You have to ask why PBC hasn't already made Barrios vs Norman and Lara vs Adames. Maybe Barrios and Lara don't fancy it?

Because if Stanionis loses against boots he can come back in house and beat Barrios. Barrios is the weakest champion in the division. If i was him I would avoid all non mandatory fights lol.

As I stated... Human Genome Project proved those conspiracies as lies. Started by the BHI sect.
and that takes us to Al Haymon and the PBC, who with a deal in place to incorporate Arum’s promotion into the fold, looks to have finally put in place an American boxing powerhouse the likes of which we have not seen since the days of Kingvision, Top Rank, Main Events, and Kushner Promotions. Great move by Haymon and Arum. Perhaps we can take AMERICAN boxing back to the 90s

The matter came to a head recently when Saudi Arabia boxing financier Turki Alalshikh staged a talent-filled, seven-fight February 22 card that included the Dmitry Bivol-Artur Beterbiev undisputed light-heavyweight championship fight, a lightweight title defense by pound-for-pound elite Shakur Stevenson, a middleweight title bout and an epic opening match between light-heavyweights Callum Smith and Joshua Buatsi, yet drew just a reported 45,000 U.S. pay-per-view buys on DAZN.
One week later on Prime Video, a lightweight title defense in Brooklyn by PBC’s unbeaten WBA champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis generated a reported 260,000 buys even though challenger Lamont Roach Jnr was a 16/1 betting underdog.
“There’s no question about it,” that fights are better received when staged in the U.S., Arum told BoxingScene Tuesday.
I'm sorry US fans, but you get the fights that you deserve.
Bob's plan is clear. They don't need to make great fights to sell PPVs. They just need to put them on in the evening. And that market will continue to shrink as average flights go behind a paywall.

Hey Mr SteveM can you tell me if people were mad when hearing that MR and Qbury were on the same network or we they....ahem... 'Through the moon" (Hearn's voice)Oldskoolg

He could have fought Teo after he Beat Loma,
Could have fought Haney after he became Undisputed
Could have fought Loma years ago.
Is not fighting Shakur or Keyshawn.
If they don't make good fights then obviously they will die out.SteveM likes this.
