what credibility did boxing have before the PBC? Its been considered a dying sport/niche for years, ruined by the same promoters many of you all are now fanboying for like a bunch of pre-teen girls over One Direction

Look at all these fighters and $ Haymon has.
And compare to hbo which has less of both.
Look at HBO's end of the year schedule.
GGG-Lemieux, Cotto-Canelo, Fury-Klitschko, Bradley-Rios, Mattysse-Postol
Look at PBC's schedule, it's 99% trash no one cares for. As far as quality its not even a competition.
The only good thing About PBC is daytime fights IMO.

The only issue with PBC is the match ups, and so called Main Events. Garcia/Paulie is not a Main Event, neither is Khan/Algeri, or Thurman/anybody of late... I no problem watching these fights but my issue is calling these fights the best to be offered. The best thing so far PBC has done was Broner/Porter but was a let down because of Broners lack of offense and Cruz/Mares.
If Haymon who seems to soon be in deep water... He is blatantly going against the Ali Act but If PBC is to continue and succeed they must provide real main events! Garcia/Thurman, Jacobs/Quillin, Russell Jr/Cruz, Russell Jr/Mares, Khan/Thurman, Khan/Garcia 2, Chavez/Degale, Stevenson/Chavez, Broner/Garcia, ect... The list goes on but I'm starting to believe Haymon is trying to make a "Cash Cow" out of damn near every Client/Figher he has in just stable but not producing the fights the people want to see or need to be seen; aren't being made.
I had high hopes for PBC but since its start in the boxing world, I've been often disappointed. Haymon has the options to create memorable fights but declined to do so. Will it change? Doubtful. Will it impact the future of the sport, doubtful... People who want to see boxing will watch boxing, people who want to watch women fight and guys try to fight will watch MMA. Simple as that.
