What's going on with PBC?

[Sweet Jones]

Of course i cannot give you exact numbers but if you don't think boxers demanding too much money thus scuppering potentially great match up isn't a problem today then you must have your head up your arse.

I'm talking mainly up and comers or contenders here that aren't willing to take a risk unless they a paid as a champion when they aren't one yet.

I keep hearing you screaming about 'overpaid' boxers but you can't seem to tell us what the right amount they should be getting.

Please define what exactly is 'demanding too much money'. What is 'too much money'? Exactly how much should a boxer be getting? And what do you base this on (besides the promoters claiming it is too much money)?

Considering your position on this, should be a fairly easy question for you to answer.

its not so much the "how much they're getting" thats the problem, its the WHO they are getting it for. I think you can say a purse is "too much" when it has a ripple effect and causes more compelling matches to become harder, if not outright impossible, to make.

For example....... Angel Garcia..... "why fight a Thurman when you can fight a Salka for the same money"

Jacobs....... "why fight GGG when its the same money as fighting 2 Quillins"


etc etc

comments like that come from people who have been overpaid......

**** all that

The military is a choice many make....their not forced dumb ASz...they're human fool

Sit your simple ass down

recurring to childish insults when running out of arguments? i thought you were better than this

THE FIGHTERS DESERVE MONEY...A LOT MORE THAN THE SUITS!!!!! fans aren't in their taking any risks

why the hell are so many of you worried about how another person's pockets are lined?

who gives AF.....just line up competitive fights NOT on PPV!!!

where does the money come from? I guess your happy with your favorite fighters fighting no hopers, as long as they get paid.

What a colossal waste of money, unreal. Only in boxing.

Basically, chickens are coming home to roost. You overpay fighters for fighting meaningless fights, then expect them to want ten times more for meaningful fights. Look at what's happening. Tens of mouth-watering fights are supposed to get made and they're rotting instead. Fighters are available; they're in the same stable, thus no promotional issues; but they're not fighting each other.

So now the only affordable fights that can be made are between no name fighters. The ones that were built up for years and at a costly price are in limbo. Most of them will just be added to the fantasy fights list that will never become reality.

Only a peasant would say something like that.

I'd rather get paid well for shi.t fights than paid poorly for shi.t fights.

No need to argue with a tool who don't know much about boxing, their sacrifices and think fighters are robots

Moving on

This is spot on. When guys like Danny Jacobs and Peter Quillen refuse to fight GGG unless there paid multiple millions of dollars when GGG hasn't even been making that then you have a problem.

There are more than one side to this discussion is the thing. Is Jacobs being paid too much or is GGG being paid too little? And if GGG is being paid too little should Jacobs accept short money for that fight just cuz GGG has a ****ty deal?

As a cat just wanting to see fights part of me gives no f#cks about any of this money bs we spend so much time talking about, but as a guy who's pretty solid at trying to look at specific people & their specific situations I see how the economics of that fight might not make sense for Jacobs' life & career based on his current ability to generate income vs the Mora's of boxing. You only got so many years, so many fights in this sport & I see the argument from a boxers point of view that they should be getting their value each & every time out.

They'd make sense if they complained about how much the Promoters were paid.

I don't understand those peasant minded mofos crying about fighters (who get punched in the head for a living) getting "overpaid" .

I guess they like it best when the wealthy underpays people..

American is CLEARLY not the place for people of that mindset...they should go back to Bum****istan with that shi.t
