If you're waiting for PBC to close its doors....

[bchap05]

A lot of their cards have 1 or maybe 2 tv fights. They could get fighters more active if they would stack the cards a bit which would increase ratings as well

[Sweet Jones]

While I agree their marquee fighters need to be fighting more then once a year if you look at TR or GB most of their fighters aren't doing much more as of right now

GB
Canelo 2
Rosado 2
Ortiz 1 ( No longer signed )
Matthysse 0
Lemiuex 1 ( I think )
Ali 2

TR

Crawford 2
Ramirez 1
Bradley 1
Vargas 1 + 1 in NOv
Manny1+1 in NOv
Valdez 2-3
Loma 1 + 1 in Dec
Walters 0 + 1 in Dec
Rios 0
Postol 1

What's the difference between PBC, TR & GB

As for the guys with 0 fights most have a reason
Alexander - opiate addiction
Chavez - Injuries
Tarver - PEDs and old as dust
Omar - seems Mentally unfit
Mares - Didn't get NY clearance
Lamont ????

Exactly.

It's dayum near weird the need people have to peg industry wide problems. (ratings down, fighters not fighters enough, fights not being made, etc.) as unique to PBC.

'Overspending' doesn't necessarily automatically translate to mean fight purses. Could be a lot of things (number of cards, costs of time-buys, production costs, etc.).

Well, yeah, I'm sure they have tons of other expenses that were more than expected but millions were spent on fights nobody wanted or cared to watch. All their great fights did great numbers which should tell them something about putting on so many other lackluster cards that cost lots of $ to produce

So, they got some new investors whose money Haymon will throw away... again.

I'll be here waiting. They got money for "3 years" yet no one is fighting.

You're right.

And what it tells me (and probably Haymon too) is that, with the ability to continue to put on good fights (all the matchups and tourneys fans on here say should have already been made with PBC's stable), PBC might just have a sellable product that warrants a TV deal.

But some network(s) will have to PAY for those good fights and all the ratings/eyeballs it can bring.

No more free mixtapes, bruh. You want more hot tracks, buy the album (as in the pre-Napster days).

Peterson turned down the Spence fight.

Great point. I was gonna say the same thing. it cost a ****load of money moving the ramps and above head jumbotron from location to location and set up and tear down that's why you don't see it at every event anymore

[R_Walken]

Most boxing fans are full blown ******s and for some reason most on this site want PBC to fail. Because having more access to the sport is a bad thing. ( can you imagine any other niche sport fan using this logic)

The sad thing is they try to play it off like They had high expectations and wanted it to work but it disapointed. The reality is you didn't and have been negative since the start ever since Thurman / Guerrero was announced most have done nothing but b.itch and moan

[R_Walken]

Peterson turned down the Spence fight.

I don't blame him, especially if he's in the running for a Cotto fight

[Pigeons]

If u r waiting 4 PBC to close its doors, don't hold ur breath. Have $$$ for three more years, but learning from overspending

— Keith Idec (@Idecboxing)

Money for 3 more years if they take 6 months off every year maybe.
