There's basically one big, general exclusive, pool of talent, with DiBella, Marguiles, Brown, Michel, Mayweather Promotions, Matchroom Sport, and now Leijah Battah, as the only outfits able to use talents from the common pool to put on their shows.

TGB is basically the promoter for California, DiBella Entertainment is basically the promoter for New York/Northeast, GYM is basically the promoter for Quebec, Mayweather Promotions is basically the promoter for Nevada, Warriors Boxing is basically the promoter for Florida/SEC/Chicago, Leijah Battah is seemingly now the promoter for Texas, Matchroom Sport basically has the promoter rights in the UK, and all of the other markets are simply "up for grabs".

A pretty efficient system, as long as everyone keeps things square

Hi scipio, I actually came to this same conclusion a while ago. The interesting thing about the pbc is the fact that it has so much in common with his concert promotion company. For example if you look inside of a lawsuit by leonard rowe(black promoters association) vs William Morrison agency haymons name is noted over 100 times. In the document it also mentions that haymon hired members of the bpa to promote in their local area for his tours. I think haymons endgame is to have PBC brand name on every major fight that happens inside of the sport.

"I will tell you a story that few people will tell. Going back 20-30 years, there was a young guy named Al Haymon. And Al had a lot of acts as a promoter. Sometimes he would let other promoters in on a date, sometimes he would sell them the date, and sometimes he wouldn't.
"But every time Al sold an act to me, I lost money. That's when I learned my lesson: that Al Haymon is one of the smartest, brightest promoters in the country. I quit being burned (by buying shows Haymon knew were stiffs) and would only work with him (on the successful ones).
"That taught me more than anything else: learning how to read people. It was one of my best lessons. After that, I was the one who arranged to have him brought in by SFX. That's how much I respected him. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Or in his case, get him to join us." � Jack Boyle
