Controversial Boxing Insider Laughs at the Expense of PBC’s Downfall

Are Premier Boxing Champions going under? It’s a difficult question to answer without having an insider’s knowledge about the matter. However, a controversial figure in the boxing community, Rick Glaser, seems to have the answer! It’s true, things haven’t looked good for the Al Haymon led company that started all the way back in March 2015. 

Canelo Alvarez parted ways with the promotional company because of disagreements regarding the payouts and the quality of his opponents after his fight against Jermell Charlo last year in September. This was followed up by Terence Crawford cutting ties with the company, as his one fight deal expired after Errol Spence Jr. backed out of his rematch due to a cataract surgery. So, in a tweet dated 31 May, Glaser ripped into PBC’s current status in the sport. 

Glaser hints at PBC’s eventual demise

Continuing his relentless attacks on the promotional company, Glaser wrote, “3 guarantees in life are death, taxes, & fighters fleeing PBC!!! Mass exodus of fighters fleeing the stranglehold of the invisible.” Yet this tweet was nothing compared to what Glaser had alleged in his previous tweets about the promotional company.

It’s worth mentioning that not too long ago PBC signed a multi-year deal with Amazon Prime to air live boxing matches after Paramount pulled the plug on Showtime Boxing. However, their first boxing event met with an unfortunate incident when Keith Thurman pulled out of the fight at the last minute and Sebastian Fundora was brought in to replace Thurman.

Glaser alleges the non-PPV events promised by PBC on Amazon Prime have become a pipe dream because, as Glaser sees it, PBC has run out of money to accomplish such an endeavor. And unless the company manages to bring in new investors, all future bouts will include a pay-per-view price tag attached. 

To top it all off, the controversial boxing insider even alleged that the double header boxing event featuring Gervonta Davis and David Benavidez on June 15 will be Amazon Prime’s last boxing event regardless of the amount of cash the event manages to produce. However, it’s worth noting that neither PBC nor Amazon Prime have stepped up to confirm or deny any of this. Consequently, we’re left in the dark, awaiting the unfolding of events to shed light on the truth behind Glaser’s assertions.

In the interim, provided are the pay-per-view specifics for PBC’s most recent double header affair, potentially marking their final collaboration with Amazon Prime, as elucidated by Glaser.

Gervonta Davis and David Benavidez: PPV details

Following a prolonged year-long break, Gervonta Davis is set to return to the ring on June 15, facing off against Frank Martin at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The bout will feature the lightweight pair vying for Davis’ WBA lightweight championship. Simultaneously, David Benavidez will aim to seize the WBC interim light heavyweight title in a showdown against Oleksandr Gvozdyk.

So, the word on the street is that the fight will be available for live streaming on both Amazon Prime and PPV.com! However, Amazon Prime hasn’t spilled the beans on their pricing yet. Stateside, fans can tune in via PPV.com for $74.99, while across the pond in the UK, it’s priced at £58.98. With four title bouts on the card, spectators can surely expect a bang for their buck when the event rolls around later this month!

Amidst a string of setbacks plaguing Al Haymon’s PBC, Rick Glaser appears to relish in the organization’s misfortunes. Yet, the question of PBC’s imminent demise remains a subject of heated debate. Even if they’re facing dire straits, there are plausible avenues for them to navigate out of the rough patch. As for whether PBC’s days are numbered, opinions may vary widely on that front.
