    they have the roster and numerous tv dates to make these fights. hbo only has a limited number of slots and even if a promoter gets a date he usually has to work with other promoters to make fights which can be tricky business. all that a-side/b-side crap, purse splits, options for future fights. haymon doesn't have to deal with any of that. haymon just has to work with himself but he still refuses to make good fights.

      Fights this year
      HBO:
      Matthysse/Provodnikov
      Kovalev/Pascal
      GGG/Lemieux
      Canelo/Cotto (upcoming)
      Postol/Matthysse(with a good undercard with Soto)

      PBC:
      Mares/Santa Cruz
      Thurman/Guerrero
      Garcia/Broner

      HBO by far has the better product this year.
      Your Wrong in my opinion PBC has slayed HBO as far as competitive match ups this year. HBO has the more exciting fights , by and large though it's almost all extreme mismatches.

      PBC in 5 months
      Thurman / Guerrero
      Garcia / Peterson
      Quillen / Lee
      Porter/ Broner
      Dirrell / Degeale
      LSC / Mares

      Plus a slew of other decent match ups


      Are all good match ups that actually meant something. When you guys watch sports do you want to see the best vs the best or just be entertained ,It's like I'm a basketball fan and don't want to watch the NBA playoffs I'd rather watch the And1 mixtape circuit games because they dunk nice.

      And 2 of those are PPV, Don't get it twisted Cotto/Canelo is a great fight and GGG / Lemiux is decent but still

      I still haven't figured out how Postol has got a following and this has become a anticipated fight , The guys had 2 fights in 2 years 1 against aydin and the other against the 321st ranked WW. Are people going to his sparring sessions or something.

        What are all the PBC fighters fights that'd have you sucking PBC's ****?

        I think ppl overestimate the quality of PBC's roster. 200 cats, but only like 20, 25 elite level name cats. If you list 5 or 6 fights & they are realistic fights to make (guys in the same division & at the same or similar levels right now) I suspect you will see half of them before the end of the year.
