Comments Thread For: Will Haymon's Gigantic Gamble On Boxing's Biggest U.S. Star Pay Off With Canelo's Return To PBC?

[P to the J]

What was the point of this post? What illicited this response? What made you click on this article? And how you’ll you recommend I adjust my mindset to be more acceptable in your eyes? How should those living in America see boxing in your opinion?

No, you keep your opinion, you and every American have rights to them. I just don’t agree with this one.

The point? You normally hate on Hearn and DAZN, and historically, you and others have (rightfully, in y opinion) declared a dislike of ‘fanboys’ of promoters. Ostensibly, this is for the same reason outlined in my above comment; namely, that their interests often diverge from those of fans.

Now, I could’ve misinterpreted your stance, but to me, extolling Haymon and Espinoza is a contradiction of this ethos.

It’s only a contradiction if I were a robot. Im not, I’m a very proud American who wasn’t born an American, chose to be one, served and fought for it. I don’t care to see it disrespected. I could regale you with all the reasons I find Hearn a deplorable individual but you really know all that don’t you especially if you have kept up with my posts which it appears you have. And that answers the question doesn’t it….you responded because you perceive me as having a (real) dislike of young Edward and expect me to have the same for two guys who oddly enough have not insulted and feuded with British fighters, attempted to drive British companies out of business, and on and on. Haymon and Espinosa are Americans, and very successful Americans from historically *************** groups. As a white ***ish man of British birth, I find their stories particular American….it makes me proud to see them doing well. G-d bless America.

All he is saying is that you don't have to sing from your roof top that PPV is here to stay. In England we watch the same fights that you do but for a third of the price. You dont hear me endorsing them. Those men are just doing their jobs. If you believe their avowed goal is not to maximise profits at our expense then you need more than your mindset being tweaked

Who cares.. Canelo won’t take on the real challenges like Benavidez

Are you saying that Canelo does not face real challenges and Benavidez does? That makes sense only if you think Canelo is so much better than anyone else that no one is a real challenge to him and the stiffs that Benavidez has fought are really hall of fame caliber fighters. Haters should not post trivial babble that is false on its face. Try creating factual posts that display wit and charm. People are more apt to believe you then...a word or two about boxing itself will also help to convince people.

Haymon saving boxing with $80 mismatches.

Noel, you’re a seemingly likeable fellow….and I’ll just leave it at that.

Good read. The future of Canelo is definitely along side Haymon with a shocking-if-needed Plant rematch or Charlo and Benavidez bouts. Those are all his most marketable fights unless Golovkin 3 can finally happen.

I see no interest in a Bivol fight. Artur Beterbiev would be intriguing but I can’t see Canelo taking that one nor should he be expected to.

Yes, it seems that way but I suppose it will be down to what canelo wants to do.
175 looks a dead end after Bivol as Arum isn't going to meet canelos guarantee.
I suppose Golovkin might go to 168 for a retirement payday if he beats Murata, as he doesn't want to fight Charlo or Andrade.

[rickJen]

Who else is there for him next other than Charlo?
This is how it is in boxing nowadays.
Fight once a year vs bums and just wait for huge paydays.

Congratulations to Haymon and Espinosa, we as American boxing fans are lucky to have these two men pushing boxing in the USA

Just give them their $80 and can the cornball patriotism.

Its like they still want Haymon to fail even if its doing great business with the face of boxing clenelo

F.uck Al Hymen. I hope this does fail, and he loses money. I'm not paying for this fight Canelo. I hope he does lose money from this, UFC is going to massacre this fight. Canelo will be back at DAZN in no time.
