    He's gone absolutely silent. NO interviews. No media. Nothing.
    I just checked his twitter feed, his last tweet was a month ago.
    What is this guy doing? He's in his prime and he just laying back. His last fight was in April and he still has absolutely nothing scheduled. Whats going on with the Badou Jack unification?

    It is obvious now that Haymon has bitten off more than he can chew. Has so many fighters that he can't afford to put them in the ring more than 2 times per year. Just look at Garcia, Thurman, Porter, the Dirrels, the boys at 154. If PBC runs out of money these fighters better find promoters and soon.

    That's true, I haven't heard of anything from Degale since his last fight. What gives?

    I dont care who's your promoter , fighting 2 times a year certainly dont help BUILD hype, reputation and a fan base.
    These fighters that Al has arent stars, they are all in the "building" process so IMO somethings not right.

    I've said this a while ago. PBC only has enough money to pay these guys twice a year...maybe 3 times if you're a cheap prospect.

    A lot of the big names under PBC lose momentum quickly after a big fight because they don't fight again until 9 months later.

    Oh pls cut the crap out.
    Chunky is a road warrior, strong and skilled.
    Bute didnt ruin him, stop trolling bro

    And I'm probably Lucian biggest fan. I'm romanian/canadian from Montreal and I've been watching him live since his 4th pro fight.

    Last we all heard he's negotiating a Jack unification fight.

    Which is absolutely huge.

    The two best in the world facing each other.

    We should be happy.

    He wants a big UK fight but Hearn won't give him that as he signed with Haymon.

    according to most sources, he's fighting Jack in November, which will basically crown the #1 guy at SMW

    Not a fair accusation against PBC. What is TR doing with Bradley, Zurdo, Hart and Lomachencko? Lomachencko is purposely undercutting every fighter lined up against him.

    Where can Degale go if not with Haymon? K2, Golden Boy , who is losing fighters every month, Main Events can't get Kovalev a big fight without literally begging Jay Z.

    Haymon has boxing locked up.

    Nothing wrong with two fights a year. Gives other talent a chance to shine, plus it give people something to look forward to in the boxing world. As for Haymon and PBS, they seem to be doing just fine.

    Zurdo is injured , if not he would've fought already at least twice. He beat Abraham this year and will probably fight under Pac.
    Bradley is a star already. Period. He dont need to fight more than twice a year. He made a name for himself. 3x Pac 1xJMM , FOTY vs Provo
    Heart ..who ?? Jesse ? This guy is a nobody
    Loma...in his short pro career Bob did great for him....the next big star in the game...unfortunatly victim of HBO budgets cuts...he s the only one that needs 3 4 fights a year so the american casual scene can learn who this young master is


    Wtf is Quillin doin ? And why does Danny Jacobs has to fight Mora twice ?

    Fair or not , PBC was seen BY ME as the potential saviour of boxing in US. It had the exposure, the money, the roster , the super- platform, yet something didnt work.

    Makes you think if they didnt succed, can someone do it? Bring boxing back ? Where did it go wrong?

    Will we se that PBC belt soon? I wont mind, if the best fight the best in their roster.
