The purpose of issuing these reports is to show results and, more important, provide some sort of forecast for their investors. They don't dole out money and twiddle their thumbs for three years. If they see something wrong with the model, they'll tweak. If, after three years - or even before - the outlook is bleak, they'll move on. But seven months in, PBC is using the money they were given to start up their investment. Which is why this talk of "losses" is silly. If I give you a $1,000 to start a website and you spend $750 on the design and are now recruiting writers, marketing, etc., I'm not pulling out my hair asking, "What are you doing??" Because the answer will be, "What I'm supposed to be doing." Your question won't be answered in two quarters.

I weng to the alexander /martinez card in phx az. They gave me 12 tickets. All I had to do was pay 6 dollars tax fee for arena dues.
Everyone there at the fight I knew.
It was everyone from The phx gyms with the same tickets. They were given free. The arena charged you 6 dollars.
I could have gotten 10 more.
When we sat in our seats the arena was empty.by the time alexander came out
It was 35 percent full. And they asked everyone to come sit closer and fill the
Close seats..
We then sat ringside like 5 seats from adrien broner 1 row behind him.
Pretty much it was 6 dollar tickets with about 3 thousand people . An espn telecast
With selby vs montiel and alexander vs martinez. That had to be a good size loss

All I'm saying if this trend continues which i truly hope it doesn't, boxing on network tv can he gone forever.

Ratings are dropping, Haymon hasn't figured out how to build stars, and NO ONE gives a flying fck about PBC, and they still haven't secured sponsors.
Look at PBC's upcoming schedule, you really think those crappy fights and bunch of nobodies are going to move the needle for PBC? Fck no...
They wanted PBC to be like UFC, where fans tune in just because it's UFC. That will never happen in boxing.
