    Don't really care and I'm not sure why others care so much if they're not personally invest into PBC

    They have MULTIPLE YEARS to make money on MULTIPLE NETWORKS! They not asking the fans to pay for anything just to tune in

      Is it coincidence or pure strategic move that Haymon's PBC ventures come to fruition when Floyd signed to fight Pac? I am of the mindset that Haymon does have a hand in stalling the fight until now. I don't think Top Rank is solely to be blamed.
      Top Rank was never solely to blame, Mayweather deserved a ton if not a majority but I dont see the link between PBC and Haymon wanting to stall at all.

      If anything Haymon started putting the wheels in motion for the PBC back in early 2013 when he started signing quite a few fighters. Pacquiao was coming off his KO loss and the Mayweather looked like it was dead at that time

        Haymon is looking at 10s of millions of dollars in losses in the first few years. Now compare that to another marginal sport in the US, hockey, where the NHL last year signed a 12 year deal in Canada with Rogers television - a CABLE network!, for $5.2 BILLION dollars and they signed a 10 year contract with NBC in the US in 2011 for 10 years at $2 BILLION and you will see where boxing stands in the overall big sports picture. And the NHL deal in Canada is small potatoes when compared to the insane deals that the NFL and MLB have in the US.

        Boxing? Haymon is paying the networks to put it on television. Even curling has a better deal than that in Canada.
        Your just a bitter lame who really dont know what your typing just jib-jab.

        Why don't you mention that after the nhl lockout. Hockey had horrible ratings in the states and had to grovel to get a ,deal worth pittance on a crap American channel( Versus I think , a channel owned by the Phily Flyers owner) for a couple years because their ratings were competing with FNF in terms of audience and no channels would even touch them in the states because they battling irrelevance outside of hockey markets .

        Having a huge deal in Canada for hockey is a given and like selling water in a desert considering it's the number 1 sport easily. Plus Rodgers over paid in part to cripple TSN and basically eliminate them as a hockey provider.

        Curling gets huge ratings in Canada some events for whatever reason probably pull top 5 ratings for the year in sporting events and dwarf Football/Baseball/B-ball and most hockey rating similar to dart tournaments in the UK.

        The whole point of this venture is to take it from a niche sport where the common sports fan knows maybe 1-2 names in the sport and make it more legitimate. But keep being a bitter Mis-informed agenda driven lame hope it works out for you
