    is PBC a company like HBO and SHO but shows boxing for free

    or is PBC a promotion company like TR or Golden Boy

    or is PBC a boxing organization like WBC or WBA or WBO?

      When PBC was announced, I said Haymon was going to save boxing. I thought without HBO's welfare checks, he'd be forced to put on good fights in order to make money. But it turned out he simply went from scamming HBO to scamming that investment company., and we've gotten mostly **** despite his deep stable.

        - Wasting hundreds of millions of dubious hedge funds to overpay and spoil fighters, basically turn them into puppets on a string who only care about making the most money by fighting the weakest opponents

        - Wasting said dubious money to block other promoters from venues and TV dates, give tickets away for free to make the impression of a good attendance

        - Putting his fighters into adhesion contracts that prevent them from even talking about said contracts and criticizing Haymon in any form.

        - Torturing and hoaxing boxing fans with fixed fights (Wilder vs Scott etc), pathetic mismatches with unknown opponents who just attend for a paycheck

        - Preventing countless fights that fans actually wanted to see. (Stevenson Kovalev, Thurman vs Garcia/Khan, Santa Cruz vs Rigo etc)

        - Making most of his fighters look like cowards and preventing them from being accepted by fans or recognized for P4P rankings with his ludicrous matchmaking, inactivity and no risk takings of the majority of his fighters

        - Favoritism of his A side "champs" against his B side chumps that have basically no chance if a fight goes to the scorecards

        - Fooling the fans by ignoring and slandering other fighters and champions outside of Haymon's clients.

        Al Haymon, the savior.

          Think of it as an advisory council for the rights and benefits of fighters. Have fighters complained about it? Never.

          PBC has promoters on per diem and its own networks. I don't see the conflict. But, they could do better by getting their own promoter's licence, or one main promoter.

          I don't know why Haymon is not using Mayweather Promotions exclusively for all his fights. If I were Floyd, I'd be on his case for that, for making him millions.

            I don't know or care about Haymon but he's cornering his main competitors. That much is clear. Thus the crying of GB/TR/HBO shills.

                  Dirrell vs Jack

                  Some of you just straight up hate what Haymon is doing. HBO and Showtime have both given us bull**** ass showcase fights through the years. PBC puts on good match ups, as well as giving some good fights. Sure they put bull**** like Spence, or Charlo against the bum of the month, but they give us just as many quality fights as HBO does, and for free.
                  Well the Wilder fights sure seem that way and so do all the previous Thurman fights . This is the first time Thurman will be challenged

                      Same with me. Wherever I can get it. More boxing is always a good thing.
