Is it going to be one fight event per month on PPV? Might be understandable inasmuch as people saying they got a large stable, they still need to find dance partners for each of their star fighters.
That's a good start, I must admit. You forgot to mention Edwin De Los Santos. (hmm....I saw it.)
They also have Mean Machine waiting for offers.
Yes, they've got other guys; Butaev being another (I think?). If Puello-GAR is actually happening that's solid as well.
Prospect wise, Curmel is clearly very talented. Intrigued to see who he's matched with on the Tank card.
There's still fights out there that they can make:
Frank Sanchez-Andy Ruiz Jr (not ideal but if they don't want to make that both could be in decent fights as opponents if they win their next)
Morrell against Plant or Plant against Jermall Charlo.
Adames against Jermell Charlo.
Lara against Elijah Garcia.
They're stacked at 154; they've got at least two belts, currently three (Spence, Fundora, Ramos, Lubin, Murtazaliev the IBF champion) - any combination of those depending on where you feel the marquee matchup is and where you want the belts)
Tank against the Cruz-Valenzuela winner at a 138 catchweight.
Cruz-Valenzuela loser against either de los Santos or Gary Antuanne Russell.
Fulton-Figueroa II potentially as a unification at 126 if the cards play out right.

Is PBC still considered having large stable?
If you were with PBC's admin, which available fights would you make next? Just to test the large stable theory.

I'll never understand the my favorite promotion tribalism.
This is not about that really. I don't want PBC to disappear. It's just making me curious how uncle Al will be able to gather all his fighters when most of them prefer to be inactive. He can't rely on the Charlo twins who, whether you believe it or not, are good draws. Thurman, Spence, Adames, Santa Cruz seemed retired, etc.

They have a good number of fighters in their 154-160 stable. Don't know what those guys are doing wasting their primes. Lots of platforms are available now to keep themselves busy. Lubin, Ramos, Jrock, Resendiz, Gausha, Harrison, Castano, Arias, Adames, Trout, Montiel, Derevyanchenko, Hurd, even if only as undercards for main events.
PBC is peppered with fighters in the divisions you mentioned.
There's also Dirrell and Plant. And I can't for the life of me understand why they're dormant
in a sport where you're practically retired at 40.
PBC is no longer in that large stable category. Most of their fighters are inactive, semi-retired or retired.
Charlo twins, for example, can't be forced to fight despite Haymon needing lots of fighters for their Amazon venture.

Is PBC still have a large stable? Or this is no longer true (?)
If you were in their shoes who would you want to come out out of that so-called "large stable"?

I was talking to a well respected trainer I know who's fighter is signed with PBC.
His fighter's been with them for years.
He said his fighter tried calling Al Haymon for a month with no answer.
When he'd usually get a call right back.
The coach's reaction was " it's either really good Or really bad news coming ".
This was before the Amazon deal.
But his fighter's still waiting on a date.

What's next for PBC?
Some of their stars have been taken by Turki and have scheduled fights. Pitbull, Tzsyu, Crawford, Valenzuela, who else?
Once TC was no longer tied to a rematch with Spence, he became a free agent. Hearn has also said that TC isn't contracted with Matchroom.
David Morrell will be on the card too.
I think PBC would just be relegated to one fight event a month. PBC might become Part-time Boxing Champs.
I don't think it's really that bad if their fighters are able to get a chance at that Turki money.
