Boxing turned into an industry that was completely subsidized by HBO and Showtime. Rather than show the fighters that sell tickets (which means the fans want to see said fighter) or buy the fights that fans wanted to see, HBO has spent the last decade completely off-course, trying to build stars that fit their agenda that was not based on hard numbers or reality.
Promoters barely promote fights anymore in America. They get the HBO check and book the fight at whatever casino will give them a nice site fee. They spent the decade taking no risks and doing nothing to grow the sport, and people actually wonder how it got to the point where Crawford-Postol is on PPV but Andre Ward's tuneup is on HBO.

Fight won't happen unless it's PPV. Crawford wanted too much money. At least it was made.
At PBC if a fighter wants money Haymon can't afford he'd just sweep it under the rug and forget about it. Why else is Garcia taking extended vacation? He wants huge money even on a Berto fight.
HBO would have made Garcia vs Thurman in a heartbeat if these guys are HBO fighters. And look at how Garcia/Thurman seems so hard to make at PBC. Took years before the Thurman/Porter happen.Last edited by jqSide; 08-01-2016, 04:37 PM.
