      It's a shame. Their production and 24/7 shows were top notch. I thought PBC might lure them back in but seems not.

        PBC no platform 200 plus fighter while DAZN 4.2 billion over budget and needs content. DAZN would be ****** to go in business with him but it would logic to buy his fighters for X amount of guaranteed cards with 51/49 veto power. This is important bc Haymon will line up BS fights. They were just stuck in a situation with GGG and his equity, not wanting to fight anymore.

          Fans no longer see any relevance to this question. They only get to watch what is fed to them anyways. Fighters and promoters are getting greedier and greedier. I don't see any platform or network staying longer in this full-blown business. They may stay but I don't see them making decent number of fights on a regular basis.

            People were writing PBC's obituary years ago. Then they announced a massive deal.

            Same thing will happen this time - say what you want about Haymon, but he spends his time making moves instead of running his mouth to reporters.

Fighters whose next fights are way overdue; Ennis, Charlo, Stanionis, Crowley, Thurman, Santa Cruz, etc. Can't even remember these guys' last fights.. One network is not enough.
              They're all approaching one-fight-a-year status. It's a business bro.

                regardless he has an inventory of fighters who are literally fighting 1 time per year. didn't a father-son combo just say it was a 360 with no guarantees and giving Haymon 100% of your intellectual rights?

                  I'm not sure what your argument here is - no promoter in boxing has as extensive a track record for getting his fighters paid and taken care of, usually utterly overpaid, like Haymon does.

                  His notable fighters fight one time a year, often easy fights, and are overpaid to do so. What a terrible setup for the fighters.

                    since when is not talking to the media a good trait for a promoter?

                      as long as mayweather is around and is tied with pbc, they'llg et networks backing them. if not any network in the US, they could get international deals with networks like Bein sports.
