What was the deal with not showing Thurmans belt?

Basically the belt orgs have to respond and quickly, or they will be left out in the cold soon (at least in the U.S.). I'm curious if other business opportunists are thinking of doing what Haymon is doing in other parts of the world, like Asia and Europe, bypassing the belt orgs and monopolizing boxing in their regions. Interesting times.

Frank Warren is now in a prime position. He has an established boxing channel that is appreciated by the fans. For years Warren took stick from the UK scene but he's took some big shots over the years & he's hung in there..he's a fighter & loves boxing, you have to respect the man

Warren should look for an opportunity to get in on Haymon's company, take a stake & give a stake in Boxination in return.
Boxnation can then own the rights for PBC broadcasts in the UK, they can continue to show PPV & would be far more likely to broadcast Haymon fighters outside of PBC shows.
They can feed off the old guard until they have established the PBC brand & then just switch out the light on the boxing orgs & own the sport.

I get what you said but look at it this way, if PBC is going to make their own belt then Broner and Thurman record under PBC is 1W 0L 0D 0KO and Guerrero and Molina records are 0W 1L 0D 0KO. I think they have to start from the scratch

you get what I am trying to say?

I get what you're saying. PBC records will come into play when the brand is established.
I believe we're a few years off relying solely on PBC records though.
The PBC belt will be introduced once the brand has enough shows broadcast & has a following.
Once the belts are introduced, fighters that are already established & respected will fight for them. The amount of times a fighter has challenged or defended a PBC belt will be then be what is hyped on the broadcasts.
When the brand has taken over, it will be the future, upcoming fighters that will build their careers on the PBC brand with a PBC record

Trying to remove the sanctioning bodies? Does this mean there will be "PBC" belts soon? Basically the UFC model...

Ill watch the fights, but if haymon makes his own belts im boycotting asap

It's definately the UFC model.

Haymon's already tied the sport up signing most of the best boxers.

Once he introduces his own PBC belt there will be no need for his fighters to pay sanctioning fee's to the other orgs...
He's looking to take away the orgs power to control who fights who. Haymon wants it all.

There will be fighters left out who are great talents. Haymon will hold the sway that they have to sign to his promotion to challenge his fighters.

In 5-10 years we could end up with no WBC/WBO/WBA/IBF, he's answering the fans that say there are too many belts and too many champions.

Haymon's gonna own the sport.

Jay-Z can make some money but Haymon is thinking long & thinking big

Then someone will come and do to haymon fighters what hopkins did to don kings fighters

Then someone will come and do to haymon fighters what hopkins did to don kings fighters

Haymon will welcome it, he'll tie up any challenger for future shows on his brand. The game's changing & Haymon will own the game

Hopkins was able to do it because Don King let his fighters fought Hopkins. Haymon will not make that same mistake.

I can't be the only one who thinks Haymon looks like the Grandpa from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory here.
