Boxing insiders predict Al Haymon's PBC will be 'doomed', pray for 'miracle investor'

Rick Glaser It seems he really dislikes Premier Boxing Champions, at least based on the volume of tweets he's posted against them in recent weeks. Al Haymon While the PBC-led company has not responded to Glazer's claims on social media, controversial boxing insiders continue to speak out about Glazer – this time suggesting that the promotional company's time is soon up.

Now, the crux of the argument here is that Glaser believes that while the PBC is losing money, the fighters are parting ways with them. There may be some truth to that.

Rick Glaser reveals conversation with boxing executive

Premier Boxing Champions began operations with their first boxing card broadcast on NBC on March 7, 2015. Since then, the promotion has become a giant in the industry, with many popular fighters on their roster and millions of dollars in prize money. Plus, they have some amazing and highly anticipated matchups. Gervonta Davis and Frank Martin It's getting closer.

But as for Glaser, Al Haymon and his company are eager to get new investors through their doors. “Al Haymon and #PBC are now one #boxing [Executive] Someone said to me yesterday, “We're rapidly becoming irrelevant,” and I replied, “And slowly going out of business.” According to Glaser, the unnamed boxing executive agreed that PBC was going out of business.

Glaser also suggested that executives had told him: “Right now they are just hanging on by a thread, hoping for a miracle investor to show up. The reality is that PBC is doomed and will not survive for long.” Time will tell if PBC is truly in trouble, but Glazer's previous tweets suggest he doesn't mind the company going bust sooner than later.

In a tweet on May 23, the boxing insider again criticized PBC, arguing that a deal with new investors was the only way to save the organization. However, he added: “The June 15th doubleheader between #TankDavis and #DavidBenavidez will be the last #boxing event on #AmazonPrime and #PBC, regardless of PPV buys.”

Glaser alleged that the promotional company was unable to maintain healthy relationships with its broadcast partners and has once again lost broadcasters. It is also worth mentioning that HBO and Showtime, who were affiliated with PBC, have pulled out of the sport, which is why PBC is no longer affiliated with them.

Despite the attacks, PBC has not taken any retaliatory action against Glaser or made any public statement about the situation. This could mean that either what Glaser said is true or the company doesn't want to be bothered by rumors. Which do you think is more likely?
