[QUOTE=DramaShow;18670858]3 years since its inception and on its last legs, PBC has never quite captured the publics imagination as haymon would have hoped for, amid reports of financial losses and disgruntled fighters.
So why has PBC been a failure? what could have been done differently?[/QUOTE
Well first I think the entire idea of buying time slots across different Networks was really silly and too confusing. If your going to build a brand you should make it easy for viewer to tune in.
Second and most , fights usually don’t draw viewers, fighters do. The biggest issue the PBC had was establishing stars because no one wanted to fight more than twice a year.Comment

I think they're pretty successful. I like how they have their best fighters fight once a year against no hopers. How they pay them alot of money to fight those no hopers then pay em even more to actually fight decent competition. Alao how they're losing tv deals. Yup i think they're successfulComment

Failure according to whom?
They have had great fights and put more on schedule.
Errol Spence Jr. - Lamont Peterson
Danny Garcia - Brandon Rios
David Benavidez* - Ronald Gavril
Deontay Wilder - Luis Ortiz
Jarrett Hurd - Erislandy Lara
Next week we have
Adrien Broner - Jessie Vargas*
Carl Frampton - Nonito Donaire
Jermall Charlo - Hugo Centeno Jr.
Gervonta Davis - Jesus Cuellar
Amir Khan - Phil Lo Greco
Future fights
Adonis Stevenson - Badou Jack
Gary Russell Jr.* - Joseph Diaz
Leo Santa Cruz - Abner Mares
Jermell Charlo - Austin Trout
Errol Spence Jr. - Carlos Ocampo
Other possible big fights being talked about
Deontay Wilder vs Anthony Joshua
Vasyl Lomachenko vs Gervonta Davis
Jermell Charlo vs Jarrett Hurd
Danny Garcia vs Shawn Porter
Joshua doesn't become champion unless Haymon and the PBC put his fighters in against him (making him a bigger star in the sport).
Top Rank doesn't really move to ESPN unless PBC shows them it could be done at that level (The only difference is they have support of the fans and the media).
PBC got so much hate from the beginning even when they had good fights people would find something to complain about, but how much better is everyone else that promotes fights?
Goldenboy only really has Canelo. Loffler has GGG but what else? Duva?
They have stars like Spence and Wilder, more fighters now seem to be willing to fight anyone like the Charlo brothers why don't fans support that? They just need a few more pieces to take them to the next level.Comment

What a sorry ass article and writer. PBC is doing great. It also allows its fighters to have fights on other networks. What more can a boxing fan ask for.Comment
