    Those PBC guys are the dumbest contract negotiators walking the earth ever. I've never seen so many men turn down millions of dollars to fight for nearly nothing just to please 1 man since Don King was raking his fighters over the coal. The difference being that PBC fight **** themselves instead. Peter Quillin turned down 8 figures with Roc Nation just to be a bum, Adrien Broner probably regrets it everyday that he turned down 8 figures just to be a bum. Wilder was ducking AJ so tough he could have cashed out years ago and bought all of Alabama before Brett Farve robbed the welfare program. The only fighter that went for the getting while it was good was Spence when he fought Crawford.
    Where is Danny "Cherry" Garcia now?
    Where is "Run Time" Queef Thurman now?
    Adonis Stevenson ducking Kovalev just to end up in a wheelchair anyway. Not trying to be mean but the ring rust and weight cutting got to him, not boxing.

    Quillin got million dollar paydays and got paid to sit out for a year at one point. He's well off as far as I know.

    Broner got eight figures to fight Pacquaio (at least after endorsements) while being a fringe contender.

    Thurman got huge money to fight Pacquiao and skipped the line to fight Tszyu earlier this year but got injured in training.

    Garcia just got a title shot.

    Stevenson isn't in a wheelchair. He recovered almost fully and that has nothing to do with PBC.

    The fighters have been well paid overall and respectful of Haymon. Your feelings are telling a different story though.

    But considering how easily he beat Broner, that just puts into perspective how much of a hypejob and letdown Broner was.
