I’ve seen a lot of fighters struggle to keep their socials active once training ramps up, so having extra hands on the wheel could help them stay visible without burning out. I’ve used Famoid before to keep my own pages from going quiet, and a little boost can make a big difference in how often people actually see your posts. Co-management might do the same for these fighters.
Ufc for boxing is coming and I don't mind. Anything is better then the convoluted and conglomerated mess we have now.
It is? How can you guarantee Haymon won't fix fights?
This explains a lot. I wonder if the press conferences will be scripted also. Will Guerrero's father take a swing at Thurman's trainer at the final press conference just to "build excitement" for the fight the way they do in professional wrestling (I apologize to all the idiots on this site who think Rasslin is real).
It's getting clearer every day that Haymon is using WWE as the benchmark for PBC. Haymon also seems to want to eliminate the risks and uncertainty involved in PBC Boxing, because after investors have spent millions on a particular fighter's promotion the fans' interest might disappear if the fighter is knocked out in a match. So it's likely that Haymon will try to eliminate as much of this risk as possible. That might mean scripted fights like in WWE.
Another problem with knockouts on NBC is that the commercials between rounds will suffer if the matches are shorter than 12 rounds, so Haymon might prohibit knockouts in PBC's matches on NBC.
Al Haymon has clearly no respect at all for boxing as a sport, and doesn't even seem to see boxing as a sport at all, but rather only as entertainment where he can make up his own rules.
.
I don't dislike Al Haymon as a person. He clearly knows what the idiot masses want and is willing to give it to them, and that's the hallmark of a successful businessman.
I really dislike these guys on his internet forum defense payroll who play dumb and spin everything he does as "great for the sport". Yeah, scripted WWF feuds are really what boxing needs.
Matter of time before a high profile fight gets busted as a fix like back in the don King era.

Pretty much all the major sports leagues control what their players can and can't say on twitter.
uhhh yeah that's not the same thing at all but you already know that, dedicated haymonite

The leagues don't tweet for them though. That's not even the issue by the way.
It's the fact that they've shown to be incompetent with the errors they've made while tweeting from the fighters' accounts.
I can't wait for boxing Wrestlmania on NBC in 2016. 30 boxers, one night. A new boxer comes into the ring every 3 minutes.
That's royal rumble not wrestlemania
lol that's embarrassing. I know for sure Thurman runs his own account though, he has the same style of writing as he did before his account was verified and before this big NBC deal
They have ai now that can copy all that.
