If the PBC plan doesn't work ... they will simply go back to the old model where the networks will HAVE TO PAY Haymon to put on shows. And boxing will disappear from NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox and Spike. ESPN was only airing boxing six months out of the year ... and only had a budget of between $20,000 to $50,000 a show ... so we'll go back to just seeing club fights on there. Fighters like Glazkov, who made about $800,000 for his last fight, will go back to making $30,000 twice a year on NBCSports fight the only other two heavyweights Kathy Duva might have in her stable. The number of fights we see will depend on the HBO and Showtime boxing budgets. Since they don't have huge budgets, many of the fights we've been seeing will be on PPVs. And the number of boxing shows will dwindle down to about 30 percent of what we're getting now. So, I hope Haymon's plan works. Because boxing was dying in the U.S. just being on HBO, Showtime and half the year on ESPN. And nine months of Haymon's plan isn't enough to bring it back from the depths it fell to over the past decade.
If PBC fails and its failure is inevitable, their fighters will be in limbo for a while. They'll still be under contract and they'll have a hard time finding a time slot anywhere. They'll also have to take a HUGE paycut as well. HBO and Showtime won't overpaid like they did in the past. And ESPN will pay a standard low rate. On the bright side, we may start seeing better match-ups again.
Chavez should of never flashed that check. The fighters are supposed to pay their managers. The money is going in the wrong direction.
I know, it was only on twitter for 10 minutes but it was still caught. and now top ranks lawyers have access to examine all of haymon and pbcs financial records and documents to build their case. Im sure they will be tons of examples of stuff like this
that will be overkill, I think anyone could put this case forward, however judges discretion could have a big impact
