    Only poster JoeMan usually brings up the activity of fighters. The inactivity complaint is what posters that do not like Haymon or PBC bring up as a criticism. Where have you seen Floyd fans criticize TR or GBP fighters for not being active??
    You do realize this is in reaction to that biased poster M Cobra.
    Who expects Bobfather to get non TR Thurman for Crawford,
    yet expects nothing from his beloved Haymon when it comes to
    making fights among his own fighters.
    It doesn't make any sense, does it, no matter where you look at it?

      I'm a huge fan of the PBC concept and of Showtime and Al Haymon, they've given us great fights for free especially this year, but I freakin hate it when the big time fighters start becoming inactive as soon as they're on the verge of becoming more popular. Keith beats Porter in a war where he gained a lot of fans, then he takes a whole year off, and as a result he lost most of the fans he made vs Porter, then he came back to fight Garcia, a fight that didn't make the numbers that I expected and he wins in a relatively smooth fight, the what does he do? he takes another year off where people totally forget about him.

      Errol Spence fights Bundu right after the olympics and 6 Million people watch him. next thing you know he's off for a year and then came back to fight Brook again losing a lot of the casual fans he made the year before due to them forgetting about him because he was irrelevant for a year, then he beats Brook and makes tons of fans again and again he's probably gonna take 1 year off. Same with Danny Garcia, same with Deontay Wilder, Leo Santa Cruz, Gary Russell, Daniel Jacobs and the list goes on and on!

        I'm with you doe. There have been no extensive explanation for it other than PBC is broke, things like that, which some still deny to this day.

          It's frustrating, I know.

            Poor Spence. He wants to fight next month in his hometown.
            Yet Espinoza and Haymon are unable to make things happen.

              I wanted to bold specific lines in this post.
              I ended up bolding up the whole thing.
              You can't argue with this.
              And this from a known pro Haymon/Floyd poster.

                Yep, there have been no official explanation for it.
                September is coming, let's just hope they'll come up with some in November or December.

                  The guy is on record saying he wants to fight in September or October this year in his hometown in Texas.
                  What is Haymon doing about it?

                    But when Lara or Rigo tweet names Arum and Loeffler get trashed like garbage.
                    And they're obligated to call these clowns' bluffs even though they have different promoter and management teams.
                    In this case, which is far easier to accomplish because there are many available fighters in house, no one wants to blame Haymon or Espinoza.

                      Frustrating part here for Spence fans is Haymon and Espinoza didn't spend a single cent in Errol's last fight and gained a title on his own.
                      Yet look at him sitting on the shelf going for 8 months before seeing him back in the ring.
                      Last time it was justified because of Brook.
                      What is the justification this time?
                      This guy should accept GBP's offer.
                      He will rot in the PBC camp like many others.
