    PBC is is crushing the competition, it's getting embarrassing

    Listen, PBC is by 6 miles the #1 PPV firm on the planet, they generate more money than anyone else.

    Think about it.

    Wilder/Fury/ Manny/Broner, Spence/Garcia, Manny/Thurman, while not really stacking up against the Mayweather era, these fights generated revenue relative to expenses, in some cases a lot of it, now PBC owns boxing PPV, Matchroom can put on all the crappy $25 PPV's they want, they are not making the money PBC has in just 4 shows.

    Now they are slaying regular TV with BS cards that many boxing people have low expectations of.

    Not only is the PBC the king of American boxing, they are the kings period, they have generated more money MANY times over than any other promotional firm in the world since their inception, and they are just getting their feet wet.

    Everyone called it a failed experiment, "Haymon wasted so much money", "PBC will never work" etc.

    Well, at this rate, PBC is going to be the UFC of boxing, it's going to swallow everything, DAZN's business model is f^cked up, they have to cap the amount of money fighters make per fight while also relying on a Netflix model that will never work in combat sports.

    Top Rank does not have the horses, the stable is weak as f%%%, as is Golden Boys, Matchroom's financial backing will not last long, DAZN will have to get out of boxing, the amount of the money they have spent, and the return is not sustainable, plus, they don't have boxing people making the decisions, people that have worked in, and know the sport.

    This Canelo situation never takes place at Showtime, or Fox, we can agree on that.

    PBC reigns supreme, to the point, that they can put on a D class undercard, and a C- main event, and rock out to the tune of 2 million people, that's insane, and terrifying for the competition that lacks the talent, the star power, and the depth to compete with PBC long term.

    Haymon has won, if you haven't noticed already, and at the pace he is signing fighters, with all the stars he has carefully cultivated, nobody will be able to touch him for at least 10 years, maybe longer.

    I would imagine that when the fox and showtime contracts are up, Haymon will sell some of his equity for anywhere between $500 million to a billie, reinvest in the company, and make it 10 times the size it is now.

    All hail the kings.

    Nobody needs or at least no boxing fan should encourage PPVs.

    PBC was supposed to be about free network boxing or reasonably priced boxing events.

    All their PPVs have been crap so far and not worth the money at all.

      Exactly this. That was their angle when hbo was still in the game, and all we heard was “pbc is the only free boxing” etc. Now suddenly it’s time to celebrate ppv again.

          Pacquiao vs Thurman definitely not crap. Hell of a scarp.

            PBC has destroyed everyone.

            Check the commercial values.

            PBC is getting 10x Dazn and 2.5x TR on ESPN.

            PBC is that far ahead.

                Did PBC ever say they were getting rid of PPV (like DAZN has) or did the media make that up when they saw PBC putting shows on network TV?

                I'm trying to recall any marketing by PBC proclaiming the end of PPV. I can't recall any

                  PBC is by far #1

                  Top Rank's best fighters are begging to fight the PBC boys for a reason.

                    No, but they claimed they would be more reasonably priced. Instead we get the usual high price on shows that probably shouldn’t have been ppv to begin with. What happened to top level matchups on network tv...that never really panned out for the fans. Feels like a bit of bait and switch to me.
