between Al Haymon, Bob Arum and Eddie Hearn who do you feel, at the moment, genually puts out the best fights?
PBC seems to get the most flak because they tend to do more in-house shows then Top Rank or Matchroom and not as much cross promotionJeff_lacy_ko wrote: ↑02 Apr 2020, 16:01 In the past decade id have said gary shaw
Out of those its tough to say. Pbc gets flak but they had some great matchups the past couple years.
The most consistent "promotion" that has given us great fights is wbss
Grew up on Don. Back when Teddy Brenner was the MSG matchmaker. Then Brenner got fired becuase Sonny Werblin made a deal with the devil. Don king is evil. Pure unadulterated evil.margaret thatcher wrote: ↑02 Apr 2020, 20:29 Don used to do some ridiuclously stacked cards in the day. And not Eddeh 'stacked' where it's a bunch of name opponents in total huge mismatches, but pretty much top to bottom good world class fights
I performed some research a year or so ago and worked out (at the time) that the PBC stable had roughly 200 fighters, with fifty of them rated in the top ten of their respective divisions by ESPN and/or The RING, as well as 16 world champions possessing titles from the WBA/WBC/IBF/WBO.thunderking500 wrote: ↑02 Apr 2020, 16:03PBC seems to get the most flak because they tend to do more in-house shows then Top Rank or Matchroom and not as much cross promotion

I can resurrect my old post and provide you a list of those fifty world-rated fighters if you need me to.
To be fair, when a boxing content provider has a stable that size, it’s challenging to keep all those fighters busy, so Haymon already has what he needs to stage fight cards televised by Fox/Showtime, without having to work with his rivals.
The PBC does allow their stable to compete on rival networks/promoters though. And it’d wrong to say otherwise. This was actually proven in court to be true.
And let’s not forget that most of the PBC stable are network & promotional free agents, since the likes of Mikey Garcia, Danny Jacobs, Serhiy Derevianchenko & Amir Khan have all worked with GBP, Top Rank & Matchroom.
The main reason why the likes of Top Rank, GBP & Matchroom request for PBC fighters to compete on their events so often, is because their own stables aren’t big enough to ensure quality fight cards.

Top rank has more shows? I doubt that. None are better than the other. Just depends on who they have in their divisions.
