      If these fighters wants to fight 3 or 4 times a year, they need to fight on different networks

        And he'll do more of it. If PBC is gonna be successful they kinda have to acquire more talent. The people throwing jabs at PBC are right when they bring up the roster of PBC & talk of PBC becoming some premier organisation of elite boxing with said roster.

        The thing people fail to realize or accept is that it takes time to happen. If prime versions of Don King, Bob Arum & Oscar De La Hoya were running PBC it'd take time to acquire the talent needed to make the PBC what it'll need to have talent-wise to become the NFL of boxing.

        Hell man most guys are in contracts all the time & as promoters typically require you to sign a new contract while you are still under contract so if I'm Canelo or GGG & my contract was up right now today as I was between fights idk if you wanna go over to PBC just yet from a business point of view. For certain guys it'd probably be a goldmine, but for the top guys probably not. Not yet. Or you'd wanna wait til things are more defined. There is no question the PBC had some odd decisions early on & who exactly speaks for PBC? There are still questions there.

        Just look what happened with Adonis Stevenson since signing with Haymon. Adonis had lots of traction when with HBO. He was doing good numbers and a fight with Kovalev was all but about done until Haymon stepped in. Now where is he? Sometimes I even forget he's still fighting. His stock has fallen like a rock and the only times he's mentioned is when Kovalev's name is brought up.
        Who cares lol. You keep mentioning all these lil specific things like it matters all that much in the grand scheme of trying to create a NFL of boxing. When the UFC started they had f#ck all for talent. They had maybe the 3rd best Gracie as the face of their organisation. They ended up years later getting just about all the best guys in MMA fighting under their banner. If PBC succeeds or fails I promise you it won't have a damn thing to do with Adonis Stevenson or his ratings on Showtime vs with PBC.

          pbcs brand name has been tarnished. when people hear pbc they don't think world championship boxing. its on so much that people just tune out because the quality is so bad most of the time. just look at their schedule.

          BIZIER vs LAWSON
          CASTILLO vs OBARA

          GONZALEZ vs GUERFI

          RODRIGUEZ vs SEALS

          CHARLO vs ALCINE
          HARRISON vs MCCALLA


          why would even a boxing fan want to watch that? they don't and that's why they aren't even getting the die hard boxing fans to watch.

            oh look, its daggum complaining again.. Haymon has a shlt load of fighters, of course they all wont be championship levels.. Boxing is more than hbo and showtime championship boxing. Hes letting these guy prove their worth when normal circumstances most of us wouldnt even see them fight. But thats somehow a bad thing

              I think this is correct nowadays. Is anyone fighting 4 times on HBO these days? With the budget & dates available it doesn't seem like its happening like it used to anyway. Or it seems like it used to. Maybe I'm incorrect.

                    I know what you're saying but the "c" in PBC stands for what?



                    I don't care one way another, but I think that goes into what Daggum was saying about the perception of the quality of these cards being low standards.
