Will Boxing Ever Be Able To Regain Credibility After PBC's Inevitable Failure?

[Mukuro]

I think he's making a good go at making boxing mainstream, but it is definitely imperfect.

I think he is doing boxing a disservice by dividing the talent among promoter/broadcaster lines. For that reason I am hoping for him to fail, but I like some of his ideas in theory.

Short term we will have some mixed quality PBC cards. Some good, some bad. I think the mainstream push is good, forward thinking. I just don't think Al Haymon is the man for the job.

Mares vs Santa Cruz should be a very nice fight.

Mares smooth combination punching style coupled with LSC's come forward insight fighting "Mexican" style should be the perfect stylistic clash to bring first time watchers and the casual on board

This is a goddamn discussion forum, just because someone has an opinion that differs from yours doesn't make it any less valid. Many don't like what PBC is doing, it might get better, but it can only be judged on what it is now, the whole "it's only been 5 months give them time" excuse is moronic. Furthermore we already know many of the upcoming matchups, and it's not getting any better, Haymon needs to step his game up and it doesn't like it's happening.

exactly plus knowing hymon's long history of making mismatch after mismatch boxing fans are correct to be skeptical about pbc.

Lol Larryxxx voting with your 10 alt accounts isnt fair.

[Cinci Champ]

Did you watch the same fights? The first two didnt make it pass the second round. Mora should have been a NC. The second fight was a mismatch and Garcia vs Paulie was more borings as Mayweather vs...well, All his opponents!

why should it of been a no contest? if u cant continue u lose what would make it a no contest exactly?

boxingscene should ban posters that post about this daily, what i need to understand is who has had better matchmaking than pbc? people complain about matchmaking as if before pbc it was that much better

[Ahmed_Ismail]

Well u judge the success of something by comparing it to it's competition, and PBC's competition is HBO, Shotime and ESPN friday night fights and so far I think that the clear winner at this point is PBC as far as matchmaking, we've seen some tune ups, but we've also seen great matchups like Thurman Guerrero, Broner Porter, Garcia Matthysse and LSC Mares, and all that happened in the span of like 6 months, what did showtime, HBO and ESPN do jn the last 6 months? What Will they do for the next of the year?

Although tune ups are not good, but they're not that bad either cuz at least they keep the fighter busy, who always fought 3-4 times a year against top Opposition every time out? Only guys like Mayweather can do that (fight top opposition every time out), but u can't hold that as a standard cuz it's too damn high, very few fighters fight top rated guys all the times, it sure would be better if the best fought the best all the time but it never really happened this way recently even before Al Haymon, so I dont see him bringing the sport down, he's just playing the game like everyone else and he's clearly providing better matchups than everyone else right now

actually the biggest culprit of that is hbo people just never call them out for it
