Comments Thread For: Tim Tszyu vs. Keith Thurman: PBC on Prime PPV Official For March 30

[Tag, You're Hit]

(d) The WBO may vacate the title of any Champion who conducts a contest in the
Champion’s Weight Division which is not a defense of the title.

Good work, dan-b!

It’s not a bad fight and Rolly vs Pitbull is a decent co-main. Heck, even Zerafa vs Lara as a throwaway filler bout is alright.

The problem is no one was asking for these fights.

If it was "free" (for those with Amazon Prime membership) then it is good enough to make boxing fans who were mulling on getting Prime to consider getting it if they can get this caliber card every so often.

Individual PPV...yeah, seriously...who wanted this???

I didn't bother reading the whole thread, but I think the tons of comments is more negative than positive.

I mean, while skimming I didn't see a whole lot of "OMG I can't wait for this match awesome PBC!" comments but a lot of "what a crap matchup" in here.

And of course you won’t….it involves Al Haymon

So are you telling me there actually is a lot of people super excited for the dream match of Tszyu vs friggin Thurman? Better yet, are you actually happy about this matchup???

Makes you wonder whats the point in the top contenders at the weight paying sanctioning fees and bothering with eliminators when the champ defends against an inactive former welterweight champ thats not only not in the top 15 but never competed at the weight

Yeah. I don't understand the praise Tszyu is getting for this fight.

[Oldskoolg]

I never mentioned Haymon
But he does have his puppets ; Ellerbe for one , Floyd or even Rolly speaks on behalf of PBC
Tank is another which has protected the PBC on tweets and in interviews
Just cause Haymon doesn’t come out guns blazing it don’t mean he doesn’t have his minions do it

They are loyal to their outfit and proud to be there, that doesn’t bother me at all. It’s an American company run by Americans, not sure why any one would have an issue with that. They arnt going for “global domination”, they arnt demanding everyone sign with pbc, they arnt trying to out other promotions out of business, etc etc so what’s the problem?

Yeah, I'm not paying for that card unless it's at a vastly lower price. If that's indicative of quality to come, it's not encouraging.

Boxing, especially in the usa, slumps without pbc fights. Last year pbc proved the power of its brand in how well its fights sold. I’m excited to see pbc on Amazon, it reaching millions worldwide. I’m also excited to see the fight card and the tie in programming. If you’re looking for someone to bash pbc and join the lines of the “Vaterland” against the “dastardly” Al Haymon, I’m afraid you’ve miss judged me. I’ll not be joining in on that propaganda. Haymon doesn’t offend me in any way. Probably best for you to just slap me on your ignore list to be honest

After watching Chris Algieri and Paulie talk the fight on ProBoxTV, I can't help, but be disappointed by this. Thurman whose been out for 2+ years going right into a PPV event with a guy whose not PPV worthy yet in America. I know they want to build Tim up, but having this as a free fight would of been a lot better.

The Rolly-Cruz fight should be action packed, but also not PPV worthy. The entire card would of been awesome and helped Tim's exposure if they would of made it free. I mean technically it's not right? You will still need Amazon to watch.
