    R.i.p. Pbc



    WTF Happened to that thing? I remeber sources saying that it was sold off cause it became too expensive to lug around and build up and tear down in the turnaround time the venues needed.

    I also heard that it broke and fell at a lara fight but no one was injured because no one was there. (shout out to daggum)

        truss systems for grand events are traditionally or usually always modular, so taking it a part is rather easy, BUT you'd most likely want to work with the client who designed it, and that means also paying each guy setting it up. bendable LED screens and modular truss systems are superBAD in Asia. nothing new.

        But I would agree that sending this thing around from varying states if needed for big PBC events would of course be costly. It has to be justified vs using the house venue system.

            isn't that fight financed by showtime? pbc seems like its dead already but its only alive in name. maybe showtime will take over full time and make it work? who knows lets talk to al haymon and get his thoughts.......
