    TR in line to undisputed in 4 divisions while PBC sit on their laurels with excuses

    “That’s delahoya guy, I don’t care about no belts” -Charlo
    “70/30 or whatever we give, I don’t need him, he needs me” -Spencer

    Meanwhile, if not for covid and Beterbiev’s complete inability to take care of himself, 140lb’s would be unified just like 135lb’s was and 175lb’s would be well on it’s way, with Joshua-Fury coming up.

    To be fair. It hasn’t happened yet, but the prospect seems likely, unlike PBC vs non-PBC.

    But Loma let the "Franchise designation" destroy a true undisputed fight. Beterbiev is doomed to fight nobodies. 2021 needs to end before I truly believe Crawford vs Spence doesn't happen.

      I follow boxers I like and don't follow promoters much. Jermall has been a better champion than Andrade and fights better fighters. Spence has been a much better champion than Crawford and fights much better fighters. Spence is not holding up a fight between himself and Crawford anymore than Crawford is. Spence demands a 60/40 money split in his favor and Crawford demands a 60/40 money split in his favor. Meanwhile while they don't fight each other Spence defends his title against much better fights than Crawford does.

        Loma vs Lopez would have happened anyway before Loma vs Haney would have materialized. Even if there wasn’t a ‘franchise’ champ, Loma would have still been the WBC champ. Haney doesn’t share recognition with it.

          Extremely disappointed in the quality of fights the PBC has been putting together lately, and by lately I means since 2016. The only fighters who've been in meaningful fights were Jermell Charlo, Spence, even though he still has to fight Crawford and Deontay Wilder when he fought Fury, other than that there's very little effort being made to make good meaningful fights and unification fights either in house or as joint promotions.

          It's very disappointing since I first thought that the PBC concept of 1 big umbrella for boxing and free TV fights would be great for the sport but boy was I wrong!
