Come to the PBC, you'll get good paydays.

MISSING



LAST SEEN PISSING BOB ARUM OFF

Poor Walters. We all knew it was a huge mistake when he priced himself out of a Loma and now look.

Forcing a purse bod os not "backing himself into a corner" it's actually smart. Almost guarantees a bigger purse than the $1.5 mil currently offered.

Not necessarily. If ESPN doesn’t think it’s a marketable match up they can back off on the purse bid especially if Teo is suggesting he’s going elsewhere. Teo deserves props for taking and winning good fights but he and his team need to manage economic expectations when there is no live gate

Not sure why people hate on Teofimo so much. As a boxer, nothing is guaranteed; if you have a chance to cash in, you should exhaust all your efforts to make sure to squeeze every penny out. Ya acting like promoters haven't made a fortune riding fighters coattail for centuries and when a fighter get permanently injured during a fight, promoters no where to he found.

Thiiiiiiiiiiiiis like a mofo.

It's crazy to me so many "fans" hate the people who make the sport & support the bean counting promoters who sit on their ass & marinate fights.

Lol. PBC is dying. Their best bet to revamp their brand during Covid is to make Jermell vs Castaño asap. Almost all elite fighters at PBC can’t be paid their usual which is why they’ve all been PPV. Price cuts are everywhere.

Eddie and DAZN will throw the money to Lopez. Lopez and Canelo are also boys. Consolidate the Hispanic branding!

Edward Hearn isn’t Hispanic. He’s a white English bloke from Essex....

LOL You wish that PBC was dying. They have the smartest business model out there. Remember it was PBC who first brought boxing back to regular TV. Guess who copied that model by going to ESPN....that's right TOP Rank. Top Rank is only with ESPN because HBO went by the wayside. You never hear PBC fighters complaining about money. LOL

You guys need to educate yourself about how the boxing game works. People get mad at PBC why because they fight the fights with the fighters under the PBC banner when TOP Rank does the EXACT same thing only worse. A PBC fighter just fought a Golden Boy fighter last night. Castano vs Texierra - PBC won of course. Stop knocking people because they're smart with the business side.

PLEASE NAME ME ONE PBC FIGHTER COMPLAINING ABOUT MONEY???? I CAN NAME SEVERAL FROM TOP RANK

DON'T HATE THE FIGHTERS HATE THE GAME.

Not sure how long you have been on boxingscene but a lot of posters on here hate pbc because pbc wouldn’t sell out to Eddie Hearn and dayzin. There is a real race driven hatred for al Haymon

Lopez would be a huge W for DAZN, but it's just as likely he and Canelo could end up at PBC.

Bidding is not only limited to you current promoter/network. I could see Hearn offer $6-8 mil bid to bring the fight to DAZN, in which case, teo would make triple whats being offered now.

this fool thinks hes Mayweather now. this is why boxing sucks ass and UFC thrives.

this loud mouth c.u.n.t thinks he's a PPV attraction now.

[Motorcity Cobra]

He clearly is a millennial; me myself and I deserve the best and we want it all now! lol

That's baby boomer mentality and he's generation X
