It's clear to me that Haymon wants to create a business model based on the UFC. Sure, it may seem like the last thing boxing needs is more belts, but the more fighters Haymon signs, the more people will realise that to fight the best fighters, you will have to sign with Haymon. This will render most of the alphabet titles worthless (in the US at least) because all the top guys will be in Haymon's "UBC". Sanctioning fees will decrease so everyone else gets a bigger slice of the purse alas, everyone is happy

How well do you think they will fit in with the current belts as far as prestige goes when it comes to title belts?
I think it'll work flawlessly due to the sheer amount of fighters that fight under the PBC banner. Everyone is gonna want a crack at those belts imo.

It's a terrible idea. Less than half the boxing world would be competing for the belts and half the divisions aren't even featured on PBC. What kind of system is that? Best case scenario (for the belts) is that everyone gets on board and starts signing with Haymon to get a chance at the belt, then we have a monopoly in boxing and no one benefits from that.
I put in this in an earlier post when (shockingly) same the poster was talking about how great this would be in another thread.
This would be the champion landscape right now:
HW- Deontay Wilder
CW- Division doesn't exist in PBC
LHW- Adonis Stevenson
SMW- Badou Jack
MW-Peter Quillin
JMW- Erislandy Lara
WW-Floyd Mayweather (more likely Keith Thurman bc Floyd isn't actually on PBC)
JWW- Adrien Broner
LW-Mickey Bey
JLW- Division doesn't exist in PBC
FW- Gary Russell
JFW- Leo Santa Cruz
BW- Tomoki Kameda
JBW- Division doesn't exist in PBC
FW-Division doesn't exist in PBC
SW-Division doesn't exist in PBC

The recognized PBC champion doesn't have to sign with Haymon.
