    Any one else see signs of PBC crumbling?

    I mean Wilder complaining about not getting paid on time from his last fight, fighters not getting dates, Broner becoming a full-pleged whistle-blower, young fighters in their prime being put on the shelves for long periods of time...

    Ever wondered if PBC is the only one left for fans to rely on for their weekly fix of boxing events?​

    What I was wondering about was the inactive fighters' situation where some of them have been itching to go back in the ring, but can't because there's no money in the bank.

      Odd Showtime and Paramount are combining but Boxing is getting shafted bad and Fox wants no part of it.

      Sad times for us boxing fans.

      Hope Top Rank And DAZN I hope keeps it a float.

        I think. Fox and Showtime are done with each other

          Well, there might be a time when they'll have no choice but to jump ship like we're seeing now with Broner, Washington, Wilder...

            Who crumbles first, PBC or DAZN?

            Maybe they go down for the count together in a kind of double knockout.

              I don’t think Haymon even cares anymore. He made a fortune paying his fighters peanuts, and now the talent pools are drying up. Showtime doesn’t even bother to try anymore. Mostly mismatches or fights no one cares about.

                With the exception of Jermall Charlo, who is clearly his choice for being inactive, others with long unintended layoffs might be feeling stranded in a traffic they didn't expect to experience. They could be waiting for nothing. Six months of inactivity is long enough, let alone one year or more.

                  How many times have fans, journalists, other promoters, etc written obituaries for PBC over the years?

                  You guys WISH.

                    The money has definitely dried up. I can see them continuing on Showtime but the content has declined in the last few years.
