    PBC/Fox/Showtime boxing is falling apart

    Their heavyweight champion, Deontay Wilder, was embarrassed and knocked out.

    Their light heavyweight champion, Adonis Stevenson, is out of boxing. The two guys they had who were next in line lost to Jean Pascal.

    Their super middleweight champions aren’t fighting each other, Canelo, Callum Smith or Billy Joe Saunders.

    Their middleweight champion won’t fight any of the other relevant middleweights.

    All their super welterweights stars have lost now.

    Errol Spence screwed up his career with a DUI and a massive car accident. Their other welterweight champion, Manny Pacquiao, isn’t fighting anyone and is rumored to be leaving for DAZN or retiring.

    Mikey Garcia went to DAZN.

    Adrien Broner tried to hit on a 16 year old and just got arrested for trespassing.

    Gervonta Davis publicly assaulted a woman and was arrested.

    Gary Russell Jr. isn’t in position to have a meaningful fight.

    Guillermo Rigondeaux is almost 40 and seems like one of their last hopes.

    Maybe if Leo Santa Cruz beats Davis everything will be okay? But then again, does anyone think he would beat Lomachenko or anyone else at 135 assuming he gets the chance or takes it?

    A year okay it seemed like they had everything going for them and just like that, it seems like they’re in a really bad spot.

    Wilder losing hurt. Spence DUI and crash hurt. Now lets look at the whole story.

    Last year PBC did over $125 million on PPV boxing matches, was just part of a fight that set the live gate record for HWT title fights, got a new deal with Fox the previous year, they have a deal with SHO, has one of the biggest draws in the sport in Tank Davis, and one of their unknown SMW champs just had a fight that drew over 1.8 million TV viewers.

    I don't think things are as bad as you make them out to be in this post.

        If I was prospect today I would be signing with Anyone but PBC these fools bought into Haymon would one day get them a 300 million pay day like Floyd. Don’t think so specially when the public knows they’re bum slayers

          Top Rank has a better stable and won on Saturday. LDBC I’m sure are hating it.

            PBC fox is desperate to work with ESPN and top rank. it's their last chance to stay relevant.41 year old legendary pacquiao is their only cash cow and he is probably going to have 1,maybe 2 fights before finally retiring.

            PBC fox has no choice but to join forces with espn. i liked the whole dynamic they had for the wilder fury fight. the commentary was good. production was all good.

            dazn has trash production and even worse commentary.

              The opinion of a few inbreds on NSB is not in any way the same feeling everyone has. If you were a prospect, it probably would be smart to go where you have the chance to get the most exposure and to a company that knows how to market and promote you the best.

              PBC has made their fighters money. Are there other choices, yes. You have to go where you feel is the best fit for you as a fighter.

                Adonis Stevenson is 42 years old. There’s no way PBC excepted him to still be active

                  As a prospect first turning pro, I’d likely sign on to DAZN just because they (the matchroom USA prospects) seem to stay very active. But once I was a ranked guy that would change.

                    I think if I'm Mexican I go with GBP and if I am from a foreign country i'd go with TR. They both have proven track records promoting these types of fighters.
