Each Thursday right here at FightHype, we make an area among the many video content material for , old school written phrase cash shot from the depths of my bulbous, bulging sack. So, prepare for a few of that notorious Magno-rific gooey, salty, typically NSFW reality. This week, we’ve got feedback/questions relating to Canelo-Berlanga outrage and PBC’s future.
Accomplished with Canelo
Hello Paul.
I can’t start to let you know how disenchanted I’m in Canelo for selecting a smooth contact like Berlanga to combat subsequent and for ducking David Benavidez. As somebody who was a fan of Canelo’s and a supporter all through his profession, this stings much more. I received’t be shopping for that farce of a combat and I don’t care about Canelo anymore. It’s apparent that he’s executed taking the game severely, so I’m executed taking him severely.

Hey Jorge.
I acquired a variety of emails like yours within the final day or so. Followers are NOT pleased with this resolution by Canelo. However being pissed and offended doesn’t matter one bit if followers don’t put some motion behind their emotion. I believe Canelo and everybody concerned within the combat are hoping that they will win followers over with good, heated promotion by combat night time and get them to make the impulse pay-per-view purchase. It’ll be as much as the followers to place actions behind phrases and simply cross on this combat. The buyer at all times has final energy in demanding high quality of product by merely refusing to buy. If Canelo can’t get his assure as a result of the opponents he selects don’t drive gross sales, then he’ll have to enhance the extent of his opposition or just go away. However, once more, that is all as much as the followers to vote with their client selection.

Fuck Canelo. He may as nicely be combating Jake Paul. At the least Jake Paul would make the press tour fascinating. Berlanga is trash and Canelo is insulting us by considering that we’ll purchase trash. He might imagine the followers are silly, however not all of us are. Fuck him and anybody that defends him. In my thoughts Benavidez ought to get credit score for the TKO over him. He scared Canelo sideways. Dude wants to remain in his silk pajamas and retire. Subsequent. Transfer on.

Hey Luis.
I hear you, and as I mentioned above, this all comes right down to followers utilizing their client energy to help boxing product they like and sink boxing product they don’t like. We’ll see what buys are like for this Berlanga combat. It’s only a disgrace, although, that Benavidez received’t be getting that shot to show himself on the principle stage. There’s zero excuse for him not getting that chance. Canelo-Benavidez was not solely the perfect combat, competitively, for Alvarez, it was additionally probably the most profitable. Canelo simply didn’t wish to cope with Benavidez.
PBC on Prime
Hello Paul.
Since PBC began their Prime deal, we’ve gotten lower than one present per 30 days and there’s nothing confirmed on the horizon aside from that terrible Canelo-Berlanga PPV in September, which is a co-promotion combat anyway. Their supposed free present in August was scrapped. There’s zero buzz about their product and their fighters are combating elsewhere to make ends meet. I’ve by no means been one of many PBC goes out of enterprise folks, however it’s exhausting to combat the notion that the corporate is simply truly fizzling out. Do you could have any perception about what could also be happening with PBC?
– M.L.
Hey M.L.
I do not know what’s happening and I’m aware of no “insider” data, however, clearly one thing is “off” throughout the firm. That canceled August 17 present, for instance, is a first-rate instance (no pun meant). If Trevor McCumby drops out versus Caleb Plant, so what? Get a substitute. No one’s watching ot attending to see the grand McCumby comeback. Canceling that present additionally eliminates one supply of promotion for that Canelo-Berlanga monstrosity a month later. In the course of the lead-in to the Canelo-Munguia PPV, Golden Boy had reside occasions the place they hyped the present on DAZN, whereas PBC had nothing happening past web chatter. By combat night time, it nearly appeared as if Canelo-Munguia was a DAZN/Golden Boy manufacturing. The identical goes to occur with Canelo-Berlanga (though PBC might NOT wish to take credit score for that one). There appears to be a disconnect inside PBC that makes me query quite a bit concerning the firm’s future. The reveals they HAVE placed on have been glorious, however what good can come of them in the event that they’re walled off behind a paywall and dropped right into a void? However this isn’t my battle. It doesn’t matter to me or my backside line whether or not PBC is in enterprise or out of enterprise. However there was positively promise there, with their tweaks to the established order and a extra fighter-friendly enterprise mannequin, that might’ve executed a variety of good for the sports activities and its athletes. My hunch is that, sadly, the fixed unanswered assaults from the outdated guard goons have destroyed the title of the corporate and have poisoned the nicely in terms of having the ability to promote the product anymore. That’s simply my hunch.
