      I mean it's not a secret that they have to use PPVs to sell the fights right now. Just like DAZN discovered. Remember Eddie Hearn in 2018 said PPV is DEAD? Then a few years later he came out and lied and said he "never said PPV is DEAD" even though we have this new technology called video evidence. Yesterday FIGHTHYPE did an interview with Espinoza. He acknowledged that Amazon is not paying for the fights and unfortunately they have to use the PPV model to generate income. PBC is, just like DAZN was, on a case by case basis a.k.a. show and prove. If we want boxing to thrive in America then we need all the fights we can get on our soil. Having our fights outsourced to Saudi will not help. We need PBC, TR and GBP on deck ten toes down. My Xmas wish for 2025 is that Amazon and ESPN come to some sort of agreement to host all three companies on their networks. If that happens then I guarantee you they will give them a budget.
      Well, if Haymon had focused more on building audiences and developing talent, instead of pissing away a BILLION DOLLARS just trying to put everyone else out of business, then we probably wouldnt be in this predicament. But Haymon killed the Friday Night Fights, and in less than a decade he ruined pretty much every network that was buying content, to the point that boxing content these days is worth ZERO, and the only option is PPV.

      Thanks Al

        I agree. Whether people like him or not, Eddie Hearn is the only promoter with the level of presence needed to jump-start a network.

          That's true but I believe it's because the PBC can't afford Canelo's minimum

            Yes I get that but it’s something that would of never happened in the past
            Now not sure if it’s a lack of funds or is it not wanting to lose money ( sharing the loss lol )

              You're right, I believe both are true.

                I can answer that Oldskool. Even back then with all the problems we had in this country there was somehow an enormous sense of pride in each group of people that helped shape America into what it had become. re were white people that even though they controlled everything and could do what they want it was enough of them that as time went on a lot of them tried to be better than their parents and guide the country into what it was created to be. There were blacks that went through hell but through perseverance and pure will and determination they climbed themselves out of that hole and made the heaviest contribution into turning this country into a powerhouse. There were Chinese that built a significant portion of the western section of the Transcontinental railroads. There were Mexican migrants that started immigrating in the early 1900s to states like Kansas and Missouri and have always been an important part of American agriculture. Native Americans were sadly largely forgotten about was this has always been THEIR LAND. There were ***ish people that came here in the 1700s and back then had a very deep connection with black Americans. Amish people played an integral role in helping enslaved people move from the south up to the north. We all had a deep love for this country no matter the hardship we went through. Americans cheered for Joe Lewis and cried when President Kennedy and Martin Luther King was assassinated. The problem has been over the last several decades of all these immigrants from around the world were allowed to come to America and brought all their problems with them. People from Africa, Asia, Arabs, Hindus, Carribean, South and Central America etc. All these people brought more hate with them because they thought in order to be a good American means you have to be ray-sis white people and help hate the blacks. These are the people that I hope T R U M P is about to deport the fuqk up otta here PRONTO TONTO!
                Lmfao you said a whole bunch of fvkcing nonsense

                And you acting like tr.ump likes you folk. He doesn't. Your asses going back to the fields
