    PBC belts are in production


    QUEBEC | Over the last few months, the businessman Al Haymon has started a revolution in boxing through agreements with several American television networks. However, it does not stop there.

    The next stage of its five-year plan is the implementation of a belt in all categories and these would be played only on First Boxing Champions cards (PBC).

    A model that would have some similarities to that which exists in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), which has full control over its fighters and clashes.

    In recent days, members of the entourage of Haymon, which are present in Quebec were very discreet about it. However, according to what Le Journal de Montreal has learned, the project is well under way.

    The PBC belts are in production in a company in England. They would be ready in a few weeks, according to several participants, but it is not yet known when they will make their official appearance in the world of boxing.

    Turn into the unknown
    Until this new crown is launched, the WBC, WBA, WBO and IBF continue to work with First Boxing Champions (PBC), but for how long?

    "We're on the fence on this issue. We must wait to see how things will go, said an advocate who works for one o

    "However, it will do something before that first fight for a title PBC announced. That could cause problems. "

    I mean if they get the best fighters and funnel the talent to one belt it might be good and rid us of 4 titles

    Problem may be the 4 orgs still exist and fighters decide not to do pbc

    So hbo and sho have the 4 orgs and claim title fights while pbc has their belt

    Maybe this will just create title reform and lead to one belt per weight

    This wouldn't be a problem, if not for the fact that Haymon will most likely keep these belts exclusive to Haymon fighters.

    This is stupid. We don't need more belts, it's already watered down enough. PBC is cool and all but Haymon is ****ing up if he's going to keep it all in-house with their own belts too.

    His own ****ing league.
    I wonder if he will cut down on weight classes. Imagine boxing with only 8 or 10 weight classes. :happy

    This was the end game from Haymon from the start. Why else would he sign 200 fighters? Interesting to know he has a 5 year plan but wondering if he rins out of money before that? These time buys are not cheap.
