Comments Thread For: Top Rank, PBC plotting several cards to keep big fights in U.S.

[wrecksracer]

It's good news, even though this option was always available. There are some good fights to be made. Would I pay $80 to see Norman vs Barrios? Frankly, no. That's the problem with boxing these days. It's not like I don't have the $80. There are several better ways to enjoy $80 than spending it on a flimsy Norman vs Barrios card. Good luck trying to save American boxing at the last second at $80 a card. Every fight isn't Mayweather vs Pac. They leaned on their fans until nobody cares anymore.

You have to ask why PBC hasn't already made Barrios vs Norman and Lara vs Adames. Maybe Barrios and Lara don't fancy it?

And that's why I don't have Amazon Prime. PBC has weak match ups. Only good matchup in house was Benavidez vs Morrell. They need to work with other promoters.

Any fight involving two different promoters can be broadcasted by both networks. Example Tank vs Shakur Amazon and DAZN.
Fundora vs Ortiz Amazon and DAZN.

Promoters need to step it up, otherwise they will get beat by TKO once they start matching up best vs best.

Trudat! Trudat!

Lmfa...I could care less about any promoter. You like to claim bulls.hit but you suck haymans cawk from behind. You're a halfa*** on this site defending the bs. 10th generation Californio by the way. My blood been here longer than your peoples, whoever they are. Keep cheerleading like the lil puto you are, b!tchboy. promoter fanboys are lil b!tches

Actually the FBAs have been in the land before it was called the USA for 16+ generations now, and since they combine dna from western, Southern Africa with Native American and European dna, many of them can claim to having origins in the Americana long before they became a distinct ethnic group

This is excellent news by the way. Hopefully this means Top Rank will be going to Amazon. Hopefully after that, Golden Boy follows. But to have PBC and TR on the same platform and doing business freely would be the biggest gift for American boxing is recent history. Hopefully Amazon invests in this future venture and we see boxing stars created for the American sports fan. This is literally the best possible outcome for the USA and the possible growing of the sport again in this country. Well done to Haymon, Arum, and all the promoters that are on board with this venture

Nice story. I've read those conspiracy theories as well.
The human genome project proved your conspiracy false.
Keep that tin hat on.

Which part was false? Let’s talk about it.

Seriously for the life of me I can't understand why any boxing fan in America is mad at the prospect of Pbc and Tr being on the same network. Hey Mr SteveM can you tell me if people were mad when hearing that MR and Qbury were on the same network or we they....ahem... 'Through the moon" (Hearn's voice)

You like to deflect and conflate issues by asking questions that reveal the massive chip on your shoulder.
Lets get it straight. You are black. PBC is run by a successful black businessman and has had a roster of the best of American black fighters, I get why some black people, but not all, feel hard done by. But it's tiresome reading your moaning on every single article about PBC or Turki.
Nobody is mad about TR and PBC working together. That's your spin. But they have every right to wonder why it didn't happen much before now and to wonder if any fights will come of it and to wonder if those fights do happen whether 'AMERICAN BOXING' will be saved. Because lets face it - it wasn't as if 'American Boxing was in such a great place before Turki pitched up. HBO and Showtime had already left.
Here's a list of fighters who I think are with PBC and they're not active enough and when they are active they often not in close fights
Fundora eg Booker
Lubin
Thurman
Plant
Jermall
Tank
Gary Russell - yeah just fought but after how long?
Luis Ortiz - just keep the guy active - not getting any younger
Lara - ditto
Adames - had a fight but look how long he was inactive
Barrios - very inactive
Castano - ???? Is he retired. He's not being promoted properly - get him interviewed - find out whats up with him - very talented
Crowley - ???
Kyrone Davis - travesty that he beat Elijah Garcia and then kept inactive in his prime - why wasn't he given Adames or Lara?
Rashidi Ellis
Frank Martin - no word??
Andy Ruiz - same deal - retired?
Frank Sanchez - lost once - get him active again - not getting any younger
Spence - retired?
Ugas - retired?

think with Al Haymon is he doesn't like publicity. Fine. But PBC is a promoter so get somebody promoting. Do interviews, give updates. Get us exciting. None of that.
