          Whoever is calling the shots at Amazon is a complete idiot. Pay for the best fights that fans want and these blood sucking promoters will fall in line. Give an exclusive deal to anyone and you’ll be following the same blueprint that led to HBO and Showtime’s demise. ESPN with their Top Rank exclusive deal is absolute crap, You have to wonder, who are the idiots making decisions at Amazon?

            And PBC was once on Fox which has a ton of NFL games. Yet Haymon and company still managed to underwhelm.
            Underwhelm? Everything continued, grew, or evolved successfully right up until now. And football and boxing were never close to being the same days. Fox wasn't looking to feature the two in a package. It's a "possibility" at Prime. But don't let that stop you looking for shade to throw.

              This dude, who didn’t see it coming? He was giving away showtimes money for four years to pbc for shhht matches and then when the good fights got made they went onto ppv. Of course Al has a job for him, no showtime bih boy, pbc falls on its face first year out the gate.

                No idea why your post only has 3 likes. Boxing would thrive if all the promotions agreed to work togetheron at least unification fights and bouts where the top two in any division are on separate "sides of the street". That cliché about rising tides and boats comes to mind.

                  Canelo is milking the **** out of Showtime and soon Amazon fighting guys coming up 2-3 weight classes and avoiding at all cost fighting the fights everyone wants in Benevidez, Morel, and Bivol. After Crawford I bet you Canelo will fight Claressa Shields. What a ***** scam and fraud Canelo has turned out to be. I say boycott Amazon and get the **** for free with streaming services who pirate the signal.

                  Crawford vs Canelo? Gimme a ***** break. And people wonder why boxing has been in decline for so many years. Haymon and The Weasel in Act II? Real dumb ass exec at Amazon who you can bet Haymon took to the cleaners!!! You would think these idiots would learn from their predecessors mistakes. Not Amazon. They’re giving fans the same old **** just warmed over.

                    The NFL is one of the Kings of sport, and they are on the app too. No shame being on an app. PPV's too if the app has enough reach and partners. Quietly, I keep my favorite NBA and NFL and college games on my tablet (since 2013) with no streaming at all.

                    It's different when someone calls a medium "dead", then proceeds to lose millions on their "new" medium for years. While their competition continues to make millions on the old medium for 8 - 10 more years. Lol!
                    Who made millions?Showtime was bleeding money .Now Amazon is paying absolutely nothing to the pbc.They are the platform and distributor. Period.Please don't compare boxing to the NFL.That's just silly. With only 12 to 14 dates pbc is facing a whole new reality. And it's nothing to celebrate.

                      Trey Shaw, every single post you make on this website is made with racist motives. No exceptions.

                      Admit it. You are the alt of the banned poster Trey Shaw and you’ve been banned here many times for making racist posts. You NEVER deny this. Must be a reason for that. I strongly suspect that this isn’t the first time you’ve been banned and then created an alt. Am I correct?
