Its been enormously fruitful. We have met with so many people and its really helped me get a sense of the lay of the land, said Duva on Friday from Russia. We have more meetings. In fact, I was planning to leave here on Sunday and now we're going to push it back a few more days. We have more meetings in Moscow next week.
Thats still the tentative plan but nothing is set in stone, confirmed Duva, who added, We have a lot of pieces to to put together. There are sponsors; there are investors. Theres TV networks; theres venues and we really have got to tie all that together in one neat package. So until we've made decisions, for example, who the broadcasters are going to be, whos funding us whether its a sponsor or an investor all these things have to come together. Once we put all those things in place, then we can make a decision about opponents.
Duva continued, Its been a really fruitful trip; it was a really good idea to come here. The shame of this is that if the purse bid had happened when it was supposed to, we would be in a position to bid.
But sadly, they pushed it and thats too bad because I really needed to come here with Sergey, take the time to make the meetings we had, to talk to the people we have talked to, explained Duva, who took heat for pulling out of the purse bid to protect their relationship with the network that had invested so much into Kovalev. We have met with some people who can buy and sell Al Haymon 15 times. We can certainly bring a fight to Russia now. I feel we could do it but we couldnt do it .
So do these Russians have hedge funds?
"They don't need those", answered Duva, laughing at the thought.

What is Oscar's new business model? He seems like he's doing the best he can & making good fights, but thats kinda what he always did so idk what this new business model is. He's just got a much smaller roster than he did have.
I think you can see busines model by looking at the announcements that have come out in recent months....De La Hoya TV, the Belasco Fight Night Club series, the Estrella TV deal, and the Ring TV streaming channel.
De La Hoya TV gives them the capacity to produce some of their own cards, much like Top Rank does with TopRank.tv.
They're going to distribute those fight cards on TV in Spanish-speaking markets (Estrella TV) and Streaming devices like Roku (Ring TV).
The Estrella TV deal is for two fights a month for three months, and will include the Fight Night Club series in LA.
That's how Golden Boy plans on building their prospects.
And they're going to try to people to Ring TV by streaming their own fights, weigh-ins, interviews and other pieces, and GBP prior fights.
Haymon is not investing **** of his personal money... or very lottle.
Nobody as business savvy as Haymon uses their own money for investments - you get OTHER investors to put up the money for your ideas/plans.
He's been in boxing for years just barely this year he got some investment money

She supposedly has all these investors lined up, but will still not make a fight unless it is approved by HBO because she relies solely on HBO to pay Kovalev and keep her promotion in business.
The Haymon Defence Force seem unusually rattled by this for some reason.

Why are they willing to invest money in Haymon's projects? It is easy for people to flap their gums on the internet because they don't have an understanding of what people are looking for.
Haymon is able to get investors support whilst De La Hoya is not. The fact that De La Hoya is a coke head shouldn't be overlooked when talking about what he would and wouldn't do with investors money. The fact of the matter is he could not stay sober in the build up for his prized assets fight. He's not someone people would trust with a wad full of cash because he sincerely wants to put on good match ups.
He sincerely wanted to end the cold war with Bob Arum and what did that result in? The decimation of his promotional company (Joint fights with Top Rank not included).
Thank you FeFist!
He's not investing, Waddell & Reed are. Give the hedge fund money to De La Hoya to play with and you can almost guarantee we'd be seeing better fights.

Ohhhhhhh shiiiii...T
Has loud mouth Duva responded to this??If this was about Haymon it would be front and center on boxingscene

Yes check out the thread in the here
She thought that fonfara was a nobody and wouldn't amount to anything
Yeah Duva but he can buy and sell you just 1 time. If you have people in Russia who can put up the money then why don't you allow the WBC to Order Kovalev vs Stevenson and let it go to a Bid. She backed out and rejected it TWICE!
Nobody ever said Haymon is the richest Man in he World but he is investing the most money into boxing compared to the rest

I bet her a hole is as wide as the M40 after getting smashed by all those ruskies promising her investment.
What a slag, cunt like a clowns pocket
Great post I 100% agree with you.green K

Holy **** this made me laugh.
garbage offer 500k when this is a mega fight in USSR. Why Weebler? why? only 500k, when these russians have so much money
That offer was made before Main Events travelled to Russia, the response from Beterbiev's promoter was that it was a fair enough offer. Bear in mind Beterbiev is not exactly a star, he has never headlined a card.
To add, Duva is merely talking at the moment, the proof of the pudding comes when the next purse bid is called.
where is weeble? come back and defend duvas honor
Duva is just another promoter. If there's any issue I have it's with the people who like to fantasize that Kovalev is somehow scared or reluctant to fight Stevenson. They know it isn't true, but they like to play along.

I understand Kovalev fans will defender her because that is who he is with but Duva is really in no position to be trying to talk about Haymon and what he is doing with his Money and his Company her Promotion is literally feeding off of 1 Guy
yea its funny that ever since Kov got that HBO deal shes been acting tough
Wouldn't it be funny if the Russians ended up doing a deal with her, then selling her and kov to Haymon.
