    Subscription number don't mean much to Amazon. We keep forgetting their main business is to sell products. They'll survive without boxing contents.

      Amazon isn’t putting up big fee’s for these fights as most aren’t PPV worthy.

      The days of the Al Haymon slush fund are over.

          They need to change their approach. They've had the biggest stable of any company over the past 5+ years but with less dates available, they need to cut some guys loose and focus on quality over quantity.

            True. Very true. You create an account for the purpose of buying something.

              Seems like a lot of PPV's. Canelo in May. Tank in June.

              I have seen it mentioned PBC is shopping for a secondary deal for the non PPV quality level sh^t, but its been mos since I saw that mentioned & nothing concrete or hell even rumors yet. Also not seen any mention of a 1st free Amazon card yet.

                What's next for PBC?

                Some of their stars have been taken by Turki and have scheduled fights. Pitbull, Tzsyu, Crawford, Valenzuela, who else?

                    I think PBC would just be relegated to one fight event a month. PBC might become Part-time Boxing Champs.

                    I don't think it's really that bad if their fighters are able to get a chance at that Turki money.

                      There are rumors Eddie is about to sign GAR. GAR was at the Devin vs Ryan presser &/or the weigh in last wk when I didn't see many pbc faces there.

                      At this point anyone who wasn't fighting enough BEFORE the less dates to fill Amazon deal needs to gtfo of Dodge. The writing is on the wall that pbc's roster is too big for the shows they are gonna be putting on. Til pbc gets a secondary deal to keep guys more active I think no one should be surprised with an exodus of talent leaving or guys sitting even longer than before.

                      As a fan I do suspect they'll be some upside cuz they'll need to match more of their name guys + put more names on cards as it'll need to try to sell cards better + they'll need to get more guys active & on fewer cards. It'll be interesting to see who stays & who goes. The obvious trend I see so far are OG pbc guys seem to be more favored on avg over the newer pbc guys.
