Is it me or do 90% of the PBC fights mean nothing?

    Someone should make a thread titled THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY and list all of the PBC fights so far and we can categorize them into those three sections. Because it's too simplistic to just say PBC SUCKS or PBC IS GREAT, it's somewhere in between it's been a mixture of good, bad and ugly.

    Off the top of my head:

    THE GOOD
    Garcia vs Peterson
    Broner vs Porter
    Quillin vs Lee
    Harrison vs Nelson
    Dirrell vs DeGale
    Thurman vs Guerrero
    Santa Cruz vs Mares

    THE BAD
    Garcia vs Paulie Malignaggi
    Lara vs Rodriguez
    Khan vs Algieri (fight turned out pretty good tho)
    Bute vs Andrea Di Luisa
    Frampton vs Gonzalez
    Broner vs Molina

    THE UGLY
    Garcia vs Salka
    Thurman vs Collazo
    Stevenson vs Bika
    Stevenson vs Tommy Karpency
    Mora vs Abraham Han


    There's more but you get the idea

      Only reason canelo cotto hasn't been announced as official is there playing a game of chicken with floyd/haymon.
      im not here to argue or name call but its obvious you are just bias and have an issue with something as ur making all the excuses in the world for one side. pbc does have cheesy production but come on man this backlash has to have some other agenda behind it, u guys are bringing up the ali act, making threads daily hoping it fails, i mean what was so much better before pbc as far as match making? top rank fed us the same ol BS for years, golden boy isnt doing much, just relax man sht!

        I support PBC 100% because I'm a BOXING FAN! I'm not here just to Support and Praise 1 Fighter like some people.

        However, I don't like Which Fighters and What Fights are getting TV Time! I would much rather watch Digget Colon, Erroll Spence Jr, J Rock Williams and those young Lions blast away guys they're suppose to beat instead of watching guys like Quillin and Jacobs get TV Time to fight No Names in match ups that means nothing.

        Look I know we're not going to get mega fights every show lets be realistic, but please they have to stop with the Boring Mismatches Stylistically (On Paper). I respect Paulie and Sergio Mora but no way do you let them Headline a PBC Event when your trying to build a Audience COME ON! HBO are providing mismatches as well but at least it is setup for their guy to look good and score a KO. So yes, PBC need to step it up with the match making. If guys don't want to step up then let them go take their Softball Fights on Bounce TV or Fox Sports 1 or something

            Sure, we get the occasional Porter vs Broner and Mares vs LSC but most of these fights end up as we think and they lead to nothing. What does Thurman beating Collazzo lead to? Garcia beating Paulie? Who cares, we expected those things to happen and it's not like it builds any other fights up with those victories.
            I'm happy there is more boxing on tv but most of these cards are just "stay busy" type fights and lead to nothing...
            How many fights has HBO put on that have meant anything? vacant title fight for Terrence Crawford, Matthysse-Provodnikov for WBC 140 top challenger, and then the list kind of runs cold....

            Try being honest with the criticisms for once.

              Latest ATG or borderline ATG are Mayweather, Pacquiao, Hopkins, Morales, Marquez, Barrera etc.... can a fighter fighting under the PBC format develop into an ATG?

                I supported PBC before I saw what it became, you can look in my history if you don't believe me. Heck I'm one of the few people on this board who actually is talking about the Raushee Warren fight, and actually wants to see it, unlike you blind PBC **** riders who always talk about PBC but I never see y'all talking about the fights.

                I actually like the production, like the different time slots they fill, have enjoyed some of the fights.

                But mostly, it's garbage.

                It's a fact, that unless Haymon learns to build stars, learns to build up fights, PBC has nothing. Boxng is, always had been, and always will be about the stars.

                I find it ****ing hilarious how before PBC went live all you guys said, it would be great because he will make all the fights fans want to see.

                Where they at?

                  Of course, that's only if you believe the drivel they spew.
                  "I'm Deontay Wilder, and I'm the Heavyweight Champion of the World."

                  "Russell becomes 126 pound kingpin in his second shot at the title!"
                  Yeah, let's just pretend that he hadn't just lost so bad in his last fight that Lomachenko almost got an attempted manslaughter charge levied at him.
                  I agree, I dont like how PBC tries to ignore all other fighter that dont fight on the network.

                  Pretending they dont exist wont make them go away. Last thing I want to see is a PBC belt. Dont need nemore belts watering boxing down that much more. I watch PBC everytime it comes on but do think they would benefit from Schaffer aboard.
