    But it's a fact he overpaid fighters for fighting sub par opponents.
    There was no sensible explanation for it other than he's afraid to lose those fighters.
    He paid Leo Santa Cruz $750K for fighting sparring partners.
    Gift for $700K for fighting Salka.
    Lara $1 mil each for fights such as Zaveck, Rodriguez, etc.
    And so on...
    And thus those same fighters now want millions of dollars for tougher fights.
    He is officially the advisor of all these fighters and he's getting his cut (probably around 20%) everytime they step in the ring.

    However, I don't get it why he's letting all these fighters lose momentum every ****ing time. Maybe he's just a ****ty promoter. He has so much talent signed but the PBC brand is still not established yet.

      That's the complicated part I don't have an answer to.
      Obviously, he started with a plan and initial fund signing up all these hundreds of fighters. That fund is all used up, according to others.
      Now, PBC relies heavily on Showtime's budget, which is not enough to accommodate all these fighters.
      What I don't understand is why are other networks not stepping up and buying fights they deem would produce decent ratings. Fox, NBC, Spike, etc.
      Personally, I really don't care which network boxing is shown.
      I don't even subscribe to others' opposition to PBC being shown on many different networks.

        Seems it's happening again.
        Last time it took him 9 months to see him back in the ring.
        Last time they blamed Brook for taking too long to decide.
        Who are they blaming this time?

          He's fighting in Dec. Expect an announcement soon.

          As far as your other comments, try to use sound logic. Clearly he was waiting on Brook. In case you didn't notice, he had six fights in 16 months before becoming the mandatory challenger. Of course you didn't notice because you're too busy sticking to your flimsy agenda.

            Real shame we haven't haven't had any news on Spence getting back in the ring soon.

            He is a true talent and the real future star of the PBC stable imo. Haymon should get him a fight asap.

            Even if Thurman needs time, get him a fight with Peterson for the end of this year to stay busy. That is a great matchup that isn't a complete mismatch but that Spence should win while adding a nice name to his resume.
