    A lot of ups and downs. But the inactivity has been unbearable!

    Yet things are finally looking up this year. Some solid cards have been made.

    It has become a bit better, but only after partly abandoning their "free boxing on tv" trope.
    Most people already predited that the business model wasn't sustainable, as massively overpaying boxers and then putting it on free tv watched by a couple of million at most, would never get enough return.
    Let's see how it's going to work with occasional PPV in place.

    A couple gripes are the inactivity, and the way the PBC fighters are allowed to duck quality opponents, even when in house.

    I feel like that happened mostly early on not as much now but a valid criticism

    LSC, Frampton, Danny Garcia etc, all ducked top opposition while facing lesser foes. Berto had to be made to fight Porter. Garcia had to be made to fight Porter. LSC and Frampton were allowed to shamleessly duck Rigondeaux and Russell Jr.

    Personally Berto and Danny both hit a ceiling and they both are as good as they'll ever be Leo fought someone not that good but Frampton just fought a tough fight

    Free fights so they said. Most of their upcoming schedule is Ppv! Horrible matchmaking and announcers that are cringe worthy.

    I honestly though he had good intentions but the PBC seem closer to WWE than to anything else!
