    Everyone of his fighters will continue to fight mismatches 98 percent of the time I predicted that 1 year ago.


    It's all about money not about the fans with Haymon and the only way to make a change is to boycott horrible fights

    I really don't get the hate PBC gets. It's matches aren't any worse than HBO's last year.

    The idea that anyone complains about boxing on network TV is mind boggling. They aren't always going to have the best matches, but I'd rather get more televised fights than less televised fights.

    Over the years, whether it was ESPN FNF, or USA Tuesday Night Fights, free boxing isn't always going to have super fights.

    But as you mentioned, the same can be said of HBO and Showtime, and worse yet, the same can be said of a lot (if not most) PPV attractions.

    Well, I'm curious to see how Haymon does in October against HBO because so far it looks like they'll continue to dominate with quality fights

    Ggg vs lemieux =HBO ppv
    Matthysse vs postal
    Klitschko vs fury

    I think they also got crushed in the ratings by the McGregor UFC card too.

    I agree this fall HBO is looking good. But in a lot of cases this stuff is luck in terms of boxers schedules and stuff. 2014 was a terrible year for boxing match-ups across all networks.

    So you like watching horrible mis-matches because, hey, it's FREE boxing. If this is indicative of the future of boxing, I'll stop watching. I'm glad HBO is still showing good match-ups, though. PBC can **** right off.

    Thurman-Guerrero Peterson-Garcia and Broner-Porter have been higher quality match ups than anything on HBO this year except Kovalev-Pascal.

    Broner is just a name and anybody with a brain knew His fight with Porter was a mismatch.
    Peterson vs Garcia was decent at best..
    Thurman vs Guerrero was widely considered a mismatch


    Provo vs Matthysse alone was better then all those fights put together imo

    Yes, I'd rather have these bouts televised than not.

    Nobody is forcing anyone to watch these cards at gun point, and I have no idea what the fate of PBC or free boxing is. Truth be told, I've probably watched less hours of PBC than the majority of American fans who post here. But I still like the idea that the option is available. Much the same as I used to enjoy watching Friday Night Fights and Tuesday Night Fights before it.

    Also, don't act as if HBO, Showtime, and PPV attractions from those networks don't often consist of mismatches.

    I mean that's what GGG-Lemieux is. And the greedy basta'ds at HBO have the audacity to charge $70 for that mismatch.
