That PBC doesn’t do these kind of cards every month, on a non ppv platform, with the roster they have is very frustrating for me as a fan of the sport and a believer in what they can do for the sport.
It can’t be that hard to make quality in house fights that people will take interest in.
It is when none of your in house boys want to fight each other
Sorry but do you think these are great fights that should be stirring everyone up? Of the two, the more interesting will be Benevidez testing the waters at 175. Martin is good but I don't see Martin as much of a threat to the top guys. He'll compete for awhile against Tank, because Tank doesn't do much for awhile.
When has he been chasing greatness though? You acting like he's been going through murderer's row? Name me one dangerous fighter he faced.
Gvozdyk put adonis stevenson in a coma. Obviously gvozdyk is older and past prime now but that power is no joke. Ive seen interviews with his sparring partners and its a common consensus that he has unreal power.
Or...Canelo will be hoping that Benavidez wins because it increases the earning potential of their potential match-up. Other than Benavidez, Canelo stands to lose the most if David looks like shxt. Benavidez moving up is the right move because he isn't going to face Morrell/Mbilli anyway. After Benavidez squashes Gvozdyk, he should go after Beterbiev/Bivol.
He should, but Turki has an idea about the winner of Bivol - Beterbiev fighting Opetaia at cruiserweight. Money talks. I guess the winner will follow the money, the loser also.
Maybe will Benavidez fight the loser of Bivol -Beterbiev for one or more vacant belts at 175.
‘People jump to these conclusions’: Stephen Espinoza discusses Canelo’s return to PBC
Canelo Alvarez is set for a PBC fight against Jaime Munguia when it was previously reported he’d be leaving the company.

Stephen Espinoza takes a few minutes to chat with Fight Hub TV about a couple of upcoming cards that will appear on PBC, including Canelo Alvarez vs Jaime Munguia as well as Tim Tszyu vs Sebastian Fundora. The former Showtime executive, who’s seemingly been working in an advisory role for PBC as of late, shares his perspective on these upcoming cards.
Espinoza on the Canelo vs Munguia fight
“I think this is the right time for the Munguia fight because I think if you looked at Munguia a year ago, two years ago, he was a brawler, he was rough. And I’m not saying he had no skills but he was largely a brawler, and I think what you’ve seen particularly the last year is a lot of progress in Munguia.”
On the reports of Canelo leaving PBC only to strike a deal with them soon thereafter
“It’s been a long time since Canelo took his business over. He’s been the captain of his ship, he’s been maneuvering and navigating his own career for quite a while...at a certain point if he wasn’t seeing what he liked or he had curiosity where the opportunities were, it’s absolutely his right to go look around. That’s why when everyone says it was an amicable parting of ways, clearly it was.
“If anyone had burned a bridge they wouldn’t have gotten back together. So at a certain point people jump to these conclusions, they want to pitch these certain narratives about what’s happened and nine times out of ten they’re jumping to conclusions and spreading a narrative that isn’t true, ‘oh, PBC’s out of money, Canelo doesn’t want to deal with them.’ No, let’s not be so melodramatic about things.”
Canelo and Boots on one card, Tank and Benavidez on the next! Crawford waiting on Tszyu vs. Fundora winner! Sorry haters, PBC is alive and well! LMAO!
LOL let’s all celebrate nothing but ppvs and the biggest stable in boxing having like 3 cards over an 8 month period. Boxing fanagers are something special man.
