Is Al Haymon's INVOLVEMENT IN BOXING a GOOD or BAD Thing?

He's been a breath of fresh air up to this point. I have no problem with Haymon buying up TV air space to get his fighters dates. In fact it should encourage others to do so. The Rigo situation is a prime example. After his greatest victory he was frozen out by HBO. 20 dates on NBC Sports and 3 on NBC. Why would any real boxing fan have a problem with that? When it's a black guy, apparently. Think about it. Most to fans clamor for boxing's return to TV and moan about the big networks' reluctance to invest in it. Not here comes a guy who's willing to invest his own money into buying slots to showcase and air fights -- taking on the costs himself! -- and people bytch about it?! Are people for real?? If this were Arum, he'd be lauded as the messiah, the savior of boxing. Just like people said when he made that Mosley-Pacquiao stinker and got CBS involved in the marketing. "Forget the match, it's good for BOXING! They're investing in the SPORT!" Now that they invest more than they ever had, people complain that they're losing money on the Floyd deal (the same people that complained about Floyd's inactivity), complain that this guy is trying to invest money into bringing more boxing to the mainstream and to the fans. I just don't understand this sometimes.

Don't See how as a so called "fan" of the sport you could say he's good for boxing. No other sport on this earth is like boxing i swear

He is bad, especially with the way he is handling Garcia at the moment. The poll doesnt correlate to the question.

while i like the idea of one big boxing boss, is al haymon that dude? so far, hes done his job as advisor very well (high reward low risk fights). if he becomes the dana white of boxing, how does that affect his advisor status? Will his promotion affect his advisorship of his fighters fighting salkas for massive money?

Tase...you're my boy...but your poll question and options do not coincide.

He was good for some of the fighters, at least until recently. Boxers like Berto and Arreola weren't really wold-class, yet they were very well-paid. But overall he's bad for the sport, because there are too many mismatches. Fans want competitive fights. agree.... not only that... he's a shady type who does not fully comply with the established norms of doing business... what the al & rs tandem did to gbp is like a stab at oskie's back... oskie being a druggie is no reason enough for them to do such thing... it is like kicking a man already down on the ground....

It's definitely not good for the fans. He is not good for the promoters or the networks. Just witness GBP, HBO, SHOW to make profits from this. Long term wise, network will find other promoters to work with.

Simple question. Is his involvement in boxing a good or bad thing for the sport? Ive already given my opinion and risked my life exposing the truth about this crime lord on the what is al haymon planning thread Poll to come. Discuss.... Short-term, he benefits the boxer. Given Al Haymon's history of providing horrible fights, he is definitely bad for boxing. These mismatches plus overpaying the boxers will cause everyone (from the promoters, the networks, and the fans) to lose $$.

You must be high and :alcoholic at the same time. http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/tear.gif

He is absolutely terrible for the sport. If he tapped up players like he does boxers in any other sport he would be banned. The guy's a crook and will only damge the sport in the long run. The question is, how much?:nonono: You must be high and :alcoholic at the same time.

He's good for the people he works with and bad for his competition, this usually happens when a man attains power. Big Dunn has k!.lled the competition today almost every post Ive read has been on point. Stay embarrassing these fools. https://i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/2962209536/hDB385837/

While he make look like a Satanic horse man I'm highly dubious about this "Al Haymon is the devil" bull**** although the fact that Garcia's fighting Salka is completely insane. Utter madness.

While it seems pedantic the poll should just be "Good" or "Bad" not "Yes" or "No" cause at the minute the phrasing makes no ****ing sense.

It's definitely not good for the fans.

"Pacquiao is brave to take on Rios" - Bernard Hopkins "Rios is a beast" - Mike Tyson These are black fighters, doe. Try again. Keep fooling yourselves. Dey paid to say dat doe

you liked manny v rios-why are you mad if other people like watching their favorite fighter in similair blow out easy fights? "Pacquiao is brave to take on Rios" - Bernard Hopkins "Rios is a beast" - Mike Tyson These are black fighters, doe. Try again. Keep fooling yourselves.

You didn't answer the question ass kisser. If you're a fan, why would you want to see named fighters fighting nobodies just because it's safe for them and make tons of money at the same time? you liked manny v rios-why are you mad if other people like watching their favorite fighter in similair blow out easy fights?
