PBC = Part-time Boxing Champions

[Tony Trick-Pony]

Nothing has changed isn't it?
Spence fought once this year.
The Charlo sisters have been around for years, yet hasn't even reached Thurman level popularity.

True.

Activity is terrible.

I wonder if these guys tell people they meet they are fighters and the person asks them when there last fight was. They tell them and the person wonders what kind of fighter fights once a year? Probably embarrassing.

Jesse vargas signed with him lol

Now haymon just going to feed vargas to the wolves

Danny Garcia has disappeared.
One loss, no injuries, and he vanished.

I don't think this is on Haymon. Maybe Garcia could fight a bum but he sure doesn't seem to eager to fight anyone worth a damn after looking completely outclassed by Thurman. I have heard Garcia vs Porter. He doesn't want Porter. One more quick loss to Danny and he's in the Broner category of fighters.

I remember the usual suspects on here invading a thread about how PBC didnt have many dates in 2016 and would be just as bare in 2017...they hammered that thread but this has been the worst year yet.

In a shorter period of time, Arum has taken truly high class boxing to ESPN and shown Haymon how to do it.

PBC is a **** show and in all honesty, probably a front for Haymon.

I've been hopeful this year and had hoped to see fights like Lara vs Charlo1 or Lara vs Andrade, Jacobs vs Charlo2, Swift vs Porter, Adonis vs a live body, Spence fighting in Sept or October, Khan coming out of retirement, etc. Mikey still has no fight scheduled yet even though he wants to fight 3 times a year.
PBC/SHO have been wasting these guys' prime years and made them inactive.

Vargas hasn't fought in over a year, so at least he's already accustomed to the PBC schedule.

[rickJen]

I'm sure even a mediocre Vargas would be ducked mercilessly by these part-time boxers. Expect to see him with semi-retired Collazo, or F Diaz, you know, disposable guys. Can't believe Collazo and Diaz have disappeared also languishing in their shelves.
Vargas vs Swift or one of these PBC part-timers woud be far from happening.

[SplitSecond]

Really holding the sport back.

I've just gone through their official 2017 schedule and their match ups have been terrible. Apart from 5 relevant bouts, the rest of the fights were either up and comer against semi retired pro or journeyman or between 2 guys well past it/has beens. It is just a horrendous way of running a so called boxing promotion.

On top of that, I'm not even sure how many of their fights were televised and those that were, most were televised on random unknown channels. What a shambles.
