That's what happens when you keep feeding the public the same garbage over and over, the same PBC fighters fighting each other, no caucasian fighters, hardly any Boricuas, just african americans and Cubans, CBS, FOX, SHO they all ran away from Al pushing that SOS down their throat.

WTF are you talking about? Nobody is getting more of a push than Caleb, Vito and Joey Spencer. LSC named his son after Al. Issac Cruz is getting primed for his second PPV. I swear ya just say anything!!

The only good thing about all this, to me, is i don't have to hear used-car-salesman-type Mauro Ranallo anymore. hes still trying to sell the fight as it happens.

And, i just read he signed a deal with WWE. That's a better fit for him. haha

Damn! First HBO, now Showtime⦠man the best memories I have of boxing are from these 2. This bites A$$!

Once Haymon was in charge of setting up mismatches HBO and now Showtime left boxing

Espn has boxing on their platform but they're not interested in putting the biggest boxing promotional company on their network. 10-4

They already worked with Haymon before and it was a disaster.

Al bernstein is as good as it gets and steve farwood has good insight. not sure if they get hired again on a new platform.

The only upside to SHO was seeing the PPV fights the week after for free. Otherwise, their network fights were scarce and often times mismatches. The demand for boxing isn't what it was a decade or more prior.

Al Haymon's PBC is in talks with amazon prime. The man can't be stopped

Boxing has always had it's ups and downs. The sport will bounce back like it has many times in the past. Wake up calls are a part of life and these current promoters and fighters will have to adjust. The PPV model needs to go back to it's origins of mega fights only. Fighters need to be more active and more reasonable. Obviously the most money with the least risk makes sense in business but this is the fight game. Dudes like Haymon need to realize this. We don't just want to see the best fighters but we want the best fights. Period!
