    (RUMOR) William Morris Endeavor (WME) To Buy PBC

    Hearing Steve Kim (so take that for what its worth, but he's been on a couple things early before too so he's not exactly Fat Dan) & a few others saying WME/Ari Emanuel could be trying to make a deal with PBC.

    If you recall WME made an offer to Top Rank (for their library iirc) which Bob has discussed publicly & The UFC via Fight Pass is making moves in boxing currently & has discussed Zuffa Boxing becoming a thing in the future although thus far nothing has happened with that.

    Likelihood this is legit?

    Thoughts on it if you think it could be legit?

    Good, bad or indifferent for boxing if it were to happen?

    There were some rumors of this last year. I could see it happening.

    As for what it will do for boxing? Probably nothing lol.

          Interesting... They're all about investment so they must see something in PBC to be messing with this.

            So no one but Steve Kim is saying that? I wouldn’t be surprised if his source was Bob Arum

                Warrell and reed lost tons investing in boxing

                Now new investors coming in

                People never learn

                Boxing is what is is

                You have a handful of stars. Only these stars make money. People dont have time to follow more than these handful of fighters.

                Dont know what warped reality people are living in to think they can raise the popularity of fighters across the board.

                Things can be done to improve the quality of the production and running of the sport. If someone is reading this from pbc,i can give you free advice because no offense,the people in power have no clue

                    I think to me, it will be no different to what it is now...Dana has already said he’ll never do business with arum or Oscar, so unless the plan on throwing huge money around and sign every fighter, we still ain’t getting the fights we want
