Originally posted by -DSG- View PostYet there are a whole bunch of top fighters aligned with PBC who have only fought once this year who are in need of bouts. They include Daniel Jacobs, Garcia, Thurman, Shawn Porter, Adonis Stevenson, Andre Berto, Jermall Charlo, Jermell Charlo, Julian Williams, Erislandy Lara, Vanes Martirosyan, James DeGale, Badou Jack, Anthony Dirrell, Andre Dirrell, Austin Trout, Adrien Broner, Rances Barthelemy, Gary Russell Jr., John Molina Jr., Dejan Zlaticanin, Jose Pedraza, Edner Cherry and Lee Selby, among others.
Perhaps some of the fighters have fought only once by design but certainly not all of them or even most of them. But when so much of the money that was once there to bankroll PBC cards is gone, it's hard to keep guys busy at their expected purse level.
There are others who have not fought at all this year, including Peter Quillin, Devon Alexander, Lamont Peterson, Jesus Cuellar and Abner Mares.

Haymon signed a lot of boxers but they've had far fewer shows this year than originally planned and some of them have been inactive or taken non-PBC/SHO fights.
His roster seemed a bit unweildy even when they were putting on shows regularly...and now they aren't doing that, with fewer shows and some postponements to next year.

But i hope not. Promoters not working together is what killed this sport IMO. Way before PBC came along but we will see. Not over yet

But I'm not sure how even he will be able to keep all of Haymon's boxers busy.
