pbc would have moslty like won the purse bid for stevens kovalev tooIt needs to attract sponsorship in order to survive, therefore it needs to be good. It's still early and there is time to turn it around but it's been a C+ kind of performance from them so far.
I'm saying it how it is, they haven't set the world on fire and it's been a bit of a damp squib so far. You really disagree and think it's been full of barnburners and exciting match-ups? there's no real reason why it couldn't have been but it just hasn't.
The IBF put DeGale-Dirrell together, PBC just won the purse bid. Purely for the boxing fan, since you bring it up, it would have been better off in the UK where it would've drawn a large crowd and likely more viewers. Instead it's in Boston where neither fighter has a fanbase. That's by the bye though.
maybe pbc don't want to travel outside the us yet that will cost them more moneyComment

No because you are an idiot. Idiocy knows no race, creed nor color and Al Haymon would likely think you are a dimwit even if you were his blood relative.
Al Haymon is a great capitalist who will succeed or fail on his own merit, if you think I said anything other than that, that is your issue not mine you over sensitive *****.Comment

Yeah, I'm kind of tripping on these young brothers throwing down the race card. Haymon's a manipulative snake, and Mayweather's a boring, defensive fighter with a checkered past and arrogant attitude. WTF is there to like so much about these cats? It's got nothing to do with them being black. An ****** is an ******, period.I'm black you idiot. Half black half puerto rican to be exact you f'ing idiot. has nothing to do with hating haymon cause he's black you fool. He blocks the fights I want to see that's why I call him out. He is beefing with all the other major promoters making it impossible to see the best fighters go toe to toe. And I've NEVER made a single negative comment about Ward. But your racist arse can't fathom that if you don't like haymon it just might not be because of his color.Comment

Not quite. Jack Johnson lived in an era when African Americans were segregated from white Americans. Our people were suppressed and held at a level far beneath our European-descended counterparts. Johnson enjoyed beating up on white boxers and flaunting his superior physical abilities. He also sported white women on his arm. This was his way of getting back at those who felt he was less of a man because he was black. These things enraged the then Jim Crow America, hence the government coming after him and the news media attacking him.
Mayweather's plight cannot be compared to that of Jack Johnson. He's filfthy rich, the government is not hounding him, nor are the police harassing him. Sure, he gets some boos here and there, and criticism from some journalists and boxing fans on various forums; largely because he's not a very satisfying fighter to everyone. He also commands premium dollars for his boring fights, and has been busted for domestic abuse. He has some controversy in his life, but at the end of the day, he's sitting way prettier than Jack Johnson ever did.Comment

The race card is not something that has to be thrown down or played when we are all living inside a house made of racist cards (USA) . It's all around u , please open your eyes . Even the very money in your pocket that u trade everyday has slave owners faces on it .Yeah, I'm kind of tripping on these young brothers throwing down the race card.

Haymon is a manipulative snake ? How so , and if so why r u singling him out ? Steve Jobs was WELL DOCUMENTED AZZHOLE , Zuckerburg , same thing but I guess that's what it takes to dominate any industry in American . Steve Jobs , although a well documented azzhole is celebrated as a genius , Pioneer and amazing business man .Yeah, I'm kind of tripping on these young brothers throwing down the race card.

"Puerto Rican" is a nationality dummy. Not a race. Ignorance kills credibility.I'm black you idiot. Half black half puerto rican to be exact you f'ing idiot. has nothing to do with hating haymon cause he's black you fool. He blocks the fights I want to see that's why I call him out. He is beefing with all the other major promoters making it impossible to see the best fighters go toe to toe. And I've NEVER made a single negative comment about Ward.

Your the idiot when did I say it was a Race? I'm describing myself. My fathers black and my mom is puerto rican. I know more about my nationality and race then you. Either bring something to table or sit down and be quiet when grown folk are talking.Comment

Puerto Rican doesn't describe a race. When you compare a race (my father is black) to a nationality it shoes how ignorant you truly are. You don't want to go this route. I'll embarrass you lol.Comment
