Seat arrangements, fight credentials these are some simple tasks for a CEO the chief executive officer thats below his level of responsibility. I guess it's not the same tu run a fake promotional company than a real one. It was their first rodeo they should cut him some slack for loyalty. The CEO is suposed to be the lead executive not a personal assistant.
Al has all the talent in 140/147. Triple G and krusher. Come on you know that there are a lot of fighters hiding under Espinoza and Al's skirt. Quillin, Stevenson ect. Espinoza is either really stupid or is on Al's payroll. HBO won't buy his fights, Floyd under contract. Al has nowhere else to go. If Schaeffer was so good why is ODH asking for 50 mill in arbitration, for mismanagement. One thing is a good fight (Garcia vs Matysse) another is a showcase fight gone wrong( Matysse vs Molina ) this is Al's modus operandi (Andre Berto)
pacquiao sold 48 thousand PPV's in china. not 48 mil.48 thousand.. the other two thirds that made it 300 thousand came the the united startes. pacquiao brings no excitement and he can't sell. his name is like "oh well". no mayweather's name is mention and it gets everybodies attention.
one third or 300 is 100. You are truly a Floyd Fan
Can you imagine if he wins, and quits his day job in the post fight interview, telling his boss to deliver his own pizzas. Espinoza was DOH lawyer before being the Showtime executive, this guy was in GBP's payroll. He is a lawyer turned tv executive, people talks like he was a career tv executive, when the truth is he is a lawyer with unethical dealings with former clients.
The contract template was part of the Duva lawsuit, the contract it's out there. in my opinion is a slave contract, all these boxers want to be like Floyd and PPV atractions are only a few per generation. Name one PPV star developed by GBP, Al Haymon or Mayweather promotions. I'm exited because now Al Haymon needs ratings and that means good fights. He has the talent to at it by itself. He should do a tournament, with his 140/147 talent random bracket single elimination.
The only fans that care about numbers are the casuals, if you are a fanboy of any fighter you,my friend are a casual. Fakeweather promotions is the new wwe. Fans don't care about numbers fans just want to see the best fights. Mayweather's money will never fill that void inside you it will never bring you happiness, i hope we stop worshipping money.
The fight was a mismatch, broner is good, but he is fighting average competition. I want to see him in the ring with Gamboa/Marquez/Rios. Can you imagine if Floyd fought Escobedo? Al Haymon and his mismatches. I hope Broner is not the new Berto. Al Haymon is destroying the sport, because now every promoter wants to do the same lame fights until they are a ppv attraction. I wish i could go back in time when Ali or Duran/Leonard/Hagler/Hearns that was boxing now is just a bunch of punks with no word. HBO Haymon Boxing Organization those fights were misatches I have seen better fights in espn.
Floyd is ppv king, he could sell any date in any city, but he is also an insecure egomaniac who can't handle rejection or things not going his way. Arum is a smart old devil, he knows how emotional unstable and immature Floyd is, and is using this to force Floyd's hand. Arum knows that Foyd's ego can't take being move of the date he wants and this will kill the fight. This is free market, put your product out there and people decides what to consume. This is a free country no nationality owns dates. This is about marketing look at the differences in the two Maidana undercards the first one was the most expensive undercard ever, the second one was was full of mismatches with Mexican fighters. Everyone praises Al Haymon like this genius, but I feel like he still learning the game. Comiting rookie mistakes.Don't forget that the southwest was part of Mexico that's why the name of the city and state are in Spanish Las Vegas Nevada. The cultural conection is there Mexican fans are keeping boxing alive, you have to get that market even if Floyd pulls another Guerrero, Maidana they need a LSC vs Abner Mares type of fight in the under card. Anyone remember whe Canelo told Floyd I will be in your under card if you face me in September, Floyd said no, Canelo fought Trout in San Antonio and mayweather ve Guerrero flopped. Then Floyd fought Canelo in September anyway. Canelo wants to be like JCC like DLH without paying his dues. Is like Khan who wants to be Mayweather so bad is like an obsession.
Khan is his biggest fan. Titles don't mean much these days. Algiery is bad fight. Who made Berto and Broner Maywheater's gate keepers? Because Soto-Karas beat Bronner and he didn't fight Floyd. A lot of contenders looking for a shot without facing each other. They should have a tournament and the winner gets Floyd. I'm tired of these Al Haymon's fighters calling out Top Rank's fighters, it's all smoke and mirrors
Oscar has the Latinos in his pocket. Latinos especially Mexicans are keeping the sport alive. How many years until many and Floyd are done with boxing? Who's taking over? Al has a advisory contract with how many fighters? Are they going to fight each other every month? TNT is a shell company, Al Haymon has no promoter's license. After Floyd they loose their power, at first it was Berto then Bronner, now is Porter l. How until there's a successor for Floyd even Pac has only a couple years left. There isn't generational change of command. Like we had when Oscar and floyd, fought. After floyd they are left with a lot of overhyped overpaid boxers. This is boxing most expensive card ever, Do you think it will be the most successful ever? Investment/rewards. This is bad business, they make money with Floyd but they loose money with this other fighters. There is only one mega fight out there and we will never see it. We will have to keep watching who ever beats Berto and Broner, like they are the gate keepers of a mega fight. Top rank is no better. We are getting the same fights over and over. Al is reluctant to make his fighters face each other. Latinos hate Floyd and love Oscar, Espinosa is a tool. Do you think latinos willed with Shaffer or Oscar?
