I’m all for less PPV, but if PBC is relying on Thurman (fights once every 3 years and is 36), Spence (will be innactive for 2 years this July) Jermell Charlo ( if he’s not back until summer, nearly 2 years) they’ve got some major problems..really looking forward to Benavidez/Morell though.
I took a look at the PBC roster on their website. It's a mess. Wildly outdated with long retired boxers (Devon Alexander, Abner Mares, Mikey Garcia), non-PBC fighters (Crawford), or simply over the hill names (Jarred Hurd, Tony Harrison, Rigondeaux).
I'm a fan of all boxing, not just promotional outfits. But it's sad that not only is PBC struggling with dates and keeping their fighters active, but the top end of their roster is thin while the middle is middling at best.
I hoped that when Showing Boxing shut down they'd hit the ground running on Amazon but it appears Al Haymon's reported health hiatus and Amazon's non-PPV apathy is really hurting PBC. Let's hope '25 is better than '24.
While I love how detailed this article is, the fights discussed don’t move the needle on PBCs status. They’ve done almost nothing of interest once they lost their sweetheart deals. Haymons magic of leveraging mayweather to get talent and dates has completely evaporated and he missed the boat on the Saudis for now (because he has almost nothing to offer now that Wilder has played out the string) Haymon was never good for boxing and now that he’s on the outside we fans are getting incredible cards and fighters actually fighting each other. Good riddance. If they haven’t demised yet, please PBC… demise.
Tszyu vs Spencer will end Joey’s run, Tim vs Keef just has no spark 🤷♂️ imo. Errol’s issue is mental at this point so I’m not getting my hopes up he ever fights again.
