Comments Thread For: Hearn is Eager To Sign Fighters, But Won't Make PBC Mistake

[filup79]

Fighters should be fighting 3 to 4 times a year unless at the end of their career or they were in a war. Fighters got to 100 plus fights back in the day by staying active. I'm not saying fight every month however you should be fighting quality opposition regularly. Top 20 opposition excluding mandatory and unification bouts if you're a champion.

Fighters fight as much as they want to. Reason fighters were fighting over 100 times back then was because they were fighting bums and needed the money as the pay wasn't that well. A lot of fighters choose to fight 2 or 3 times year, this isn't like any other sport where you get 3-4 months after a season. a lot of fighters get paid well enough to fight twice a year and a lot of them aren't just boxers but also business men who have things going on other than boxing. People expect fighters to train for a fight, fight the fight and go back to another training camp ASAP for another fight. Boxers now a days make good money that they can take time of to spend with their family a travel.

The problem with PBC was you had a bunch of fighters who wanted big paychecks but didn't want to take any risk. You can't manage fighters and promote. If you're going to be a promoter you are going to have to make fights that you know some fighters will lose to boost the appeal of your top fighters. Now you have all these qusi fighters walking around that havn't really proved anything in years. Who's the top fighter in the PBC stable? You can make a case for anyone and that's not good. With Matchroom it's AJ, moneyteam it's Daves, Warren it is a tie between Fury or saunders, golden boy it's Canelo, Duva it's the russian lol.

I think you got it twisted. PBC fighters fight better fighters more often than any other banner out there & the ones that don't are being avoided by the other banners....You can name those fighters from the other banner because they don't have anyone else....lol....PBC is loaded with all the talent in the game.

gaymon totally screwed up by over paying for bum fights that led to boxers being greedy and wanting more. Now everyone wants 7 figures to fight bums.

Bull****, the ones that are over paid are everyone but the fighters in the game.

Pbc chose to look out for fighters financially but didn't do much to help their legacy. They made good purses but would only fight once or twice a yr. If Hearn is being truthful, this could be very good for boxing fans because there should be more fights that fans want to see taking place more often.

You guys gotta stop with the lies. You guys say they don't fight but when they are fighting you guys say they only fight bums. Try telling the other fighters promoters to try to mix it up with the PBC Fighters, oh wait they too scared to cuz they know they would lose & don't want to stop the gravy-train they are riding.

Haymon made many mistakes but his biggest one was overpaying fighters for fighting bums. Lots of his guys had a good few years of comfort fighting bums for nice paydays, and now that the pot of gold has dried up they aren't happy they've got to fight live opponents. Although some fighters like tank and Charlo are still happy to fight the lower level competition and just accept they won't get paid aswell.

Tell the other teams to fight the PBC Fighters. Bet you that wont go far.

I don't know bro recently there has been many unifications between PBC Fighters and they have been fighting the best except for Danny Garcia

Al Haymon is only worth $15 million because he overpays fighters. Now he has a stable full of fighters all looking for easy payday fights. Some might look at that as a good thing - but I don't. As a fan, you should want the system create the best fights. Haymon's fights haven't been great with a few exceptions and those fights are few and far between.

You just mad cuz Floyd is T.B.E. lmmfao

pbc don't make mistakes!

I disagree with your assessment. Hearn is paying Jacobs more for fighting Arias, than Jermall Charlo has made EVER. That's why Jacobs was clowning him! They've had of HIGH-RISK fights in the PBC, too many to name. Haymon even got Jacobs the GGG fight. Let's see what Hearn gets for Jacobs. Let's see what Hearn gets for Miller, then we can compare.

Let's run down those high risk fights for Jacobs besides Canelo which was his mando and kid chocolate who's career was ruin when PBC didn't want to work with Jay Z. Jacob's fought Mora Twice for no reason!
