Are promoters freezing out PBC?

[Motorcity Cobra]

This is a trend I'm noticing. These promoters will use PBC B-side fighters to fight their A-side's but they aren't even sending their B-sides to fight PBC A-side's. There is no reason Linares shouldn't be fighting Garcia. Or Bradley & Vargas should be out this long when they could be fighting PBC welterweights.

It's not even really a secret they're doing it. Luis Ortiz left Golden Boy because they wouldn't let him fight Wilder, that's on record in court.

This is like when HBO banned Haymon fighters and everybody was ok with that. Why be ok with a network stopping fights?

How many fights can you name where a Top Rank, Golden Boy, K2, or Main Events fighter fought a PBC fighter on a PBC card?

I suspect that they are trying to freeze PBC out.

It's why HBO's schedule has been so crappy lately and also why Bob Arum has had to resort to making his own PPV's.

They are trying to do business without Haymon fighters even if it means putting out a below average product.

pbc is as good as dead. haymons experiment failed.

You would have to ask Haymon about that, maybe he doesn't want his A-side to lose to the other promoters.

Jacobs was his A-side who fought on HBO. Khan was another one of his A-side fighters who fought on HBO. Answer the questions I posted in the topic.

Does PBC want the B-side fighters from other promoters?

Dont think Golden Boy will do anything to let Jacobs get near the WBO

NO ONE wants to have their A side or name B sides or future prospects that could become either of those to lose out of house lol. Or at least 99% of the time they don't. You can sometimes make it happen, but its a super rarity.

That's why the whole sport of boxing is always in some version of a stalemate cuz x won't work with y who won't work with z who won't work with x & all sorts of silly ass sh^t like that.

You mentioned Jacobs and Khan...Dominic Wade might count as another one. I doubt that Russell was under Haymon when he fought Loma.

The thing is you have guys like DiBella and Tom Brown who won't work with those other guys as well and they fall within the PBC/Haymon umbrella