What women wouldn't want a baby with a professional boxer who is a convicted wife beater?
How do you guys think Floyd hits his moment does he go toe to toe, jab to the body and run, pop shots and run or do you guys think he sucker peaches them like Ortiz. It must be hard watching in your home's security tapes your hired friends and security running a train on your fiance. Wednesday 15k donation for breast cancer research, Thursday cyberbully your ex. Because you can't get over her. Men it's getting hot in here
When Ken Hershman was running showtime sports we were getting good match ups vasquez vs marquez for example, meanwhile at HBO Ross Greenburg was giving us the Al Haymon treatment showcase fights with overpaid hype jobs. After Greenburg got fired, HBO hired Ken Hershman to run HBO sports. Espinoza is a GBP"s tool just like Greenburg was. Now shotime is getting the Al Haymon treatment mismatches in half empty venues with overpaid hype jobs. So you have Matysse and Keith in the same card But instead of facing each other we have these two mismatches, Molina was supposed to be out of there by the 3rd round. This was supposed to be in sports center's highlights. The Matysse fight brought morse questions than answers. Al Haymon is reluctant to let his fighters face each others. After Floyd retires GBP will be in trouble.
Mayweather vs guerrero 2
If...
this is the guerrero mistake all over again.
With a more expensive undercard.
Someone dropped the ball, mayweather and al haymon are smart, May usually fights in Mexicans holidays with mexicans and they put a Puertorican in the undercard. Broner's fans are mayweather's fans he brings nothing to the table. If this is the most expensive boxing card ever, the super bowl of boxing, will be an economic failure. Boxing is becoming more like wwe.
I don't get why African Americans take everything so personal. People trash de la Hoya all the time and I never seen a Mexican or mexican American get defensive. If someone said something against TMT the feel some type of way, like he is MLK or something. I don't get it. If the fight ever gets made, I got mayweather by UD. CBS wants the fight that's all that matters. Bob is smart he bypassed Espinoza, Al Haymon and Showtime going straight to CBS. Cotto Canelo put more pressure on TMT they can't get away with a Maidana or Guerrero type of fighter. Calling cotta gives Cotto more leverage against Canelo, Canelo needs Cotto more than Cotto Canelo, Cotto's people be like, these are the terms or we fighting Mayweather. Im sure that Cotto will make more being the A side against Canelo than the B side against Floyd, that minimum of 32 millions makes it hard and Cotto's number are way down. Someone please explain to me why should a British of Pakistani descent or a Filipino must fight an African American on May 2.
Salka got AKO (Amir Khan Out). I hope the Kid is fine. to take an unranked 135 and make him fight at welterweight (over 140) against the lineal champ. I was a huge Garcia fan he was the underdog vs Morales, Amir khan and Matysse. Let's see who he faces next.
The article says that the will buy air time, 20 mill worth of it. It doesn't say that there's a 20 mill budget. This is open tv. Premium tv is subscription base and don't sell advertising. Open tv is more concerned about ratings and he more ratings the more advertising cost. Like a super bowl commercial will be more expensive than a 11 o'clock news spot. Now there's overhead sponsors venues ticket sales marketing advertising and risk. Before GBP was doing the leg work and taking the risk. I don't think they can get away with the Berto vs TBA any more.
People talks like Espinoza is this great tv exec. This guy was OLD and GBP's lawyer before he got that job. Richard and Oscar gave him that job, then they started moving their fighters to Showtime. Everyone know that no other promoters gets dates in Showtime. The only way that a non GBP fighter gets a dates is because they are the mandatory. I rather watch canelo vs clotted that Garcia vs salka.
I want to see a rematch. the round they fought was good
Arce pushed Roja's head down, after he missed a jab. It was the dirtiest combo ever nuts, headbutt, kidney and ear. I think it was't intentional because Arce leaned on him as he was going to the body.
Guerrero and Maidana will be matched up carefully, because Floyd's reputation is on the line. If they get KO Floyd's credibility takes a hit. I would love to see any of them face Bradley a tough counter-puncher.
