They say that, but well see.

At some point investors are going to look at the #s and make a projection based on them.

If they don't like what they see they'll pull that $ out and give it to someone else.

Please also understand how hedge funds work. They're contractuAlly obligated for this money..

Nah. With even current numbers they'll walk away with a huge TV deal. Sports valuations are skyrocketing..

They cant even get sponsorships, and your talking about a huge tv deal.

NO one will even begin to talk a tv deal with them until they get some sponsors.

And businesses don't want there products next to guys like Floyd and broner.

You don't have a clue what there contractually obligated to do. Don't make things up to support your stance.

He'll still be a draw, his stock fell after Maidana

He'll fight 3 tune ups and then they will throw him in the ring with a live dog and he'll lose again

the cycle continues

His persona will be ignored if he keeps putting up performances like last night. He's not Floyd, he's not a sharp shooter, he's not great defensively. There's not a "wow" factor about him. I think that'll turn a lot of fans off in the future. 3 tuneups from now, other fighters will be moving up in the rankings and popularity

PBC doesn't have to go up against much. The XFL has to go up against the NFL. Huge Difference. If Boxing had the popularity that the NFL Did, PBC would be in Trouble.

XFL did not go up against NFL. They aired after the super bowl during the months of the NFL off season. XFL never competed with the NFL and marketed themselves as the solution for the NFL super bowl hang over. An alternative when NFL season is over. PBC is competing against HBO (The true boxing king right now) and because it's airing on network tv all the other main stream sports. And so far PBC is getting slaughtered and losing millions.

Based on what? If they can't draw ratings or TV sponsors what network would give PBC a huge tv deal? Networks only involved right now because they get paid by PBC none of them would be involved if they had to do the paying lol

This is a silly argument. They're both professional football. It's like saying the CFL doesn't compete with the NFL at all..
