How Petty was The PBC For This?

[HarvardBlue]

Who cares?

So they didn't mention Crawford. I don't see Crawford getting a fight with any of the other title holders any time soon so why bring him up?

You know Bud is a grown man and has personal responsibility for his decisions

Dude following in the footsteps of his bro Timmeh Bradley. reupping with top rank, which keeps him away from the top welter crop

Back in the day people signed with Don King if they wanted the big fights. Hell even manny finally realized he had to leave top rank to face solid welters

how does it keep him away? why won't pbc work with top rank? Pacquiao fought for years under top rank and faced many top welterweights before he left

They done the same sort of thing with Callum Smith a couple of weeks ago. Put up a poll for best champ at 168, options were Plant, Benavidez, Dirrell and other. "Other" one the poll emphatically, lol, 77%.

No i did not know that. Its so toe curlingly petty and cringeworthy that i actually feel a little embarrassed for them. Its just so god damn lame, really, whats wrong with these people?

Push your own brands as much as you can, who doesnt, but to name all the PBC fighters and calling Smith "OTHER". And last nights joke line up that refused to acknowledge one of the best Boxers on the planet. WOW. I cant believe how pathetic it really is.

Im so glad the other networks and Promotional companies dont act like that.

Another thing I was going to point out is this, is there an issue between PBC and the WBO? Is it to do with that? They had Andy Ruiz on but they only add the WBA and IBF belts to his name, they didn’t count his WBO belt. He has been asked that a number of times and he made excuses why he doesn’t have his WBO belt around etc. But the fact that the WBO was missed out of his name is telling me the PBC and WBO has some issues.

100 percent this espn covers other fights and fighters who are on rival networks.

they don't actually have to say his name on air just list him as one of the champions on the graphic which he is don't be ridiculous.

They don't want to waste their time or money on a graphic for a fighter that isn't on their roster or a part of any promotion they are doing. I don't know why it's so hard for people to understand that. The point is to highlight their own people, not another promoter's, no matter if he's a champion or not. It's really that simple

I myself think it's petty not to mention the other champion at 147, but I'm not gonna cry about it like people are doing in this thread cause I can understand why they would exclude him

it's al gaymon not being able to control the wbo and he's pissed and shunning the wbo belt! here's a theory al gaymon tried to bribe the wbo and they told him to *** off. remember the pbc shill who used to post here with user name wbc wba ibf? Who lied about working for them he used to always trash the wbo.

why would they promote another promoters fighter?

Its not promoting him is it. We all know who Bud is and his standing in the division. If anything its the lack of his name and face on the list that has got these threads popping up today. So if their aim was to get people to NOT think about Crawford they have fu**ked it right up cuz we wouldnt be all about him today.

If they are going to put up a list of the champs at 147 then put up a list of the champs at 147. We been complaining about how they have been looking at freezing Crawford out and this is just another nail in that coffin. Its so obvious what they are playing at.

Personally i think Al Haymon is well aware that Terrence Crawford is the best fighter in the division and would beat any of his PBC Welters so this isnt even about crossing streets this is about avoiding Bud. Simple as that.

[deathofaclown]

Why promote another promoter's fighter who in all likelihood will not fight on your network?

Because they were showing the current champions.

Adam Smith who is head of boxing at Sky and a commentator has no problem saying he thinks Fury is the no.1 Heavyweight right now and said his last outing was very entertaining during the Whyte fight last night, despite Fury being on a rival network.

No point in insulting the fans intelligence with petty things like this.

PBC also fail to acknowledge how previous fights went to try and big up a future fight. Not once did they mention last night that most people thought Ugas beat Porter. The way Goosen was talking, you would think Porter schooled Ugas. Probably because Porter has a PPV coming up.

Cant believe there are people trying to defend this and to say they dont want to waste money on a graphic is really scraping that barrel.
