Each Thursday right here at FightHype, we make an area among the many video content material for a very good, old style 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 fact. This week, we have now feedback/questions concerning Canelo-Berlanga outrage and PBC’s future.
Finished with Canelo
Hello Paul.
I can’t start to inform you 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 achieved taking the game severely, so I’m achieved taking him severely.

Hey Jorge.
I bought a number of emails like yours within the final day or so. Followers are NOT pleased with this determination 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’ll 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 patron 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 shopper selection.
Finished with Canelo 2
Magno.
Fuck Canelo. He would possibly as nicely be preventing Jake Paul. A minimum of Jake Paul would make the press tour attention-grabbing. Berlanga is trash and Canelo is insulting us by pondering 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 stated above, this all comes right down to followers utilizing their shopper energy to assist 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 most effective combat, competitively, for Alvarez, it was additionally probably the most profitable. Canelo simply didn’t wish to take care of Benavidez.
PBC on Prime
Hello Paul.
Since PBC began their Prime deal, we’ve gotten lower than one present per thirty 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 preventing elsewhere to make ends meet. I’ve by no means been one of many PBC goes out of enterprise individuals, nevertheless it’s laborious to combat the notion that the corporate is simply really 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” information, however, clearly one thing is “off” inside the firm. That canceled August 17 present, for instance, is a main instance (no pun supposed). If Trevor McCumby drops out versus Caleb Plant, so what? Get a substitute. No person’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. Throughout 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 virtually 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 so much 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 undoubtedly promise there, with their tweaks to the established order and a extra fighter-friendly enterprise mannequin, that would’ve achieved a number of good for the sports activities and its athletes. My hunch is that, sadly, the fixed unanswered assaults from the previous guard goons have destroyed the identify of the corporate and have poisoned the nicely in relation to with the ability to promote the product anymore. That’s simply my hunch.
