    Why do people want PBC to fail?

    Just an honest question.

    I see so many posters rooting for them to bad ratings, go broke, lose in their court battles...

    I know that the easy answer is because it fractures the boxing game more, and in the process there are some fights that cant be made, but then why not blame all the parties responsible for refusing to work with each other?

    Whats become painfully obvious to me that there are too many fighters/fights out there for just ONE network. HBO has a tight/shrinking budget. They only have so many dates to give. The math doesnt add up.

    So unless we want all the big name fighters to start taking paycuts and the undercard fighters fight for peanuts, the fact is that there needs to be more then one successful boxing outlet.

    What say you?

      I don't think anyone wants to see PBC fail. Just a bunch of fanboys arguing to no end about who's better, HBO or PBC and since both groups want to be right and Bly way that happens is if one or the other fails.

      Honestly both sides say dumb **** and should just enjoy all boxing rather it's HBO, PBC, or whatever else.

        It depends what you mean by "fail". If the goal is to have complete monopoly over the sport of boxing, then yes, I definitely want PBC to fail. I think one man having a monopoly on boxing is a bad thing, especially given this man's shady/corrupt/manipulative history.

        But, if PBC can have a couple strong series with good matchmaking on a couple networks, then I'm all for it.

          Simple:

          1. Many fans hate Floyd Mayweather
          2. Floyd Mayweather is managed by Al Haymon
          3. PBC is controlled by Al Haymon

          So let's solve the equation:

          Hating Mayweather = Hating Haymon = Hating PBC

              It's ******ed that any fan would want the PBc to fail

              Boxing already a niche sport why would anyone be cheering for it to become less successful. PBC has put on probably 75% of the non PPV competitive matchups in the states since they've been up and running and have shown the whole spectrum of boxing from up and comers to elites.but for a select few who just recite the propaganda that ***.gots like Rafeal, Kim , Lampley and a few others spew this is seen as a bad thing for the sport

                  I don't like Haymon. Not only is he a criminal, he encourages "fight bums for big bucks" which is the reason so many big fights aren't getting done when they matter.

                  Also PBC has cheap production values and weak matches.
