    PBC wont be around in 2yrs if you ask me. He is going to have a hard time finding advertisers to buy commercial time with the low ratings they have been getting.

    Having to buy your own tv time + pay the fighters purse + pay for the production - sponsors/advertiser dollars = disaster.

        That's funny, because you won't be around in one month.

          I think I read that the card on Saturday had a 1.17 rating according to twitter-verse.

            He will be. He just thinks he can run things better or he thought boxing was great the way it was.

                  Haymon's business model is exploiting the ignorance of the casual fan. A casual fan doesn't follow the sport regularly, has no idea who the champions are, doesn't know that 4 belts exist, doesn't know how to score a fight, can't tell the difference between a good fighter and a bum, doesn't pay attention to weight divisions, etc.

                  He can create belts and call his fighters champions because his audience will not know who Wlad, Ward, Rigo, etc. are. He can promote Wilder as the heavyweight champion and get away with it.

                  It will be interesting to see how long he can profit off of ignorance or if fans will start to really get into boxing and do their research.

                      "You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time but you can never fool all of the people all of the time".

                      It isn't that crucial though because if Haymon has a champion and there is a guy that emerges from outside PBC that become a special event which if both guys don't blow it will most likely occur because the money will be right. Because Haymon is a capitalist after all.
