So called boxing fan on a boxing forum saying that he refuses to watch Lara smh, the hate for Lara on here is disgraceful.

That is a pretty surprising number to me, I didn't expect it to be that low.

Interested to know what the peak was.

Haymon must be losing a fortune on these events.

I'm not a haymon hater, but truth is this is completely unsustainable. If he doesn't build stars quickly, which he hasn't shown he can do, I think pbc will fall Sooner than people believe.

And it really makes no sense to me why he needs so many channels and show dates. He doesn't have that kind of star power, not even close.

If Spike does pay him for shows... IMO, I don't think they'd cover these kinds of fights. I mean...Khan alone got paid 1.5 million

No, thinking your a true boxing fan because you like to pretend you enjoy watching boring fighters is disgraceful.

Besides the fighter fees, the promotion, he's also spending a ton on advertising and production. Those lights in the arena and that big pbc screen in the back ground, all that is very costly.

Everything is out of pocket right now too. Not tv network deal will pay enough to cover pbc's current costs.

He needs so many channels to choke the competition and force others promoters to work for him. He gonna play this game for 2 or 3 years.

Yeah, I think the Khan-Algieri main event ($1.5 for Khan, $.5 for Algieir) was nearly the same cost of the Berto-Lopez card (Berto $800k, Lopez $450k, Porter $500k, Bone $150k, Arreola $20k, Harper $22,500).

Didn't see what Fortuna-Vasquez were paid, but the PBC looks to have budgeted $2+ million for these Spike shows.

For boxing fans I think right now might be the honeymoon period with PBC and we should enjoy it while it lasts, in the long run i'm sure the sport will end up back at square one.

I'm a Lara fan but I respect his position because I absolutely refuse to watch Rios.
