I really don't have any beef with PBC, but if I do have any it is this. If they paired down the networks and streamlined their broadcasts the presentation would be great. And you are right about ESPN...Dan gets asked every chat if FNF is coming back. Fans are upset that PBC has ruined it...they have great prospects, they could easily make a great FNF themselves.

I see a huge PBC roster with a lot of the top fighters. They probably have the deepest roster of anyone, more than Showtime has under contract and HBO, but yet I feel like PBC is more on equal footing. My expectation was PBC would leverage the quantity of quality fighters they have. With the top fighters they have if they kept them active they literally could be putting on fights every weekend with a top fighter (even if they weren't matched with each other), yet it seems like we get a lot of fights with their mediocre talent and the top guys sit on the bench and aren't as active as they should be.

Just going off their website they have: Garcia, Khan, Broner, Wilder, Figgy, Charlo's, Lara, Porter, Thurman, LSC, Jacobs, Quillin, GRJ, Spence, Beterbiev, Stevenson, and plenty more (you get the picture) if all these guys were fighting 2-3 times a year, they would have desirable cards every weekend.

I think that is what most PBC supporters overlook. When they are criticized it isn't because they are bad, they arent; it is because they could be so much more. I remember we talked how we thought 2016 was maybe the year they unleashed all the fights they could make or just get guys more active, instead it seems more status quo.

agreed and +rep

I gotta admit, although I really want to see PBC succeed, I'm worried about the fact that even a huge fight like Porter - Thurman has failed to garner much hype to the sport. Undoubtedly one of the more interesting and important fights for PBC going forward, I really feel like I haven't seen the proper promotion, coverage, or hype for it -- before, nor after, the postponement.

Maybe a bit early to get worried, but the fight is a big deal and should launch Keith to the top of the division after he knocks Porter out.

From what I've gathered from talking to my friends, Thurman was in the spotlight after beating Guerrero, but PBC has handled the careers of both Thurman and Porter so poorly that they might as well just be prospects in the WW division.

Lil Kee Kee N Porter haven't been in the ring in a year

The fight has had so many will they won't they N other fukkery Hardcores have turned on the fight...imagine the casuals


ERRYBODY shytted on Angel Garcia for his thoughts on how the fight shoulda been handled N I Guarandamntee shyt would be going ALOT better N the Fight would have interest if they did it that way

Instead they trout out Thurman N Porter N they both got Danny Garcia name in they mouth....The go to move when you can't build interest on your own...talk about the Champ of the world

 

[H.I.M.]

The highlights of the dramatic event included:

• Klitschko finishing his closing statements, just a couple of moments after blasting Fury's character and calling him 'classless', by telling his rival to 'f*** off'.

Klitschko telling Fury that he has not represented the sport of boxing at all well, and quoting Fury's controversial comments that 'the best place for a woman is in the kitchen or on her back', and that 'homosexuals are comparable to paedophiles'.​

I'm actually enjoying the trash talk between all of the top Welters. Hopefully it translates into fights

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

Got dayum...just brutal.

 

[King P]

Gotdamn Uchiyama, that was brutal

This hoe ass nikka Thurman testing my stanning abilites

 

[HeruDat1]

I'm just glad Keith came out of hiding. He loves to talk and he's decent at it so a lot of the promotion falls on him.


He looked very focused at the press conference yesterday all throughout.

Also I think that June 25 date at Barclays > March whatever in Connecticut

Terrorist group plotted to kidnap boxer Manny Pacquiao, President Aquino says

Manny Pacquiao (Reuters)

Filipino president Benigno Aquino III said Abu Sayyaf, a militant Muslin group based in the Philippines, planned to assassinate him and was plotting to kidnap boxer Manny Pacquiao, according to a report from The Associated Press.

Pacquiao, who announced his retirement as a boxer following an April 9 victory over Timothy Bradley in Las Vegas, is a congressman representing Sarangani province and the most popular figure in the island nation. He is in the midst of a campaign for a seat in the Filipino senate.

Aquino said the government scuttled Abu Sayyaf's plans to detonate bombs in Manila.




They allegedly even hatched plots to kidnap Manny Pacquiao or one of his children, as well as my sister Kris or one of her children, with the plan to use them in bargaining for the release of their cohorts. Threats against my own life have been investigated.



Aquino gave no further details about Pacquiao.

Lmao yeah that's rough for everyone who had their trip laid out.

But I've never been to either, just assuming Barclays is one of the best US boxing venues outside of Vegas recently. Its New York City and its summer time. No basketball on, no football on, no1 watches baseball on a Saturday night ...barely any fights scheduled around that time. I think overall the setting and time is better and could be bigger than previously scheduled.

Just need more Keith telling Shawn he loves him but he gotta put him to sleep. Lol. And some ether from Kenny.
