What was the deal with not showing Thurmans belt?

[-PBP-]

Watch the intro. He says something along the lines that PBC is "not about meaningless belts but putting on great matchups"

Is that what Haymon looks like?

How a man looks doesn't mean much to me, it matters with women but it's not an indication of any other quality

Did they mention Thurman is a welterweight champion if the belt is meaningless?

Without that meaningless belt Thurman would just be a boxer with 25 wins 0 losses.

meaningless they say!

Great match up?

Broner vs Molina was a great match up? look at the result.

majority of poster here say it is not fix and Molina is just not a goo fighter, washed up etc.. can anyone agree with you that it was a great match up when it was first announced and suddenly look bad after and it was not fix but only that Molina is not really that good? make up your mind people

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

How will haymon welcome it? Haymon fighters only remember?

He didn't use those exact words. I was just going off memory.

And stop crying. I know you guys are upset that Broner beat one of your ballsy warriors and made him look like a bum but get over it.

Just don't see how this model will hold up. Superstar fighters will not make the money that Pac, Floyd, even Canelo make currently. PBC would need big time sponsorship deals to make this work, and as much as I love boxing, they won't even get close what the NFL, NCAA and even NBA are getting on thier deals.

Also be interesting to see what kind of fighters the PBC have. Do they have the power to make matchups or are they taking marching orders?

As far as the belts, even as much I hate most of them for the corruptness they do carry a sense of stigma..passed along through decades. Think they'll always be coveted no matter what.

Once the PBC brand is established it will command big figures from networks, advertsing & sponsors. This money will filter through to the current established fighters.
Haymon will make a lot of money & when he's running the show he's essentially controlling the purses.
The bigger the event, the bigger the purse. The bigger the event, the more profit for Haymon.
He will supplement drops in a fighters purse earnings through sponsorships and building the fighter up to become their own brand.
These fighters will be under contract to Haymon so infact their own brand will be similar to a subsidiary of Haymons company
At that point Haymon will run the show & the only way anyone will take him on is in a buy out, they won't be able to compete head to head

Was the belt on the line?
But isn't the Lee vs Quilling fight for Lee belt?

it is, for the wbo i think tbh thurmans belt is a joke so who cares?

[HEND]

He still hasn't got a big enough stable to make a sensible belt imo...
Maybe 2-3 years later if he really takes over totally but before that I don't think so
