Originally posted by ***1048;ATAS View PostI'm really curious how it's all going to work too. He has a couple of big investors behind him, so it's not his personal money he's spending. Someone else mentioned this, perhaps his end game here is a bidding war. He's got all these networks showing boxing, perhaps after X amount of time he's expecting a big Fox UFC type deal offered to him. That would certainly payback his investors.
what was it so far?
Paying of Schaeffer
Buying the other GBP fighters
Enlisting 200+ fighters
These supposed huge paydays that eclipse network budgets
Buying airtime that's already in the millions
I can't imagine he can go long without producing results ASAP and getting the investors mad.
Remember when we thought GBP was doing good? Well looks like the investors didn't agree

LOL at the savior of boxing. Dude's just going to take alienation to another level and once he's in control of everything, give us the good ole Garcia/Salsa fights.
What're we gonna do?
Nothing, he's saving boxing

Haymon is seriously burning thru some cash, that's what I find interesting. It's not like he has big time investors, he has money from Wadell & Reed for phuck sake, a real Hedge Fund or VC wouldn't ever invest in boxing.
Really interesting times to see what happens. He burned bridges at HBO and looks like he is playing Showtime, if he can't sell ad time or a network deal the house of cards is going to crash. I'm genuinely curios to see how this plays out. Especially considering how he had a very troubled departure out of the music business.
I really think his end game is a liquidity event, just like he did with his previous business.
