PBC used 1iota, seat filling company, to fill seats

[-PBP-]

I won't bother watching that fight. I don't give a damn about watching two title holders in a 10 round catch weight fight with no title at stake. That would be like telling me that this year the NHL Stanley Cup finals will be 10 minute periods with no body checking allowed. What's the point?

The catchweight bothered me at first but after seeing that PBC doesn't recognize titles it doesn't really matter anyways.

It's kind of a habit for Haymon. Back when they had Tarver/Kayode, Trout/Rodriguez, Cruz/Malinga, and Quillin/Wright at Stub Hub, they only sold 1,200 tickets and comp'd out over 5,800.

Was gonna say who the hell is gonna pay for that.... but that's a decent name card....again, name card.

I'd buy a ticket if I was in the area..... at a reasonable price that is

funny storyana White (ufc pres) said that at the begining they used a big ramp for the fighters to walk in so the arena looked packed.This are just things you have to do at the begining to seel a product because that's what haymon does,essentiale his own tv show and to have big ratings the show needs to look good...I don't mind as long he puts the great fights...

And because they don't recognize titles, PBC doesn't really matter to me.

Wow Steve Kim at it again. Why does this dude spend all day crapping on PbC Floyd etc. ?
This guy is a loser and I'm surprised a boxer hasn't beat the highschool acne off him yet. Him and Montoya always stirring up stuff. They tweet all these rumors and you fools run with it.

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

I don't get it, why not just sell the tickets for affordable price here at NSB? They'll get sometihng back and at least the audience will be happy to be there lol.

It's obvious Haymon has a plan

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

I think this has already been reported for other shows. PBC, Bellator & other groups interested in certain looks.

Also unrelated to this situation, outside of the typical negative slant at least, Steve Kim is one of the most insufferable ****s in boxing. I'd be hard pressed to name a bigger hater of boxing who makes his money from boxing since Larry Merchant got let go from HBO.

I'm suprised how many take his word as law.

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

what did you expect?, other than floyd, haymon roster suçs... cant put butts on seats...

Then why did HBO have to use them?
