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

[Loque-san]

Meanwhile, Bob Arum is letting Juanma-Gamboa marinate a little longer...

[SterlingStained]

this is what happens when you let a drug lord like al haymon try to run boxing.



even gus fring talks to the media, why cant al haymon?

only people i know that dont talk to the media are kim jong un, abu bakr al bagdadi, al haymon, and most high level mafia dons.

Pbc is lacking long term vision... Basically wasted year 1... Had some good fights but leads to nowhere.. What has Santa cruz, Thurman, porter, Garcia etc done to capitalize on big wins they had... Nothing

[Fetta]

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?

His complaint is the same one they all have. Haymon and afraid of change.

They are "pee-ons" in life and all these people do is complain

Same could be said of everyone over at HBO as well. Where the hell is Ward? Kovalev is fighting who? Golovkin doesn't even have a single fight lined up. Roman Gonzalez has done **** since being with HBO. Bradley vs Pac??? Again??? Crawford? What about him? And let's not even mention Lomachenko. This isn't just one group. All of boxing is in the same position right now. Why is it everyone focuses on just one group. I'm so confused.

[DeadLikeMe]

Because they did three years of time buys and most of PBC's most vocal dissenters interest in the sport ends when Manny retires and/or GGG takes an L....

Hbo is just showcasing talent,,, and they have the best talent in the world and the biggest fights.. Golovkin is lined up with canelo, Ward is fighting kovolev.. Roman-Estrada 2 will happen.. All in the next 12 months

PBC has a ton of fighters, but they waste away in meaningless fights with no long term payoff..

There was nobodies 2015 that was more wasted than Terence Crawford's imo. He won some FOTY awards in 2014 & somehow he has two fairly who cares caliber fights in 2015.

And you can look at HBO's roster, the best in the business, & take an equally or superior wasted year angle with many of them. GGG is the Erislandy Lara of HBO. Guy don't get no respect & no one is gonna wanna fight him til the guy is 40 probably. Kovalev is fighting guys he fought last year again. However you look at it or think about its impossible to argue with any sincerity that PBC is doing something that much different than HBO, HBO just gots the bigger names & more proven guys. Like PBC can't even make a Canelo vs Cotto type fight. HBO has legit stars & PBC has guys who'd more easily fit into a potential star mold. Yet some people are acting like PBC is holding back on some super fight or something. Give it time & there will be some super fights, but it doesn't just magically sprout outta nowhere.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

Because despite the quantity of fighters, there isn't much talent at PBC and far, far too many shows. And there's really no incentive, rhyme or reason to match them tough. Errybody gets paid.

For now......... The tide is slowly turning.
