I don't care what the specific article said 
You don't have to be a genius to understand that buying airtime wasn't a great idea - and he pissed away an enormous amount of money, in order to get others out of the market. And he failed miserably as the competition grew stronger and the losses he took were astronomic, as was evident by the lack of airtime bought in the last two years compared to the first few years. If something works, you keep doing it - About the first thing you learn in business school is to double down on the winner.
You're a Haymon fangirl. I get it. It's okay to want him to succeed - But you can't dispute the facts, and that is that the PBC brand is dead. If you took it away and just staged fights, no one beyond boxing fans would care or even notice. And has that been worth 600+ million in expenses? No.
Maybe in your mind it does, but since the investors that backed the PBC project refused to invest any more cash, clearly they don't.
But it's great they made a deal with Fox - This has been known for weeks though. So it's not news to me. But the more boxing the better - it doesn't take away from the fact that it has been a massive failure so far and it has no impression on the american or any other public, at all.
And with regards to me having an MBA, I don't really care what a simple fanboy like you believe or don't believe to be honest But I can send you my CV, Linkedin and several sources showing my credentials.
