    PBC Out Of Money! Oh No Wait...



    Seems like boxing IN GENERAL in the US is struggling to keep these guys active probably because nobody is looking to invest much into boxing right now, not HBO or SHOWTIME and neither of the Promotions then with them not working together really makes things impossible. Arum did lose money for that Crawford vs Postol mainevent

    Investors not investing into boxing anymore!

        Lack of opponents and HBO's stingy ass, doesn't help anyone.

        A no name opponent hurts uncle Bobby's wallet.

          Biggest problem with american boxing... Score a big win and then waste all momentum by being inactive or taking crap fights..

          See:
          Danny beating lucas
          Crawford beating postal
          Jacobs beating quillen
          Stevenson beating dawson
          Canelo beating cotto
          Rigo beating donaire

            Its because these fighters are demanding too much money and don't want to fight tough fights unless they get obscene paychecks.

            Haymon created this environment and now the sport is a mess. Everyone saw the Andre Berto treatment and they all want hat he got.

            But there is no money anymore. The only reason guys lioe Berto got the $ was because the networks would make the $ back on ppv.

            Without ppv there is no money, so why should networks pay for these guys?

            Problem Is promoters promised their fighters big paychecks when things were good. If they cant oay the contracted fees the fighters can break the contract. So promoters are just keeping them inactive instead.

            This sport is a complete fcking mess. It's not all haymons fault, but the majority of it is.
