      PBC is dead. No one f-cking cares about them. Crawford and Spence only sold 250k. Ryan sold all the ppvs not Tank. Floyd is broke. Haymon ****s ********. Wilder sucks.

      SHO is about to fold. Canelo is using them. Tanks sales are fake- they give all the tickets away like Floyd does turkeys on thanksgiving.

      Their fans are dumb. They are race driven casuals that spend money on these fights when they could watch Dazn or ESPN fights without PPV.

      The Friday cards with young guys suck. They have no stars. Haymon set Manny up with Ugas. They have fake belts and bad rappers walk their fighters out. They will be dead by the end of 2023.

      edit- PBC is so bad for the sport. Haymon killed boxing on HBO. Haymon cheated Fishnets and stole his fighters. PBC doesnt make cross promotion fights. Haymon is trying to take over the sport.

      Did I miss anything?
      Calm down Ellerbe...

        Al prefers to stay off the grid.

            You know something is definitely wrong when people begin to thank promotional outfits

            SMFH

            I thought this was a boxing site ?

              Probably because uncle Al is doing it for charity. Not really his job to make fights happen.

              People in America always say to any military man, "Thank you for serving our country doe."
              You'd think they're doing it for free.

                It's a toxic back and forth. Not every fact is available for everything that happens in the boxing world, but this fanaticism (which is just the flip side to blind hatred) is part of the problem.

                  Thats blind hatred, when rooted in lies and false narratives, has to be checked.

                  Whenever its checked, the default line is “youre a fanboy” or “ PBC cultists”.

                  What I find curious is the irrational hatred or false narrative is almost never questioned by “objective” fans, but the response from a poster like me is almost always met with a derogatory comment.

                  I’m waiting for the point where the “objective” fans that call out those responses police the hatred and false narratives as quickly as they do the responses.

                    I always do my best to be objective, but I don't have the bandwidth to comment on everything. What I've noticed is that being objective is a loner approach. There's no fan base that's just going to have your back, which is fine by me, but the posts end up flying under the radar and many people think I may be criticizing only the crowd they like.

                      Not a criticism of you. Sorry about that.

                      Very true.
