    Credit to PBC/Haymon.

    Honestly not their biggest fans for preventing certain fights that us fight fan wanted, and instead giving us alternatives etc

    But in the space of TWO weeks AL and PBC have taken silent steps but EFFECTIVE steps in snatching Fury under the noses of Joshua, and Pacman under the nose of Crawford.

    As much as I want undisputed fights, if you have a clause in a contract that hasn’t expired (Arum) then you should honour it.

    And Arum inability to land Crawford the Pacman fight must be a kick in the teeth with Pacman now fighting Spence.

    Both above match ups are good alternatives, better than watching Spence v Mikey Garcia or Wilder v Ortiz 3.

    So all in all, credit to AL and PBC, just wish they work more with other promoters, make offers to other boxers for their fighters etc Because that’s what they use to do when they first started, that was the PBC that I used to support, until they started this new model around 2018.

    this is a fairly based post that wont get love because youre giving props to the pbc...but then it gets lost at the end....but youre right props to them...arum was the one out there talking "big annoucement" and teasing pac/bud in saudi arabia or wherever....where spence was talking ugas and maybe thurman or whatever....and in the end who actually gets it done? yup....

    heres reality though "until they started this new model"...they didnt start the model..not even close.....arum has been running the game for years....he was the king of it....the reality is none of these promoters want to work with each other unless they really have to...thats how they all really feel tbh.....but bob was the king of that stuff....bob isnt out there making offers to pbc fighters to come fight bud....bob only wants to work with haymon if its something like bud/spence or fury/wilder...hes not out there making legit offers to thurman, porter etc....

    when team wilder wanted an immediate rematch with fury what happened? bob put it on the backburner for a year when there was immediate demand....and haymon had to scramble to find a semi interesting fight in an ortiz rematch...which most of the scene said they wanted until it was made and they said "this fight sucks nobody wants this"...before that it was all about how wilder got garbage extra time and was almost knocked out lol....i dont think al really wanted that fight all that much but bob arum forced his hand...

    oscar has had public spats with ryan garcia and lost canelo....bob lost mikey...bob has had spats with crawford in the media....teo also.....you dont see any of these guys talking or complaining about money with haymon...or leaving him...and the one time a fighter of haymons was presented with a really good deal from someone else(hearn/dazn) he told danny jacobs to go take it

    do you think for one second if bob had als WW roster and al had bobs...that bob wouldnt be doing the exact same thing? of course he would...people need to stop trying to blame the pbc for boxings issues and fights not being made....they didnt invent the "model"

    the pbc isnt going away no matter how many guys here try to wish it...haymon hasnt lost any power and he hasnt lost any influence....the fighters love him and hes getting his guys money and there are basically no complaints from any of his guys ever

      Haymon is the only promoter in boxing bringing good fights, but if you are on the outside he will do everything he can to shut you out. If I was a fighter I'd sign with Haymon.
