    I clearly said I brought it up. Why so much debate over this. Who cares?

    I don't care what cliche is out there and I clearly told you why I don't care much for Haymon and why if you thought Haymon was trying to start a NFL type league for the betterment of Boxing then he fooled you because PBC isn't that and I clearly explained why it's not. If all you got to respond is you must just hate Haymon because he's a black man trying to steal white mans money then you ****** as phuk. I'm black I got no reason to hate that man because he's black. lol And trust there are tons of people who don't like Haymon and we are not all white just boxing fans that can see how much of a crappy product PBC was and how it's created more of a divide and negativity in boxing then united boxing all while stealing millions from investors. Do you think the investors he robbed and are suing even know he's black? Or even care? They suing because he lost all their money! they would of sued if he was white too. It's a weak argument. Again this was a ponzi scheme that lost his investors millions and had nothing to do with making boxing better. Overpaid mismatches and goofy american gladator type ramps. Alot of gimmicks and fights nobody cared about or wanted.
    Jesus f#cking christ man you need a kleenex?

    Here I'll make you feel better, maybe your ponzi scheme talk isn't just crazy talk. Maybe it'll get proven in the future & Haymon will get locked up. Having said that they is no proof of it yet so it is crazy talk still. I'm really rooting for you to be able tell me you told me so in 2 or 3 years doe.

      If Spence had fought on HBO or Showtime, less than 800K people probably would have saw him fight.

        LOL boxing fans are notoriously negative about change so not surprised you feel that way. But cmon man. There used to be 8 divisions. There used to be one champion. There used to be fights in excess of 25 rounds. You used to be able to hit people as they were getting up. Hell you used to hit people with your bare fist.

        Promoters didn't always run boxing like they do today. The best used to fight the best before promoters got so strong & invested in "their" guy being the best. If it changed before to what it is now I don't see why it can't change back or to something new.

        All I know is for sure boxing isn't ever gonna reach its potential it can reach with powerful promoters protecting their assets & alphabet groups over saturating champions. And the seemingly obvious road to take is the road virtually every other sport has taken.

            Yet the man you defending as not being a typical promoter just created a league where he did exactly what you just said you hate. Instead of the best fighting the best in his stable it was largely the best in his stable fighting carefully crafted mismatches where his "main" guys were protected because they were his biggest assets. Getting multiple fighters in the same weight class as many paper belts saturating the champions in his stable without them actually fighting each other even though they were all under his roof and no politics, promoter, alphabet group there to prevent him from making better fights if he wanted. In a perfect world one league would be great for boxing. But we don't live in that world and Haymon was clearly not the man to do it. His agenda flies in the face of everything you mentioned. I could maybe forgive the whole robbing his investors story line if in the process he was making boxing better. But he wasn't. Actually he made it worse and more fractured in the process.

              Yeah Spence had the type of performance that'll make fans tune in to watch him again. GGG was getting crappy ratings at first, but he was dispatching guys in exciting fashion and kept a busy schedule.

                  And still, you will not address the original point.

                    So explain how you kick out all of the money people and create a league.
