Eyes wide shut and I can still see through this. Can you?

Haymon just don't want Al to get a piece of the megafights. He'll do business with him on certain things, but it he can avoid allowing Bob to get in on big fights, you better believe he'll take the opportunity. When you hear talk like oh, "Let Spence/Crawford marinate a little bit." ...they ain't tell you the perfect marination time will take place once Bud is out of his deal with top rank. That's why they were always throwing little jabs like, "he's across the street." "he's gotta to call Bob." "get your business in order." The marination (and contract) is almost complete.
