    Meh, I think of it as a stepping stone for the casuals, "derp" crowd to at least get into boxing and then move on to better fights.

    They mostly need to get better at building up their fighters. Only guy they have tried to build up is Thurman and he's lost some steam lately only drawing a million viewers in his last fight(low for free T.V.)

    Pbc is like getting big macs for free when i'd rather pay for steaks. Hey its free, can't complain right? No because if i eat the big Mac meal, I'm to full to eat the steak. Meaning that pbc using boxers for **** matches when they could be fighting someone else.

    Or is pbc like mcdonalds buying prime ribeyes from a butcher and grounding the meat for big macs and giving them for free so that some group of people can hire Mcdonald as the caterer.

    Um.. not sure if you guys know. But you have the option to not watch pbc. You can change the channel either on your tv, remote or even just turn it off.

    I dont see the point in complaining about something you don't have to pay for, and something you have the option to watch or not.

    Of course they have the right to complain , if all the top football teams in the world spent the whole year playing friendlys against useless teams that meant nothing there would be war even if it was in free TV as we woul be missing out on actually good matches

    It's stopping actual good match ups from happening

    it's not sustainable.

    just compare the purses to that of the ufc purses.

    also take note of the sponshorship money pac-froid had, ~ 5m$.

    gaymon is lucky to get 50k on any pbc event.


    pbc is a scam.

    that investment firm that back gaymon up, lost some 20ish billions. looks like the execs are desperate to turn it around or cashing out their retirement funds.

    mallignant just got paid 500k, really. and cherry garcnia, million+, really? for that garbage?
