Any big fight that could be made out of the PBC stable?

[rickJen]

I mean similar to Glovkin vs Cnelo?
So fans could have something to look forward to.
Any suggestion how PBC fighters could get there?

Forget big fights, any chance they actually fight?

Thurman vs Spence Jr is one of the best fights in the sport and should happen in 2018. It'll do great ratings on CBS

Hopefully...

Thurman-Porter and Thurman-Garcia were big successes on CBS and were subsidized by Showtime. No excuse not to go the same route with Thurman-Spence. Hopefully the Pacquiao-Crawford-Horn triangle gets sorted in 2018 as well.

Thurman-Spence winner vs. Pacquaio-Crawford winner would be the most meaningful fight in boxing to me.

Thurman vs Spence is a big fight, apparently.
What else can be made within the PBC premises?
It doesn't have to be that big...
Maybe Mikey vs Swift or Mikey vs Thurman...
How about Lara vs the Lubin/Charlo winner.

That's the bigger problem.
Seems it's now become harder to make top fighters fight each other.
Networks used to always find a way to make meaningful fights happen.

after it is signed, Thurman will get an ingrown toenail and be out for the rest of 2018

No, because it's a different business model. HBO's goal is to portray a chosen few as head and shoulders above all others and then charge you a ton of money to watch them.

Haymon's new model is to shine a light on as many top fighters as possible and never charge you a ton to watch any of them.

So fans could have something to look forward to.

If you follow Haymon's ecosystem, there are always big fights to look forward to.

Next week, Leo Santa Cruz and Abner Mares defend their world titles on the same show and if they both win, they'll meet in a big fight early next year.

Next week, the WBC, WBA and IBF 154 pound world champions will all be fighting on the same card and the winners will be unifying their titles in big fights next year.

A few weeks later, Showtime features the WBC, WBA and IBF world heavyweight championships in consecutive weeks as Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder face their mandatory challengers on the road to a huge unification late next year. King Kong Ortiz continues to lurk as Joshua's other mandatory, but also wants a shot at Wilder.

Shawn Porter risks his WBC mandatory position on the undercard before facing WBC/WBA welterweight champion Keith Thurman next year.

Later this year, Errol Spence defends his IBF title against Lamont Peterson, his gave up his WBA title to make the fight possible, with the winner looming as a major opponent for the Thurman/Porter winner.

Is PBC still a thing? I thought Albezzler Haymoneyless would have moved to Costa Rica under an assumed name by now.

[al-Xander]

PBC/SHO got the most number of fighters, so they should be able to come up with many. Lara vs Andrade should have been a big fight, relatively speaking. But that ship has sailed now. Andrade was available, people found out that Lara's camp wanted none of that fight. He was focused on green guys like Hurd, Harrison, till he found Gausha.

Bottom line is Haymon and Espinoza are powerless.
