because he's doing it to brainwash his fans. PBC doesn't waste time with that kind of stuff, so there's no reason. When GGG was looking for a home, PBC made him a lucrative offer. DAZN made a better offer, so he went to DAZN. He's not looking for a home right now, so why make him offers there's no chance he'll accept? Cool so they won't accept fight offers and they won't send any offers but at the same time they will get their fighters to say they want to fight all these guys they are refusing to and not making offers to fight.

I understand what you're saying. I just wonder what would have happened if we had these same political hurdles back in the day. For example, what if Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier were on DAZN and ESPN respectively? Would the fight simply not happen? I'm not saying I have all the answers but it's disheartening to think that certain legacy-defining fights simply can't happen. Oh well, I guess that comes with the territory these days. The fans have themselves to blame for accepting championships that were created out of thin air like the WBO title. The more organizations that are recognized, the easier it is for people to hide in their own sandbox. That is the #1 problem. Nobody has to work together because there are enough belts for everyone to have their own. In the days of Ali and Frazier, if you wanted to be the champion, you had to fight the champion. So the current problem wasn't possible.

There's only been two ever in history. We're about to have our third, which is a fight that was already supposed to happen before Arum swooped in and convinced Fury to delay it. So it didn't have the same political hurdles because Fury only signed with Top Rank on the condition that they couldn't block a Wilder rematch. It's very very rare that a joint PPV makes sense. DAZN doesn't even do PPV, so how do you do a joint PPV with them? I understand what you're saying. I just wonder what would have happened if we had these same political hurdles back in the day.

What about joint PPV's? There's only been two ever in history.

the more things change the more they stay the same for pbc fan boys. Any fight can be made if both guys have the guts. isnt fury fighting wilder on feb 22?

Since DAZN launched, how many fights have Canelo, Joshua or GGG had on ESPN, Fox or Showtime? Since Top Rank moved to ESPN, how many fights have Crawford or Lomachenko had on DAZN, Fox or Showtime? Since PBC launched, how many fights have Wilder, Spence, Thurman, the Charlos, Broner, etc had on DAZN or ESPN? There are three universes in US boxing right now. Sometimes fighters will switch sides when their contract expires. Sometimes lesser fighters will be brought to the other side to be the opponent for a bigger star. But nobody's top stars are going to entertain one off offers to be the opponent for someone else. So you guys can cry about it every day until the end of time, or start getting realistic about which fights are and are not possible. What about joint PPV's? Assuming there is enough money in the pot to satisfy all parties. I would assume that's possible since we are getting the Wilder-Fury rematch.

Call me a dreamer but I have a hard accepting that certain fights simply can't be made. Yes, yes, it's a business first but I think it's a bit short sighted not to make the fights which raise the profile of the sport overall. Obviously I'm no CEO but could we not have had Mikey v Loma on one platform and Spence v Crawford on the other for example?

Thats all well and good but who is it that the PBC are sending fight offers out to? Its no good saying nobody moves. ESPN and DAZN seem to of been sharing recently but the PBC aint making no offers to anybody. I guess the joint PBC/ESPN PPV fight between Wilder and Fury is not real.
