    Agreed. i was on here when Al Haymon first unveiled PBC and EVERYBODY who wasnt black was ****tin' on the PBC and were saying that by "such & such time PBC will be bankrupt, look at the article on reddit & such n such" everybody somehow became a financial consultant on financial matters all of a sudden.
    PBC has produced some of the best fights of any network.
    i watch all boxing but i lean more towards PBC bc most of the fighters in the united snakes is on the pbc platform & convenient

      Oh God. That reddit article. Where is Mitchell Kane, big dunny, killakaki and the rest?

      I remember Laces Up saying “they lost 500 million!” like the investors were playing short on a time buy

      Matter of fact, I was arguing with people on here months ago who said Fox would never give them a deal.

        Thats boxings problem in general, but PBC is pro level at it, it keeps edging & just loses its erection w/o ever cumming after awhile lol.

        PBC gots a ******ed roster yet they aren't even trying to make the big fights as often as they could almost FOUR years in. Im tired of this patience is a virtue bs.

        Boxing is the only sport that does this backwards sh^t that keeps the sport at a niche level cuz casuals don't wanna watch all these bs matchups where the favorite is -1000 or higher to win.

            Nah that’s not why it’s a niche sport. The SB champs don’t play each other every time out either.

            Again, there have been plenty of big fights and there will be more.

              The biggest problem with PBC is how inactive the fighters are. A true disservice to the boxer's brand, legacy, and slap in the face to boxing fans.

                yup it manifested itself in Jack Johnson which actually gave birth to the "great white hope" phenomena which plagues the minds of whites in the united snakes mostly, but other europeon nations do the same as well and even the soviet union gets into the narrative from time to time but way less than other europeon nations.
                now the next one has arrived and its usyk now after 15 professional fights dan rafael has stated that usyk after 15 fights is a greater CRUISERWEIGHT than evander holyfield who went to heavyweight at and became UNDISPUTED in the 3 belt era.
                how can an individual who was basically a "professional amateur" who came out of the olympics a GROWN ADULT MALE and ONLY fought 15 fights be considered the greatest of all time?
                this is what i have an issue with and thus the rivalry will NEVER subside. usyk i THOUGHT was like 24 years old when he beat bellew come to find out he was actually 31 and that took ALOT away from his luster. & to be honest who was bellew REALLY? he already got stopped in i believe 6 rounds by Adonis Stevenson at LHW then went up to cruiser got ONE belt from a TITLE holder and went to heavy. who in the hell is bellews best win for ppl to consider usyk THE BEST cruiserweight of ALL-TIME?
                the narratives they push into public conscious is what drives the animosity for these fighters, that most blacks actually have NO problem with until certain people get behind these fighters and make it unbearable to like the fighters.

                  ikr and then when the their "countdown to doomsday" deadline passed and PBC was still moving forward even through the lawsuits from tr & gb they slowly faded away but then adopted the same model of showcasing fights on premium network tv.
                  nobody said a word after the fact.
                  i love BOXING idc who diskributes the fights etc bc im NOT getting paid from none of it i just want to watch fights and be entertained by who the best is at each weight division

                    Sure there is multiple reasons boxing is niche, but being the only sport that doesn't listen to its fans is a pretty huge one.

                    And every year the best play each other to end the season. The got everything locked in for that to happen. Boxing just keeps half assing us for years at a time before giving us the big fight in the division. WBSS is the best thing to happen to boxing in decades in my book. I just hope they keep doing 3, or dare I wish more, divisions every year.
