    never? hes just a boxing troll. he is actively avoiding everyone good and trying to fight blind guys like abner mares and bums like romero who get gift decision against random unknowns. its embarassing but so is boxing so its actually compelling seeing how long the grift can go

      The fact that you started off with PBC/TMT lets me know exactly where you're coming from. I know I know...it's all gravy. Haymon did not start a BLACK boxing company, he started a movement that gave underpriveleged fighters (black brown white asian) an upperhand in the game because King, Bob and Oscar were treating them like shyte. Julian and Jarrett didnt get exposed because of their weaknesses...they followed the NO DEFENSE ALL WAR style and they are now punch drunk for life...you're showing an inferiority complex when you say it only applies when the black fighter is the favorite,,,I traveled from DC to NY when our favorite DC fighter Derrell Coley fought ODLH and he got knocked out by a body shot. The mexican (ODLH is american) was clearly the favorite and I rooted for my DC man and still loved DLH after that.
      on a macro level pbc is and was a farce. their whole marketing gimmick was free boxing...and now every decent fight or star fighter is on ppv. you would think people would be upset at the grift, but instead they are mad at people for pointing out its a grift. puzzling. on a micro level its great some people got a lot of money but at the same time haymon cost some guys a lot of money like wilder when he tricked him into losing 100 million. he wasnt doing what is best for them, he was doing what he thought was best for the pbc brand

He just fed two of these so called 'no hope' hispanic fighters to Jarrett Hurd and Julian Williams, how'd that work out. Give Cruz a chance, that lil essay can ****! The truth is the backbone of finacially successful American boxing is black v mexican. He has a chance just like Caleb has a chance. I remember being at a fight party talking a rack of shyte to an Antonio Tarver fan right before he knocked RJJ the fuq out. Shocked the shyte out of me. So don't count him out yet. He has a chance!!!
          Good post! How can Pitbull be a "nobody?" He is IBF#2, 22-1 w/ 15 KOs! He's a brawler too, very fan-friendly! I would think the typical Mexican boxing fan would love Pitbull? That being said, I hope Tank does fight GRJ, Chris Colbert, or Regis Prograis, SOON! Floyd, let some Brothers eat too! Lol!

            I feel your pain, and your anger is understandable! Just make sure you keep that same energy for Top Rank, Matchroom, etc. Already Hearn is saying DAZN will have to do PPVs for the "Big" fights! Arum already told us there's no way he could do Crawford vs. Porter, or Spence vs. Crawford without PPV. So if PBC is a farce, basically the whole entire sport is a farce too!

            Hearn Explains Why Pay-Per-View Will Be Needed on DAZN For Unique Events

            Promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom has admitted that it's "inevitable" that DAZN will introduce a pay-per-view model - which means the steaming platform is going to charge fees outside of their monthly subscription rates.


            Arum: We're Gonna Try To Keep The Pay-Per-View Price For Crawford-Porter Reasonable

            Bob Arum hopes skeptical boxing fans understand that pay-per-view is the only economic model that would’ve worked while putting together the Terence Crawford-Shawn Porter fight.

              Any truth in the rumours that the WBC are bringing out yet another weight class, and that these two are fighting for the inaugural WBC midgetweight title ?

                  A lot of posters judge Tanks opposition based on his being promoted by Floyd and managed by Haymon. If Loma or Teo were fighting Cruz they’d be fine with it.

                    Just wish TMT believed in "Tank" to challenge his talent.

                    The POOL of opportunities/opponents is DEEP around his weight class.
                    Yep, and right now Tank is the king of the kiddie pool.
                    Floyd is afraid to let him swim in the deep end.
