    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.

      He was a STAR and on his way to Superstar before the Injury! Thurman was bringing in BIG RATINGS every time he fought so I don't see how PBC hurt him when they featured him the most and he was the face of PBC when it first started

            Without the PBC he wouldn't have gotten millions of views on FOX

              Has nothing to do with PBC. If he was the best in his weight class and stayed busy he could be but I don’t see it happening.

                Imagine Keef on Golden Boy or Top Rank....
                (When PBC started Thurman was the LeBron.... ratings ect.)

                Shame most forgot about Keef.
                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)

                  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.

                    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?

                    Being out for 2 years is what stopped his momentum.

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