    What's up with the PBC?

    I'm not trying to get those "Al Haymon is the cancer of boxing" or the clearly racist types going but obviously something is going on. Not many dates, crappy main events and a lame ass $50 PPV. Something seems off to me...

        Who knows, but Arreola and Ruiz on ppv is not a good look at all. We're almost through the 1st quarter, hopefully they announce their lineup soon.

        Could be they've been busy with ESPN planning Wilder-Fury 3.

          Yeah, it's gotten to the point where neither Showtime or FOX have good cards anymore and the only decent stuff ends up on PPV, not sure where this will ultimately lead though

            They're serving up a lot of crap, that's for sure.

            Instead of turning out stars Al Haymon is killing all momentum for his stable right now.

                    Cults dont usually have a long life span. Inhouse fights where you don't have to financially compete against rival promoters will eventually run out of match ups and ppl don't want to see rematches of one sided fights.

                    ​​​​​​Master Al is going to have to start dealing with Matchroom and Top Rank fighters more which means competing with or conceding financially to thiet promoters and their finances
                    ​​​​ Basically he is going to have to start risking his champions against threats that he doesn't control.

                    As for Ruiz v Arreola as a PPV, well who knows what they are thinking there. That's just pure madness or pure greed. Personally I think Ruiz thinks he is deserving of the kind of money he got from the Joshua fights. Why Master Al wouldn't just tell him that is a ridiculous thought process and get on with it is beyond me.
