    How many PBC fighters are better known or have more star power than Hurd?

    Can Hurd become the face of the PBC?

    Most of them.

    Deontay Wilder
    Errol Spence Jr.
    Keith Thurman
    Shawn Porter
    Danny Garcia
    Mikey Garcia
    Gervonta Davis
    Jermell Charlo
    Jermall Charlo

    ....and yes, even Adrien Broner

    Are all far more well known than him.

    He should be ranked higher than 97% of those bums ass cowards at PBC that CST80 listed. At the very top of the food chain in my opinion is Garcia and Hurd only because they are not old fighters who made their entire career before Haymon like Lara or Manny and others and they are willing to fight anyone they can and take some risk.
    I would throw in the Polish Prince Fonfara but he retired recently.

    I don´t rate Hurd very high. His greatest asset is probably the ability to cut down a massive amount of weight.
    Remembers me a lil bit of Chavez Jr.
    But I like his style, a tough, durable plodder.

    Hurd’s style is entertaining and makes for good fights , he should be much bigger.

    Yeah and when you factor how little amateur experience he had and what he has achieved in such a short space of time as a pro.

    40 amateur fights world title holder by his 19th pro fight unified in his 22 second fight.

    Compare that to the excuse’s we hear from yardes team.

    And look how well known Yarde is. Yarde has 39k followers on twitter for fighting binmen and a unified champ like Hurd has only 8. Badly promoted ?

    Yeah he’s defo badly promoted that’s problem with these pbc fighters they don’t get there face out there anuff they just pop up week or two before there fights.

    Wilder seems to be only one who pushes to now keep his face in the public eye.

    Agreed , wilder is a good self promoter. Sometimes you just need to go and get it.

    is obviously PBC's biggest attraction and star. Need proof? Pacquiao-Broner managed to get 450,000 broke ass people to buy a January PPV even though they ain't recovered from Black Friday and Christmas shopping. And let's not forget the monies spent for holiday travel.

    How dare you!?!?!
    Adrien Broner is the second biggest draw on SHO :lol:. Only Wilder has outdone him on regular SHO.
