No, he actually got preferential star treatment from PBC by being put on CBS on two big fights against Porter/DSG. Also was on NBC for the PBC kick off. This guy got his two biggest wins back to back and just went M.I.A. for two years. You can't blame anyone but him for that.
Would Keith Thurman be a superstar if not on PBC??

Before he went out with an injury who was getting higher TV ratings and selling more tickets than him? (besides Canelo and GGG of course)Comment

That's my point actually... People have forgot about "One Time" who IMO is STILL the best 147lbs fighter in boxing & that includes Spence & Crawford.
It's Crawford, Then Thurman (only cause the layoff), then.............. Spence.
Any MAIN event at 147lbs should go thru Keith not Spence.Comment

Keith was getting higher ratings and selling more tickets than anybody on Top Rank. So you're telling me if he was with Top Rank now and injured he'd be a bigger star?That's my point actually...

Being out for 2 years is what stopped his momentum.Comment

I actually used the PBC name as click bait for people to stop sleeping on Thurman.Comment
