A list of all the 24 current title holders (there are currently 70 boxers holding some form of a major title) who've fought on a PBC card or are currently signed to a adviser/manager deal with Haymon to show the extend of PBC's grasp already.
200+ - Deontay Wilder (WBC)
200 - Krzystof Glowaki (WBO)
175 - Adonis Stevenson (WBC)
168 - Badou Jack (WBC), James DeGale (IBF)
160 - Daniel Jacobs (WBA), Andy Lee (WBO)
154 - Erislandy Lara (WBA), Jermall Charlo (IBF)
147 - Keith Thurman (WBA)
140 - Viktor Postol (WBC), Adrien Broner (WBA)
135 - none
130 - Javier Fortuna (WBA), Jose Pedraza (IBF)
126 - Gary Russell (WBC), Leo Santa Cruz (WBA), Jesus Cuellar (WBA), Lee Selby (IBF)
122 - Julio Ceja (WBC), Carl Frampton (IBF)
118 - Juan Payano (WBA), Jamie McDonnell (WBA)
115 - Kohei Kono (WBA), McJoe Arroyo (IBF)
112 - none
108 - none
105 - none
+ I counted about 25 guys who are currently non-title holders, but ranked within the top 3 of an alphabet group who have fought on a PBC card or are Haymon signed fighters. The impact PBC has is only likely to grow.

One of the problems with boxing now is no one knows who the best guys really are. If you want boxing to be mainstream you need to find that best guy & label him the best guy with a title, there can't just be a consensus or debate on who that best guy is. Even college football has a system to find the best team each year these days. I think its about time boxing does the same.
Granted I don't see a PBC title popping up any day now or anything like that, but I don't see how its not a goal its just a matter of if its 2yrs, 5yrs or 10yrs down the line.
