Can we as boxing fans do anything about this PBC/Haymon Farce?

Is there any lawmakers/representatives/law enforcement we should contact? It's really becoming apparent that the PBC is corrupt and someone really needs to look into it.

I know other promoters already know this, as they have filed suits that say Haymon is violated the Muhammad Ali Act.

But is there anything WE can do?

YES. There is something we can do!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I have written to several US lawmakers to see if they can put together a committee to investigate this situation. I will let you know when/if I hear back. If you truly care about boxing you should do something as well.

 

corruption has always been part of the sport. Nothing to do.

 

YDKSAB! ... Bradley v Pac I, Herrera v Garcia, Lara v Williams, Vera v Chavez ... this has been going on in boxing for years

 

Do what I do and don't watch most of Haymon's sham shows.

 

Best I can think is that at least the "shows" are free. Much better than paying for the same stuff. As long as we continue to watch, it will continually be reruns. Be glad the reruns are free.

 

exactly. hows haymons PBC any worse than what ODLH or Top Rank put out?

 

Here's what you can do, Stick your head in the toilet and flush it about ten times. That should get rid of that cerebral fecalousis :yep

 

I like PBC. But, it's a WIP. I don't like the entrances of the fighters. But, I guess they are going for a TV friendly format. I do like they are trying new things with the head cams and the power sensor in the fighters' gloves. I like that they are on a lot of different channels...very accessible. It's a big stage for the fighters. They are enthusiastic about fighting on national TV. And there have been some decent matchups on there. Some fights I didn't expect much from actually surprised me. And it's FREE...most of all.

The lawsuits by Top Rank and GBP are just sour gr@pes. Haymon outmanuevered these guys, while they were busy bickering with each other.

 

I highly doubt it

 

This is an awful / extremely biased thread.

 

Right answer. And for it is worth, I don't see anything that makes Haymon any worse than his predecessors like Bob Arum, Mike Jacobs, Tex Ricard and the like. And as far as I can see he's nowhere near as corrupt as the KING of corruption, Don King.

 

Rare is the day when both the fans and the fighters are extremely happy .....so...at least the fighters are.....haven't heard one say a bad thing about al haymon

 

Yes, Dont watch.

From now on try avoiding every PBC broadcast.

 

Bunch of ingrates !! So we're against boxing that's not on PPV now ?

What Planet am I on atsch

 

Yes it is. But, fights from outside the US are largely inaccessible to people in the US. So, it is what it is...nothing new there. Not surprised about the fight getting bumped in some places. It takes time to establish or, in the case of boxing, reestablish a place on prime time TV. So, it's going to be slow to catch on at first. But, it costs nothing to come along for the ride. So, I am on board.
