    How much longer will the professional boxing circus (PBC) go on for?

    Promising to deliver 'the most exciting fights in boxing', the more accurate description would be delivering 'the least competitive match ups' in boxing. Augusts highlight was spence v bundu, septembers mega match up was jacobs v mora 2 and our end of year boxing bonanza is garcia v vargas. Surely people wont continue to tune in for this ****? With haymons finances apparantly being less than secure, will 2017 be the year that PBC dies? And is there anyone on this site who feels that PBC has been good for the sport?

        What? The ratings for PBC have been horrible.

        But I think it will be around in some form for another 2 years, just with less and less shows on less networks...which is probably better anyways.

        I predict a lot of "Showtime presents the PBC" shows where showtime pays for the fights. Haymon has Espinoza wrapped around his finger.

          You mean you predict PBC will get what it wants? (Networks paying). I agree.

              What about the upcoming fights? Charlo vs J Rock, Frampton vs Santa Cruz II, Mikey Garcia vs Dejan Zlaticanin, Jack Culcay vs Demetrius Andrade, Cullar vs Mares, Garcia vs Porter early next year?

              These are all legit championship fights involving the top guys at these divisions. They're not mega fights though but still very interesting.

                GGG fan calling PBC a circus, like he didn't just fight a WW in his last fight.

                    Who cares, welterweights have moved up to challenge for the middleweight title for generations, it's not like he fought and sought out Rob Salsa, he was challenged by a very big, prime welterweight world champ. Anyway regarding PBC I want to give it a chance but every year it just holds the sport back, so many ***ing fighters, and the guys are twidling their thumbs, cherrypickin and expecting ******ed paydays before having a decent fight to raise their stock that is followed by tumbleweeds and crickets as you wonder where they've gone for the rest of the year.
