It was but he still fought real names until this year and even then...Spence had to push for it. All those Sambos and midgets can dap that garbage all you want but Crawford fought no one until Spence.The easiest one was his last one

This sucks. I honestly hope it’s somehow HBOMax/Max that picks up boxing since MAX is doing live sports now. I don’t think Prime would do boing well at all.
The underlying point is these dudes have to fight more to really build a dedicated fan base, and the barrier to watching them fight can’t be so high.

Who did Porter beat that mattered? Always came up short..just never laid down. And he was clearly short changing it in that fight..father even turned on him.Porter was a C lister now??

The biggest problem with PBC is the fighters inactivity levels and their unrealistic asking prices.
Like how are Wilder and Ruiz still not fighting? Where is Thurman? Davis vs Cruz 2?

Crawford fought fluffs since 2018. Canelo did too. No big deal. Just how it was.

It's a preposterous inquiry. Crawford simply didn't fight the best despite the chances given.
HBO & Showtime getting out of boxing is something I would never have imagined
The changing media landscape and boxing popularity as whole not being what it once was has done a number on the sport.

I agree with both of them, boxing has too much archaic thinking and badly needs to modernise

It's funny how PBC stans always act like their fighters were getting treated like royalty. When the truth is PBC were no different than every other promotional company. PBC had a pimp-ho relationship with their fighters. They pay them ok money for weak matchups. Which may be good short term but long term all these guys fizzle out into obscurity. And that's exactly how all promoters like it.i was literally the first person in this section to call this shyt out...called it out when showtime went to crap in 2014 which was pre-pbc and pbc within a year of its launch...it was bizarro world to see nikkas excited over shyt like danny garcia vs robert guerrero
I've always said the reason PBC isn't putting on good matchups despite having so much talent isn't because they don't know any better. It's because they don't want the talent out growing the business. Cause once that happens, the ho's have all the power and the pimps become irrelevant. It's why they feed tank bums and keep him right around 200k ppv buys. After the Ryan fight they shoulda been eager to put him in another huge fight. But nah...right back to some bullshyt. It's all calculated.
But all these old suits don't realize it's a new day. In today's game the ho's don't need the pimps. They can just make an onlyfans and promote themselves on Twitter and get rich. People can become overnight sensations in today's world. Just like bud did.
Those Spence-Crawford negotiations shoulda been enough for everyone to see how scandalous PBC truly is. And yet the Stan’s on here still defended them the whole way. Offering a fighter no guarantee is some of the lowest shyt I ever seen in the boxing business. But bud understood his worth. He knew they would have to fold eventually. And that’s exactly what happened. So I’m not mad to see these guys go down. Hope to see em all go the same way. The inmates are controlling the prison now. You need the stars like canelo and bud to come together and form a union. Just like the nba has the NBPA. Stop letting these old white fukks leech off their hard work. Understand that without their talent these guys have nothing. Bud and Spence forcing PBC to make that fight proved that loud and clear.
im equally sad about shobox going away,..shyt i was watching at its inception when the late great nick charles was doing the blow by blow
shobox served a purpose like FNF did
