I'm calling it, Michael Hunter will replace Miller and fight AJ on June 1st.

Has Ortiz sent one of these yet? Everybody wants Ortiz but Ortiz gotta want it. Make a move Luis, last time you had the chance to make a move you waited 7 weeks and only made a move when Joshua had signed to fight Miller. Good Question! He doesn't have an official Instagram or Twitter, his Manager Jay Jimenez usually release a statement for Ortiz but haven't heard anything This is old but :lol1: View this post on Instagram No caption needed ...👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼 repost from boxingsweetscience2.0 lsboxing A post shared by Jay Jimenez the Advisor & mgt (@kingkongboxing) on Feb 27, 2019 at 8:39pm PST

A good chunk of the audience at MSG will be Brits. Hardcore fans probably want Ortiz, but what would the British fans rather see? AJ vs a known guy like Ortiz, or AJ knocking out an American boxer in America? I'm genuinely asking. If the answer is the later, then it's a no brainer to make the Hunter fight if DAZN will pay for it. Personally, I think he should fight Pulev, but as another poster pointed out he might not take the fighter either due to the shorter camp or the cut he got last time out.

I've changed my mind since last night, I think it's going to be Diamond Boy now

You're the one going into conspiracy theories. I'm giving you facts from the trial. The judge said Golden Boy failed to prove Haymon hadv those managerial powers. So why didn't they present this document to the courts? That isn't what happened. Golden Boy lost the lawsuit because they couldn't prove that Haymon was engaging in monopolistic practices and hurting competition in boxing. They also couldn't prove that there were barriers to entry in terms of tv deals/venue reservations for PBC's rivals. Unless you actually believe that PBC fighters can fight on non PBC shows without Haymon's permission then nothing I said was false.

Other than Steve Kim give me a source to prove its real. Steve Kim is one of the least credible people in boxing. Why would you believe anything not provable about PBC from a guy that said this? http://i.imgur.com/1hq9iku.jpg He even wrote a fake news story about PBC being broke based on an anonymous reddit user. We know for a fact Goldenboy was planting fake stories in the press with reporters who were anti-PBC. We know for a fact that when Goldenboy presented that argument in court it was eviscerated by the judge. Let's stick to facts. Not Steve Kim gossip lol now you are going into conspiracy theories. Like I said before, why would Haymon sign guys to agreements where they could fight on non-PBC cards whenever they wanted? That would be incredibly stupid on his part and gross mismanagement of his business. You have zero evidence to show me that that contract is fake.

But we've determined that contract was fake news. So why are you still using it as a reference? Especially from Steve Kim an admitted PBC hater. Just because someone puts it on the internet doesn't mean it's true. What is true is, which came out in court, Golden Boy wouldn't allow their fighters to fight PBC fighters. Lets stick with the verifiable facts, not Steve Kim gossip The contract isn't fake dude, its definitely real. Steve Kim didn't write that himself. If there wasn't a clause that gave Haymon some kind of control over the careers of his fighters, then they could choose to fight on non PBC cards and sign with rival promoters without his permission. Haymon is a very smart guy and he knows that would be bad for his business. And yes, I know that GB wouldn't allow their guys to fight PBC fighters.

Your source for that is....??? Its written in the contract that I posted. "From and after the effective date and continuing for the duration of the term, fighter shall not enter into any agreement or arrangement, or grant any authority or power relating to any boxing activities without the prior written consent of Advisor."

Fighters choose what they want to do, some HIDE behind Haymon's Power while others like Khan go out and make their own moves and deals By the way and I could be wrong but Hunter is still advised by Al Haymon if I'm not mistaking he is still listed on the PBC Roster... https://www.premierboxingchampions.com/michael-hunter Hunter may still have Haymon as an advisor idk. Either his contract with Al expired or Haymon gave him consent to sign with Matchroom. Danny Jacobs and Jessie Vargas both have said they are still advised by Haymon.

Jacobs and Vargas have both stated in interviews that Haymon was involved with getting them deals with DAZN/Matchroom. Sure, and I didn't say he wouldn't be involved getting a deal for Ortiz here. But Haymon couldn't just stop those two from signing deals with DAZN, he doesn't have that type of control. He can tell them to sign or not sign, but if they want to sign, he can't prevent it was my point. I mean you really think he would want to lose someone like Jacobs who would be a future big fight opponent for one of his younger stars in Charlo? And if he had Jacobs, then he may have been able to pry GGG to PBC.

I'm saying contracts are not the same. That was put out as the standard Haymon contract. Do you really think Wilder's contract with PBC is the same as someone like Luis Nery? Probably not. All i'm saying is that fighters who are signed with Haymon can't just take a fight on another network without his consent.

Nothing was preventing Wilder from signing that deal. Could Haymon have told him not to take it? Sure, but if Wilder badly wanted to sign it then he could have. And the contracts are written different for different fighters. If you think Haymon could just prevent Ortiz from taking the deal, then why didn't he do so with Jacobs/Vargas/etc? Then none of his signed fighters would ever fight on other networks. If Haymon wants to save Ortiz for Wilder later this year then sure, I could see him telling him not to take the deal since he will match whatever offer Hearn gives for the Wilder rematch. But he's not going to be able to force him to pass on that offer because he doesn't want Ortiz on DAZN. Jacobs and Vargas have both stated in interviews that Haymon was involved with getting them deals with DAZN/Matchroom.

That contract is fake news. There is not a standard contract in boxing or any sport for that matter. All contracts differ from another. How is it "fake news"? Are you saying that it isn't a real contract?

Ortiz is a way bigger name in America than Hunter. AJ-Ortiz is far and beyond the biggest fight.

Hunter is not ranked by anybody but the IBF and he is ranked 10th by them. Bocrec ranks him 20th in the world. There are better higher ranked boxers AJ could be fighting.

I never even heard of Hunter and have to research him to know who he is and what he has done. I doubt he replaces Miller. Really? Check out his fight with Usyk. First half of the fight was very competitive until Usyk took over and late in the fight he just put it on Hunter. But Hunter is a really solid fighter. Wouldn't be surprised if he wins a CW strap soon or even if gives some of the top heavies some issues.

Dude, Haymon just stopped Wilder from getting his highest career purse. Nothing was preventing Wilder from signing that deal. Could Haymon have told him not to take it? Sure, but if Wilder badly wanted to sign it then he could have. And the contracts are written different for different fighters.
