Comments Thread For: Premier Boxing Champions is Far From Over, Says Promoter

[Fetta]

Got to give the haymon groupies props for their loyalty. Even the hitler groupies tried to run like b^tches when the red army arrived.

Haymon has the biggest stable in boxing by far, and had 400mil at his disposal and still managed to fail. Them pbc fanboys say hbo is no better.

HBO put forward crawford/postol, kovalev/ward, gonzalez/cuadras, and loma/walters all in the same year. #1 vs #2 at 140, the fight for #1p4p and 175 supremacy, current #1p4p vs #2 at 115(could have been vs #1 at 115 but inoue be scared), loma/walters arent considered the best at 130 but thats because they have barely fought there. However i wouldnt bet against loma or walters if they fought anyone else at 130.

Thats 4 great matches in 2016. But hey, pbc has garcia vs vargas and most in their roster barely fought in 2016. PBC be free doe! If i wanted free stuff i would move to venezuela. Apparently free stuff has a cost. But that isnt even a real issue in this case. If you cant afford it you can always stream, or keep out of nsb for a couple of hours until it gets uploaded somewhere. No reason to complain about great hbo matches, but plenty to protest pbc mismatches.

PBC is dead, and for any true boxing fan that is cause for celebration. Up until the early 2000's boxing was good enough. Although leonard carved the path to what would happen by what he did to hagler, you couldnt hate him too much because he fought everyone, was past prime, and had issues with his retina. Sure bowe was disgusting in his ducking of lewis, but you couldnt blame it that much to boxing. Bowe was just trash that didnt even deserve to live. When you have a guy that kidnaps his wife and kids, and stabs his wife in the chest during that process, vacating a belt is the least of your problems.

After the mid 2000's scum like haymon started taking over and the ducking era began spawning things like: floyd jr, berto, broner, andre dirrell, quillin, danny jacobs, pederson, the pimp, khan, and many more. Not only did he directly create duckers, he overpayed them in the proccess, and convinced boxers that fighting bums for big bucks was the way to go. Now that this charade is over all the divas he created will have to either participate in a competitive sport, as it always should have been, or go back to flipping burgers because if you chose boxing it was probably because you didnt have much of a brain to begin with.

Mismatch hour is over and pbc is dead. You dont burn through 400mil and have your boxers competing once a year because you're business is being profitable. PBC was just a cash grab aimed to make a quick buck out of dumb billionares. Real boxing fans are happy and i cant wait until the official "PBC declares bankrupcy" thread gets stickied. I will personally contribute with some memes. I feel slightly sorry for the pathetic "boxing fans" that will miss bouts like garcia vs salka.

Boxing was bad before the 2000's but at least you only blaming Haymon for the last 16 years.....16 years!

And what are ypu talking about with leonard/hagler and bowe trashing title? Do you even know what years those were

His rant was all over the place. He just picked like 3 different decades to moan about and tried to tie it all in to PBC.

This place attracts more crazy people than Area 51.

It's like the name Al Haymon has driven them to mass psychosis.

I have long been a Haymon fan. Not anymore. Right now he should be making great match-ups at least every other month. Garcia, Thurman, Spence, Khan at ww. Charlos and Lubin and Lara and Williams at 154. Garcia continually fought the top guy at 140. Over the last three years he has fought Peterson. Other than that he has fought stay busy fights. For over three years. Why has Thurman fought Porter and a whole lot of bums? Why doesn't Haymon make someone fight Spence? Why is there big fights taking place at 154?

PBC was set-up to fail. No regularity- no one knew (knows) when PBC is going to be on and on what channel. Its on a crazy amount of different networks and all scheduled haphazardly. Every single Tuesday should be toe-to-toe Tuesdays on FS1. A good fight on Spike one or two Saturdays a month. Then big fights on network t.v. on primetime on Friday or Saturday night. Instead he has Wilder facing complete bums on big network cards. They had about a month of toe-to-toe Tuesdays and then just stopped. Fans should know when a fight is on without having to check PBC's website. We don't. Haymon wants all these undefeated fighters. Fans want to see good fights not an elite fighter simply staying busy and undefeated. Arum is even worse and ODLH is too cracked out to know what's going on and Loeffler is probably the worst of all of them. I'm done. I watched Mayweather, but I'm not watching Garcia-Vargas or any other such fight. These guys have been built up. They are not going to get one more fan by ko'ing nobodies. Spence is probably the only fighter I really want to see. Haymon has 200 fighters a crazy amount of money and we had what, 5 or 6 good fights in 2 years? I don't want to see any TR mismatches on HBO, do not want to see G fighting the cab driver of the month and do not care to see Garcia, Stevenson, Lara, Broner or any other elite fighting facing horrible opposition on any channel.

Just in case you're laughing about my post I'm curious what part of it is laughably wrong? Waddell and reed is a publicly traded company therefore the earnings are public. The information is available.... Maybe confused about the SEC part? I'm not referring to the SEC conference but the Securities and exchange commision.

[Bullrider]

It's possible PBC is a multi billion dollar project with long-term objectives. Who knows? Seems crazy throwing away hundreds of millions of dollars with no ending game in mind. We'll soon see how it will go next year. Thurman vs Garcia would be a fairly big fight next year. Lara vs Andrade would be a possibility; Spence vs Brook, Peterson vs Porter, etc. There's Peralta the cab driver who is a new addition to PBC's stable.

PBC is not going anywhere. When their money for the free networks runs out, it will only go back to the normal venues. You will see PBC on Showtime, HBO, Espn and other cable outlets. All that will change is seeing the free network tv networks backing away.

The post spoke about how boxing didnt have a "duck everyone" policy until the early 2000's. It also mentioned that although leonard/hagler and bowe dumping the title had occured these were mainly isolated incidents that didint become the norm until the 2000's. UNTIL THE 2000's. Meaning leonard/hagler and bowe/vacating occured BEFORE the 2000's.

I know its hard for all you *****/haymon supporters to keep up with what is written in posts but you should really step it up. I know its hard considering most of you can't read and you're all hudled up in the house of the one ***** that actually reached middle school and can read some.

However its not much to ask that in this day and age you actually learn to read. The ***** that writes these responses should at least look up the word "before". Its the 3rd word written in all caps in this post.
