    Will PBC still be around at the end of 2025?

    You don’t hear too much about upcoming cards from that side of the street. Other than Benavidez vs Morrell and Gervonta Davis’ fight with Lamont Roach that no one wants to see.

    I don't think they will survive with the type of fighters they have. I don't see the inactive ones complain about being so. They seem to like it that way. You won't even see them getting interviewed, making any comments about fights, potential ones, etc. They're literally hiding from prying eyes. Thurman, Spence, Jermell, Jermall, Adames, Tank, De Los Santos, etc. How can PBC survive with these types of fighters? It's like a business establishment without employees.

      It all depends on Al Haymon. He may choose to sell the company.

        It’s true, you hardly ever see PBC fighters being interviewed. And for the public, out of sight means out of mind.

        Being on Amazon Prime should have been a much bigger deal than what it has turned out to be. It’s looking like they dropped the ball. Again.

            True. PBC always seems to be on the verge of going belly up I guess.

              I'm not sure what the plan is. The Amazon deal wasn't going to be any kind of game changer because Amazon didn't seem like they were providing anything more than a platform. Revenue was going to be generated off of PPV and that isn't what it used to be.

              ESPN seems one foot out the door. Neither Paramount nor Pea**** look to be interesting in taking on a lot of boxing content. That leaves DAZN....not alot of good options.

                Can't see this year being much better than last year. They had like 3 cards and that's mainly cause they begged carnela, Hearn and Oscar for fighters.

                Now that canelos contract ended lets see if pbc will put up another ppv against d tier opponents.

                  Jake Paul and Mike Tyson just drew a huge number of viewers on Netflix.

                  You would think Amazon Prime would be a similarly great platform to be on. If it was done right.

                    You have to wonder about Spence who is a dyed-in-the-wool PBC loyalist. He popularized the term 'wrong side of the street' and was so proud of being a PBC fighter as if he's a Google employee. One loss and he can't seem to put his acts together for a come back. Same thing with Jermall who wanted nothing to do with non-PBC fights. He was offered $7 mil for the Andrade fight back when DAZN was spending money like drunken sailors. Charlo's response was, "Put your ass over here (PBC) and we'll fight."
