I work directly with these media companies, they literally don't give a shyt about y'alls existence and PBC ruined boxing theories lmfao.

That is great fam. I am happy for you.

But you can't replace 7 or 8 years of mediocre to poor matchmaking because they've had one good year.

And I never said they ruined boxing. I just don't like that most of their top talent sits on the shelf waiting for the next million dollar check.

Boxing will survive and evolve as it always has for the last hundred plus years but a couple things are going to have to change.

- dudes are gonna have to stay active.
- they may have to fight overseas again like Japan or the Middle East or Europe without Showtime or HBO backing.
- no more A-side talk from dudes who don't sell.
- that 'side of the street ' bullshyt is gonna need to stop cause those streaming services aint gonna pay you top dollar for mismatches.

Oh. And they will be working with the Bobfather or his son. He's a shady fukk but him sticking to one home is looking like a genius move.

Bruh... I am legit crossing my fingers that it's Prime.


I could be wrong, but doesn't Prime attract similar audiences to Netflix for people that rather binge watch TV instead of watching it live?

Not sure it's a great mix for live sports. Are they doing well with NFL viewership?

The man that beat Errol Spence said it. Since he beat him convincingly, I believe him. :heh:
Ok but he didn't make fights with anybody anywhere except like c listers for years. Thurman and Boots begged Crawford for fights before Spence this year....he still fought once a year...Amir Khan, that no name last year..lol.

Wilder basically resurrected Fury's career by not hiding and running like Joshua has.

You've missed the point too but you're stupid so I'm not surprised.

How did blocking out Crawford workout in the end?

And Horn, Mean Machine, Benavidez difference in talent with Porter, Garcia and Thurman ain't nearly as wide as PBC fans think it is.

The easiest one was his last one :mjlol:

It's so fukkin sad because if a fighter from Matchroom, Golden Boy, or Top Rank calls out a fighter from PBC, they're looked at as thirsty and undeserving of the fight.

Like... who made PBC the end all be all? :heh:

Crawford been pro for 13 years and top 3 pound for pound for the last three years at the very least but PBC fans wanted him "prove" himself against Ennis, who just cracked the top 3 in the DIVISION this year.

Where's the fukkin logic?

Exactly like these dudes wasn't in amateurs and shyt together and just signed with someone else based on their personal situation. The salt is still real from that BEATING in July.

That's like saying in the 90s you couldn't rap if you wasn't on Def Jam.

Boots is nice but come on now....
