I believe UFC and Dana White will buy out PBC from Haymon and create own belt

[KTFOKING]

Looks like my premonition may come true I called this back in 2017

Report: ‘Rumors are true’ about UFC purchasing Premier Boxing Champions

UFC wouldn't be purchasing the PBC.

That would be Endeavor which is the parent company of the UFC. That is different.

It's amazing that these sanctioning orgs have been able to survive for so long. Casuals don't understand a thing about them and hardcore fans despise them. Why PBC hasn't created 8 belts for the original 8 weight classes yet is beyond me. Probably the reason that the WBO is Top Rank and Warren's puppet and the WBC is PBC and Mexico's puppet. They know they need them more than those ent-ities need the sanctioning orgs.


Look at all the other combat sports; MMA, kickboxing, bare-knuckle. None of them have sanctioning orgs awarding titles. Each promotion has their own set of belts.

It's just talks at the moment. There is nothing official yet. Haymon is just hearing WME out and listening to what they are proposing; Just as he did with DAZN.

However, there is no doubt that Haymon could use the extra capital from the sale of the PBC, to help pay off some of his creditors and investors but I just don't see him selling the majority interest of his company to Endeavor.

Perhaps, he would be willing to sell them between 40-49 percent of his company to them as minority shareholders but definitely not as the majority shareholders or for the entire company.

Sounds like something similar to what Haymon did with his Concert Promotion by Selling Half of it to Live Nation will still having control and working closely with his clients

Getting Ari Emanuel and Patrick Whitesell behind PBC is not a bad thing at all, you're talking about some very POWERFUL and well Connected guys. Also they can help Boxers really grow their brand outside of the ring as well

Yup, sanctioning bodies aint **** but money grabbers. Wme/ufc will just create their own belt save the hassle and not have to pay twenty percent of the fighters purse to defend a wbo or wbc belt.

That way pbc boxing belt fighters dont have to pay out of pocket for a title defense.

Oh, I don't doubt certain sites are using the UFC in their headlines, it's just incorrect. PBC and the UFC would be owned by the same company, but UFC itself won't be owning the PBC.

[MDPopescu]

... UFC is a MMA promotion company...

... PBC isn't even a company... instead, "Haymon Sports" is a company...

No **** Sherlock lol, most people dont know who wme is so we use ufc owners in the title to capture the readers interest.

I actually think a lot of people don't know. I even saw some boxing websites use "UFC interested in purchasing the PBC" and then later change their headline after realizing WME purchasing isn't the same thing.
