    What happened with that anyway... kinda silently dropped the hyperbole
    DAZN was about killing the PPV model, not PBC.

      I think the cancer to PBC is Floyd. He must be their adviser in some capacity. I wouldn't be surprised if he's sabotaging Gervonta's career intentionally because of his ego. Davis is the best fighter PBC has, bar none, and he's rotting from inactivity. Someone like him should fight at least 4 times a year.

      My info was Davis was fighting on February 20 this year, it's now April?

      Fuck him for not speaking up for himself. Fuck Floyd and Al Haymon, as well, with their politics.

        Yeah it was funny how a few years back PBC would announce a shit fight and people would defend it "but it's on FREE TV, boxing is FREE this saves the sport everybody will watch THANK YOU Haymon for Dirrell vs Truax"

          Thought some of you wanted them to go away well here you go! lol

          No but seriously, of course more announcements of fights are coming unfortunately with announcements taking so long most of these guys probably will only fight 1 time this year maybe twice if they're lucky. Need another Network and/or APP or something they have a HUGE Roster but just not enough dates to keep everybody active

          Something is going on though, either working out a new deal or looking to do business with a APP or another Network we just have to wait and see. You hold off the Big Fights until one of these Networks give in and give you the deal you want is what I think might be going on here which sucks for us fans. Maybe they work something out with FOX or they don't and they end their deal with FOX and do something Viacom/CBS

          Everybody kind of went quiet including the Mayweather vs Paul stuff which tells me something being worked on

            The bold: You are most probably right.

            The last time I saw Davis he was practically begging his promoter to keep him active and give him a date and name so he could get in camp. That was beginning this year. Not even sure about the Barrios fight anymore.

            Haymon should get his crap together.

              They should've let someone like DiBella run PBC instead of all these incompetent yes men. Can't understand the goal of this BS organization. Over 300 fighters with no dates or clear gameplan. How do these fighters agree to sit around?

              I bet if Arum had all these fighters, he and his fighters would be set for life, making great inhouse fights, let alone working with other promoters. Not a fan of Arum or saying he's honest or anything close. The thing is, tho, Arum is actually a boxing fan first, so is Oscar. Haymon is a pure businessman. I think he's only out for himself.

              Name fighters should speak out about this or leave to find better arrangements to develop and perfect their skills to reach the highest heights (like Floyd did). It doesn't seem possible with Haymon's org. Money ain't everything.

                  No major fight scheduled yet for PBC.
                  Thurman, Porter, Ugas, Kownacki, Martin, Luis Ortiz...
                  Seems PBC is on the verge of closing shop.
                  What's happening?

                    Thank you for plant vs truax, dirrell vs davis, broner vs santiago, lara vs cornflake, ruiz vs arreola, benavidez vs ellis, harrison vs perella. Great headliners lol.

                    The other thing that pbc still hasnt fixed is that they dont have a spokesperson. Think about hearn want you want, but he keeps the media and fans constantly engaged.

                    With PBC you just get some random fights announced at some point. No talk about future plans and stuff. No fight leads naturally to other big fights.
