PBC has TONS of money in the bank

No the PBC won't prevent fighters from getting brain damaged. That was just an example of me saying how I care for their well being. Too many boxers end up in ****ty conditions when they're done and the promoters never seem to care.

That's why you should stop supporting mismatches. They have the potential of sending the Salka fighter to the hospital and leave him comatose. They're extremely dangerous. Mismatches don't benefit the investors, they don't benefit the fans. They only benefit the overpaid Haymon fighter. Watch how Quillin almost killed Zerafa on Youtube. Go ahead. One of these days Haymon would even get sued for these dangerous mismatches.

Oh you mean like Wade-Golovkin and Crawford-Lundy?

Oh.... ok

HBO, SHO, PBC, they should never be supported. Wade at least got $500K. Salka got $120K, Zerafa probably got $50K. That's how low Haymon treat Salka fighters, but treat his top fighters too high.

Yeah... I mean Top Rank and Golden Boy are shelling out HUGE purses for Solo Boxeo and TV Azteca. So huge they range in the $8,000 range hahahaha

Look the guy I quoted talked about how he cares about fighters. How he cares about their well being. Yet he's okay with Haymon mismatches. That's just stoopid.

$8,000 for main event fighters.

$2,500 for undercarriage fighters.

Hahahaha

Mismatches are never okay. So when you say you care about fighters' well being, what you really mean is "I only care about Haymon fighters. Could care less about Salka fighters."

And the PBC is most likely looking for an UFC model. Fight on CBC/NBC/Fox every month and then a ppv a few times a year. That's not ideal, but it's better imo than just having those fights be on subscription TV. I like being able to call my friends and tell them to turn it to channel 4. Or being able to go to a bar and watch Garcia and Guerrero go to war.

Would a UFC model actually be good for fighters though? Certainly financially the UFC doesn't seem to be better for their big stars versus the big stars in boxing. I'm not sure having one entity would improve the conditions for fighters, the UFC makes more money off their fighters than any of the current boxing promoters do. In terms of the well-being of fighters that is really more an issue of the regulation and governing of the sport, which of course varies from country to country and indeed US state to US state. Promoters simply work within the legal framework. The truth of the matter is that fighters are as quick to show a lack of loyalty and obligation to managers and promoters as managers and promoters are to them.

Is being on HBO or Showtime, in this day and age, really contracting interest in boxing? I suppose I just doubt that that is actually the case. Most people will never be interested in boxing in general, it is simply a few isolated fighters that can capture peoples imagination and you don't necessarily need to have any of their major fights on free-to-air tv to achieve that.

Good point. I don't think Haymon would be liable for that though. That would probably fall on the commission like when the commission didn't sanction Ward's fight last year.

Overall absolutely. There'd be more safety measures that would be easier to establish & implement, more PED testing & better pay for those guys on the way up. It'd be bad for the Floyd's & Manny's in that the ceiling on money would be lower. More importantly doe it'd be AMAZING for boxing the sport & would be GREAT for fans who'd get to see the fights they wanna see when they wanted to see them without promoters trying to marinate every last potential PPV buy they can get over the course of a year or two.
