Every promoter has their favorite son.

PBC is interesting because you have a lot of fighters who have been genuinely convinced by Haymon that they are the "one". Poor fellas, Spence is clearly Haymons lost son.
Sorry Garcia fanboys but Haymon is feeding Danny to the wolves of late.

GGG, I would say crawford but they seem to pair him more reckless. At the same time GGG is avoided and lacks harder comp

I feel like the sport is intrinsically flawed because of this power dynamic. It's far too catastrophic from a business standpoint for that golden boy to lose a fight. Thus leaving fans with repetitive mismatches and bad cards. I really do believe despite bad judging and other annoyances boxing provides, this is boxing biggest problem.
Will the promoter model ever be questioned and a definitive league be created via laws to prevent single sponsorship? Similar to what the NFL did "blank date" to prevent rouge teams and such.
What are some ideas that could combat promoter style boxing but still pay the fighters a salary constructed on simple supply/demand economics? The Salaries currently are not economically justifiable if you look at demand numbers and PPV. The UFC for example pays fighters what they are worth. I know the UFC has it's problems but I think long term it will do great.
What can be done?
