tonites refs..... corrupt??

[champion4ever]

well so far we have seen the ref in the andrade fight "miss" a legitimate knockdown, and the ref in the Ellis fight give 2 long counts to the house fighter. Had this been a Top Rank or Matchroom show, there would already be 30 or more threads talking about Bob or Eddie bribing the refs. But since its a PBC card I only see a few posts, and those are talking about the refs being incompetent, not corrupt.

what a surprise....... or not...........




and for the record, no I dont think Haymon bribed the refs. Nor do I think Bob or Eddie do it either. I just think there are alot of incompetent officials out there, and nobody ever does anything about it. But its just funny how if there is bad officiating on a Top Rank or Matchroom show, its automatically called corruption here. But when it happens on a PBC show then mysteriously its just bad officiating. lol

I agree. The ref in the Davis/Garcia fight was corrupt too.

PBC is dead man. It's just Haymons fighters on Showtime again. Like they were before. Except now they have half of their original dates, the matchups all suck, and PPVs resemble HBO Boxing After Dark telecasts.

Tank just put 19k fans in an arena. That is more than any North American boxer other than Canelo can do.

You may not like the matches but clearly there is a market for them. They are also exploring a streaming deal. Lets see what happens.

obviously the overall point went straight over your head. The post was about the PBC fanboys like yourself, NOT pbc in general. And I dont usually post about incompetent officials because I dont claim that the promoters have anything to do with it (PBC included), because in my opinion they dont. I challenge you to find a single post in my history that ever claims that PBC bribes officials. Hint: You cant.

No it wasnt was you forcing your usual anti PBC agenda. Youre lying again. Pro PBC posters dont just limit complaints to TR and Dazn.

The truth is guys like you do this just with PBC while lying about any fan that doesnt share your anti PBC bias.

I didnt post you accused PBC of bribing officials. I just cant understand how you havent gotten over the past and still push the anti PBC narrative for reasons we have discussed previously.

Come on guys pbc ppv card all 4 boxers undefeated black guys yall know what time it is it ain't rocket science.

I don't know if they selected local refs but they were terrible especially in the Villa fight. In the Andrade fight the ref would not allow no infighting. The second they got close he will be calling break.

I respect you a lot man but this is not a good take.

Everyone in the round-by-round thread was calling that out as blatantly corrupt behavior.

I dont have to bother pushing an anti-PBC agenda. What PBC has done to the sport in the past 5-6 years speaks for itself. Boxing has about as much credibility these days as WWE

They're clearly fixing fights. Refs last night were on the take 100%.

BooBoo trips over his feet every fight, but I'm not sure how this wasn't ruled an obvious KD.

I just dont believe that. I think its incompetence, and "house fighter" bias that causes it. I worked close to 100 shows as a promoter, co-promoter, and site coordinator and never once saw anything even remotely su****ious. Maybe in the 1950s bribing officials was common, but I just dont think it goes on these days. The REAL fix is in the matchmaking.......
