why do even the most mediocre fights take so long to get made at pbc?

    yes, pbc has only been around for a year however these fighters have been managed by haymon for a very long time now. each one of them. that is only 3 elite fights that pbc has broadcasted...what a joke!

      Where you seeing that much hype at? I mean there are always fanboys of everything in boxing & sports in general so some people are gonna at like when Trey Lippe fights a guy on a 5 fight win streak its a huge thing, but the general consensus isn't gonna conform to that point of view.

      I see about the same excitement for Porter vs Thurman as I see for other fights between top 5, top 10 caliber guys. Its worthy of attention, but it doesn't seem off the charts for what you'd expect. In fact if anything I think its getting a lot of bad attention cuz the rumors have suggested PBC has kicked it back from Dec. to Jan. to Feb. & now to March. That & the Porter's talking about the status of the fight every other week has surely gotten it more attention then it deserves I guess you could argue, but mostly its bad attention.

        These types of fights should be the norm, not the exception on a piece of programming which is supposed to bring attention back to boxing. We don't need two scrubs facing off against each other on a weekly basis.

          Ward, Kovalev, GGG, Cotto, Canelo, Lomachenko, Walters, Crawford, Pacquiao are all with HBO but we gotta wait over a year for those fights?

          All the fights you mentioned have been made in less than a year. What's your complaint?

            Just off the top of my head thinking -- it's like PBC is feeding Danny Garcia the same guys Thurman just fought. What is it? Guerrero and Luis Collazo.

            Collazo is being passed around more than a 5 dollar Tijuana hooker.

              Top 10 ranked fighters fighting eachother = medicore.
              Golovkin fighting actual mediocre and below top 10 guys and less than top 10(less than top 10: Adama, Monroe, Ishida, Rosado) = cleaning up the division, greatness, Top 10 P4P status.

                Ward vs Kovalev-marinate. Gotta watch Kovalev fight a pointless rematch and Ward bring up SMW journeymen to fight LHW

                Cotto vs GGG-marinated to long. Cotto lost

                Canelo vs GGG-marinate. GGG vs Heiland and Canelo vs Rosado will get the people ready

                Pacquiao vs. Bradley-marinate. Gotta watch Pacquiao vs Bradley III. That's the fight the people want to see
