    This further confirms Haymon is going bankrupt. He is putting survival over dignity.

      PBC in the toilet, money all but dried up. He has no choice but to let his guys fight on HBO.

        Glad to see Peter Nelson is doing what's best for the sport instead of holding onto grudges and cold wars.

          He has 200 fighters and they have to fight somewhere.

            Don't even waste your time. These guys are rooting for PBC to fail. They want to keep boxing tucked in the corner on on premium cable while UFC takes off worldwide and becomes the biggest combat sport in the world. A real boxing fan would be happy to see his fighters are back on HBO. It opens the door for other fights.

              He's got enough pre paid air time on networks for all his fighters. But he's flushed all his investors money down the drain and can't afford the purse and production costs for PBC events. That's why all his fighters going to showtime and now HBO instead of PBC which has basically no offical fights in march and has only 2 for the month of feb the lowest amount of PBC events since it debuted. And the overall number of PBC shows per month has dropped since Oct last year. This is not by design this is domino effect of PBC failing and hemorrhaging money.

                I've been thinking for a while that everyone - Haymon, Top Rank, GB, HBO etc - would have to start working together at some point cos quite frankly, the Cold War (in its latest iteration) isn't sustainable - everyone is running out of options and a lot of bad fights are being made because of it. It might be happening sooner than I thought.

                    Must be more than coincedence with the recent PBC financial news that Haymons fighters are moving away from Showtime-PBC.
