What do the sanctioning bodies have to do with Haymon taking a boat load of fighters and going to another network or the creation of DAZN, ESPN boxing, where you now have had boxing on 10 different networks in America vs what we had before where all the notable fighters fought primarily on HBO and sometimes Showtime with the upcoming prospects fighting on ShoBox and Friday Night Fights on ESPN.... Can you explain how sanctioning bodies fukked all this up be cause sanctioning bodies were here doing the same thing they're doing now for nearly a century

Canelo sued DAZN and GB
Crawford sued TR
Without the Saudis Usyk vs Fury and Bivol vs Beterbiev wouldn't go down. No talk about them going broke when they literally need an oil rich nation to fund big fights. The problem so called boxing fans have with PBC is clear

Why do yall feel the need to so desperately defend Al Haymon?? I never understood this.. Like he cant catch smoke like everyone else.. PBC dont give a fukk aboutCanelo sued DAZN and GB

this has been quite the 48 hours in boxing 
my 2 cents
Canelo - this is a duck. a very blatant one. him and his legal team have become quite savvy in finding loopholes to get out of contracts and they got one. Munguia you can argue a pro or con of him fighting but Berlanga is unacceptable. whats worse WBA ruled that fighting Berlanga satisfy a mando. Berlanga isnt the number 1 contender nor is he the regular champion that they are "trying" to get up out of their rotation of belts. thats fukking insane
PBC - This couldn't have come at the worst time. They have yet to have one show air on their new platform. They have not announced a slate of shows. It was announced that its first non PPV wont be until at least June. And they lose a marquee player from their roster. there are others that have left since showtime got out of the boxing game but this will have a consequence. PBC could have sued Canelo stupid for breach of contract if Benavidez was actually part of the 3 fight deal...but he wasnt. Admirable that PBC said fukk that you gon face Benavidez but the business wasnt air tight...this is not the first time Canelo has gotten one over PBC too. Now they have to really take the matchmaking very seriously to keep a viable product because main card of the first PBC Prime offering is not hittin at all.

Canelo never fighting that man
Shawn Porter's issues imo is because he never beat the best of his Gen + his Pops being closer with Bud and Spence (damn near like damn I wish y'all were my sons lmfao)
The only folks I have seen complain about PBC were dudes who were not that good (so they felt under utilized, which at the end of the day everyone isn't going to be Number 1 so you do need something to keep mid tier guys busy or just don't sign em long term) and Adrien Broner. Everyone else I have seen sing PBC's praises.
The current folks who just left imo is more so a sign of the Boxing Money drying up because TR is going to be in an interesting situation when ever Reup time comes also.
IMO We have now seen both sides of when there isn't balance, PBC = let Boxers run wild and they will always do Lowest Risk highest Reward, and the other side which is Promoters tearing fighters like Peons.
Canelo's pay days don't even make sense if you ask me, the Avg American doesn't even know who he is so it isn't like he is some Branding Golden Child like say Anthony Joshua where paying him a ton you get ROI at scale as he touches many areas lol.

Al Haymon and the PBC is apart of a bunch of big fights not going down. Me bringing them up giving the just due criticism means i'm obsessed? I'm just trying to figure out why criticizing them makes you nikkas pussies start bleeding??
Obviously I'd rather see him vs Benavidez.. Benavidez is a Haymon fighter. a Haymon fighter that was not apart of Canelo's deal?? And we never are gonna get full transparency or any kind of clarification from Al Haymon on why he wasn't on that contract.. or what was the actual offer they tried to negotiate. Al Haymon will have nikkas in here arguing and debating rumors, theories, and quotes from unverifies sources on how the deal fell through because he too bytch made to be interviewed or make a pulic statement.. We haven't even hear shyt from a PBC rep

damn Bud fukked up the Canelo deal
So Canelo was willing to fight Errol but now he juelzing about why Bud ain't a viable opponent? He ducking Benavidez and Bud
