Better off to sit on money & sign a ton of 2024 Olympic guys & free agents as they come than sign Canelo to fight 3 guys from lower weights. Shakur is a free agent in July still. They need to sign him & Devin (whos a free agent too) & they can do Tank vs Shakur vs Devin at their leisure. Teo sounds like hes trying to leave TR soon too. These are the emerging names, the future.Goatintheboat DClefthook like this.

I mean the fact they never planned for Canelo vs Benavidez says a ton to me about PBCs awful matchmaking. Like if you aren't gonna make that fight a part of a 3 fight deal why even sign Canelo to a 3 fight deal. But beyond that anything with Errol (if he wants to fight), Tank & David thats reasonable is a PPV. Plant vs Mall is a PPV. Mell vs Tim is a PPV. Bud is still a free agent or maybe has a matching clause with PBC idk surely would be down for a sexy PPV fight if it makes sense.

I agree that they should stop allocating their budget towards Canelo, but I assume it's turning them a profit because how else could they justify it?

Every time these BS PPV news comes up, a piece of my heart gets warm and fuzzy that Amazon Prime Japan actually has "free" world title match boxing. As I often gloat, for a measly $4 USD a month (or $40 annually) gets me access to full Amazon Prime including Video, and everyone can watch "Prime Video Presents Live Boxing" series with no extra charge.
The last card that was available was February 24th, which had the Takuma Inoue / Junto Nakatani / Kosei Tanaka triple world title plus an 1R KO of Jonas Sultan by Riku Masuda. The next card that will be available is the May Inoue-Nery card, that also has Jason Moloney, Takuma Inoue and Seigo Yuri Akui quadruple world title.
Now THAT is that what you call "appealing to the casuals" in Japan.

Plant/Mall is marketable due to the slap, but I don't think it's a headliner. Mell/Tszyu for Undisputed could've been a headliner, but not now. Crawford's asking price went up after Spence, so is anyone actually willing to accept the risk? Haney, like Crawford, may be too expensive anyway.

Hell they could sign Teo & Devin & have them fight each other. Tank can sell PPVs vs anyone but they are eventually gonna wanna throw him into a Big PPV & those are the Big PPV guys. So either Tank fights one or two of them or he'll get upset by some random dude no one knows or barely knows eventually. Personally I'd rather go for the bigger money fight than lose to a rando guy in 3yrs or whatever. This is just how boxing works. No one stays on top forever.
I agree Canelo vs anyone probably turns a profit, but the superior move is to match your best bet to beat Canelo, Benavidez imo, & help create your own PPV star who is on your team. They are already building up Benavidez as a PPV guy so the obvious move was to make The Fight not these bs fights with 154, 160 (with mental issues) & 147 guys which comically was the plan.
I don't trust PBCs moves these days. They have too many talented potential stars in limbo for far too long. Everyones less active these days, but it feels like PBC guys aren't even being moved well when they are fighting.
