Originally posted by lightsout_finitCould you actually give me a reason how the consumer would benefit from a boxing monopoly??
Don't ufc fighters get paid peanuts compared to their boxing counterparts??
Why would anyone want pbc, top rank, golden boy etc to be the only game
in town?? That is bad for the consumer.
Also a monopoly would make it even easier for a cherry picking promoter
to completely freeze out already avoided fighters.
Boxing has plenty of duckin right now. It would only get worse as a
monopoly.
If you disagree please explain
Do NFL, MLB and NBA use the same business model as Pro boxing??
Do they have PPV??
Yep. Couldn't agree more.
A sucker will always be foolish with his time and money I suppose...
This reminds of the pc master race vs console peasant videos you see on youtube.
With the fighters at the table when the money is being discussed/negotiated, PBC fighters have access to too much information to end up getting shorted like UFC fighters.Comment

well technically they are. They control the matchups, the purses, the ticket prices, the network platform, the advertising revenue, the event revenue, and they are the ones risking the capital.
Those are all pretty much the functions of a promoter.Comment

Most of the best fights in the US were PBC this year anyway.Comment

Why do successful and educated black men threaten you so much?Comment

Boxing under one umbrella is good if the top fighters under it are fighting each other. PBC fighters have been built up already. How many more fights do they need before fighting each other?
Monopoly or not, it doesn't matter. It all boils down to making meaningful fights happen.Last edited by al-Xander; 09-20-2016, 01:34 PM.Comment

PBC is different from the UFC, for the simple fact that the main "decision maker" is coming to the table from the fighter's perspective, rather than solely from the investor's perspective (Dana White's sole aim is to maximize the take for him and the Fertita brothers).
With the fighters at the table when the money is being discussed/negotiated, PBC fighters have access to too much information to end up getting shorted like UFC fighters.
Dana White was/is all about the UFC brand and pushing that stance, not on his "take" as you mentioned. This same push behind PBC hasn't been going on. It is still favoring specific fighters only.Comment
