    It's 2 guys fist fighting,,, people will never get tired of watching..

    What boxing needs is to improve the matchmaking.. You usually get good fights when you have competitive matchmaking

        I guess I get it. Some people want this to fail because of the split between promoters. I just feel like ultimately PBC is good for the sport. I know years back we were all for boxing on network tv. Now it is on every basic cable channel. That is exciting. More people will follow younger fighters and we will have new stars. It took Pac and Floyd over 10 years and DLH to get a national audience. PBC may be boxings only hope to stay someone relevant mainstream.

          12 rounds is a long time to sit through for a non fan, and most fights theres little payoff. Casuals want action

            one fighter kind of luck al haymon got.

            after Floyd tell me how many more fighters al haymon promoting, i mean advising, i mean managing made millions upon millions.

            cause that's what happened, Floyd made millions under haymon and every fighter rode the haymon bandwagon thinking they all gonna end up like Floyd under him.

              Quillen, Berto, ghost, Broner, danny, adonis, etc all have made millions with haymon...

              There is a reason why fighters flock to haymon,, he pays the best

                      That's a whole different class, those guys don't make 1/10 of Floyds minimum wage. Haymon guys tend to be overpaid, true, but none of them have made over 2m in purse briefcase, z. except maybe Stevenson. Or carried a US PPV
