Comments Thread For: PBC: Top Rank Lawsuit Is Entirely Without Merit

[PAC-BOY]

When have the "Feds" ever stepped in and started a sporting organization..


NBA, mbl, Fifa, NBA, NASCAR, PGA, NHL, UFC. are all privately founded, owned and controlled organizations...

Never! Thats my point!

I knew this PBC would never work, instead of helping boxing, it further divided it.

People just jumped on the bandwagon because they're FLoyd fans.

Real Boxing fans loose out.


Theres only a very few top tier fighters on PBC. Thats Thurman/Guerrero/KHAN.

Garcia, who knows when he's coming back to fight at the level he left after the Mathysse fight.


Thats only three, the other guys are unproven or porspects. Once those guys fight each other, it's over. They cant' replay the same movie over and over again.

PBC prettty much has signed the Past, Future and the Present in the sport... they have the largest and deepest stable of fighters and that's only going to get bigger if they keep on paying everyone the most and if all the big names in A fighters division are with PBC that guy is going to jump ship too... no one promo company can come close. You'd have to add all of GBP,TR and Main Events talent to maybe come close to what PBC has.

No it won't idiot. The May-Pac money was so huge, they HAD to check their ego's in to pull such a fight off. They hate each other, they never agreed on anything in the negotiations, CBS' Les Moonves made it all happen. He was the go to, he spoke with all parties, he worked the networks. Two months ago was so important, that Moonves managed Arum & Haymon and took the fight to the finish line. Your comparing Arum to Paterno is idiotic. TR wanted to sue Haymon before the May-Pac negotiations. You don't let those differences get in the way of the largest sporting event in history. Now the timing is right. What Haymon is doing is striving to monopolize Boxing and all the prime time "free" Networks. That's not good for anyone, and these illiterate fighters will also find that to be the case as their careers move along at the authority of their pimp, Al.

Every superstar Arum has ever had has either left him and went on to make REAL money or went on to become REAL broke after he got done sucking them dry. Ask Trinidad if when he was around if PBC was an option would he have chose to stick with Arum? Ask Pac in few years when the Irs and the BIR are done with him, when he's completely shot and his minimum purses drop so drastically he can't afford to keep up with his lifestyle and when the people turn their backs on him and stop voting for him come election day... Ask him if sticking it out with Arum was the best move for him... the writing was on the wall with VisionQuest a few years back and whatever dirt Arum has on Pac wouldn't allow him to leave but that's another story..

HBO Boxing fell off a while ago. Floyd signing with Showtime was offically the end.

Sorry GGG and Kovalev fighting tomato cans is not compelling boxing. Neither is Tim Bradley, Provodnokov, ALgeri, etc...

To Kovalev's credit, his fights with Hops and Pascal were compelling, but HBO has a long way to go before they are the cream of the crop again.

HBO matchmaking has been in the toilet for quite some time now.

Rios vs Alvarado, Pac vs. Algeri, Tim Bradley vs anybody, GGG vs tomato cans, random foreign fighter against random foreign fighter, etc... was not compelling.

I'll take Danny Garcia vs Lucas Matthyse level fights any and every time over HBO's garbage. They need to find a good match maker.

The UFC is embarrassing HBO Boxing when it comes to quality matchups and stacked cards.

You such a ****** phukk. Do you just throw your opinions out there and pretend they fact??? Do you homework clown. Despite Floyd's 6 fight deal at SHO, Floyd was the only guy who made any money. SHO took it in the shorts all last year, and all this year. SHO's ratings were no where close to that of HBO. You're a real idiot.

You wish you really knew this game as well as you think you do. You're an idiot. Haymon is about to get his head handed to him, clown.

First of all dumb phukk, don't just throw **** at the wall to see what sticks. Trinidad and Chavez Sr both went broke with Don King, idiot. As did Tim Witherspoon, as did Joe Frazier, as did Mike Tyson. Trinidad was not with Arum.

Secondly clown, Arum has nothing to do with Pacquiao and the IRS. He promotes his fights, he doesn't do his taxes, clown. I get if you just don't like Arum, I don't like you either. But your claims are just plain ******.

[TLC8]

You clearly dont know who Bob Arum is..

You're an illiterate. Not worth having a discussion with you; way over your head.

Floyd has one more fight, then it's over and out from him. Who will be Haymon and PBC's biggest star then?

Only a few of the most exciting, charismatic fighters, the guys who are going to be pulling in the crowds and getting the fans talking over the next few years, are with Haymon.

Not with Haymon are GGG, Kovalev, Ward, Canelo, Cotto, Lemiuex, DeGale, Brook, Lomachenko, to name just a few.

And if you are talking about the heavyweights, the division that always catches the attention of casual sports fans more than any other, Haymon has nobody but Wilder, and Wilder will be nobody in 12 months time.

Kovalev fighting tomato cans...most ridiculous comment I have read in awhile. Pascal and Bhop were top at LH and Kovalev embarrassed both of them. Now Stevenson on the other hand has been fighting less than compelling fights and a supermiddle in his last bout. FYI HBO BAD (boxing after dark) doubles Showtime ratings and have put on compelling fights this year Mathysse/Provo fight of the year thus far, Kovalev/Pascal,Canelo/Kirkland,Klitchko/Jennings. What great fights has Showtime broadcasted on ther showtime channel that's not ppv? Chavez/Fonfara lmao

Is this the best you can do, blockhead? ******ed individuals like you think that, because you can count on you can count to ten on your fingers, you are qualified to teach physics. Everyone knows that Arum an De L Hoya are suing the investment company that is backing Haymon. After Arum loses that suit, he will try pulling political strings and using dirty political tactics such as arranging for the SEC or other banking regulators to open unwarranted investigations on the PBC's investment company, convincing the IRS to investigate them or trying to convince investors to sever ties with the company.

This is what bitter white men do when they have exhausted all their options in trying to hurt their enemy. Of course, you are too much of a Forest Gump clone to comprehend something like this, so all you can do is attack me with comments like, "Totally ****ing clueless, aren't you?" If you are not enough proof to convince your family that in-breeding is wrong, I don't know what would would!!!!!!

jeez, why always racial? Arum supposedly a bitter white man, but the guy is not exactly a WASP, he's a *** which is arguably a minority in itself. De La Hoya is Mexican-American, a latino.
