This makes 0 sense.
This fight has NO buzz and actually should've been on the undercard of Danny Garcia vs Paulie Malignaggi or at LEAST throw it to Showtime. Bounce TV?
This is exactly why, outside of the pay they receive, I think PBC is horrible when it comes to marketing/promoting/building hype for it's young talent....this is just further proof for me
You have an undefeated, 3x Olympian fighting for a Championship, and THIS is the type of promotion/marketing/hype he receives?
Someone asked before why Beterbiev doesnt receive the same hype as GGG. Well, this is why. They dont know HOW to build stars. Mayweather was already a star and AB/Swift/Thurman already had the HBO/GB marketing push. No one has become a "star" under the PBC banner, because they dont know how to build them apparently
- Sign an elite US amateur who was a 3x Olympian...the only 3x Olympian in US Men's Boxing history
- Have him fight in obscurity for 3 years
- Have him fight below average competition 13 fights in a row (best fighter he's ever faced was ranked #151 in the world with a 21-10-1 record coming into the fight...which was Warren's last fight)
- Throw him in with the undefeated #3 RING ranked Bantamweight in the VERY next fight
- Have the fight held in the Tough Enough Practice Facility....literallly, he's fighting where Tough Enough is taped
- Have the fight in the state of Florida, even though Rau'Shee Warren has a decent following in his homestate of Ohio...specifically Cincinnati
- Put the fight on a Sunday night
- Put the fight on Bounce TV, a channel Im sure 90% of America has never heard of before
- Say nothing about the upcoming fight or Rau'Shee Warren on your own website (www.premierboxingchampions.com) even though he's with Haymon.

yeah Haymon seriously needs to recruit an experienced matchmaker
the last time i saw him he was down wth mike tyson promotions. before the suspension..who knows who he is with
something ive said about PBC but someone got in his feelings about it the other day
the brother is an investor so he has some vital info and other info that we the public have no idea or clue about. Not to re-surface this little back and forth but you know..all peace in the valley..
richie schaeffer was head match maker of golden boy? he was part of the team..there was another dude at goldenboy who helped sort matches but look at how many careers got fukked due to some match making>?

thats 12 years 
its too early to me for PBC to create a star....however the stars that were created before on HBO/GB should have risen in stature some more but have pretty much regressed or stagnated in some way..the one who i think did neither, porter, does not have a fighting style that most ppl like to watch..work in progress but better matchmaking would help im sure in breaking the stalemate
