Kownacki is another PBC HW Haymon ruined

Were the rumours that Kownacki turned down a two-fight deal with Matchroom to fight Chisora (and then presumably Wardley or Basic) worth seven figures ever substantiated? I can't remember hearing much concrete about it. In hindsight of course, based on the fact he probably made less than half a million to fight Demirezen, that looks like a terrible financial decision.

How dare you question the man who squandered nearly a billion dollars of Waddell and Reed?

Yeah fat boy and Beyonce probably kicking themselves.

Now Kownacki must keep on fighting, he has no other choice, will he drive a cab or work as a doorman?

Don't you know about PBC's Mission Statement?

"Here at PBC we strive to further and enrich the careers of black fighters. Hispanic/Latino fighters have some value until we can sacrifice them to a bigger Black fighter to make them seem inferior. White fighters on the other hand have no value."

First it was Wilder. Ducked Joshua for years (which he finally officially admitted last year) then declined the 100 million dollar offer to fight a must win fight vs fat, coked up Fury.

The rest is history. As is Wilder.

Now Kownacki. Also declined the Joshua fight for the biggest purse of his life, fought a couple bums, then took the Helenius fight, which much as the Fury fight was for Wilder, was a sure thing. Got beaten twice.

Then got an offer to fight Chisora for 1.5 million. Declined to fight this guy.

Now look at him.

Thank You Al Haymon, I guess.

Well....in theory you may be right. But I guess Haney showed if you want a fight you can actually get it. So in reality...Kownacki declined the fights. That's on him. And Wilder declined the Joshua fight...that's on him. Haymon is an "advisor". Plenty of people have offered me advice in my life...some good some bad. They road I took was based on wether I accepted that advice or not...so I can't blame anyone else for those choices.

Exactly. If anything I'm glad Kownacki didn't take those fights. Even old Del Boy was probably too much for him. As for Kownacki's money, I could care less what he has lol. No reason why any of us should.

Haney is not with Haymon.

Which is my point.

Haymon fighters can't decide for themselves.

If their advisor doesn't like a fight, they won't get the fight, even if they can make more money from it than they would from any fight Haymon can offer them.

The best example of this is Wilder and the 100 million offer.

Boxing politricks all round is a joke. PBC do seem the worst, but all these promotors need to wake up. They are killing boxing and ruining careers with their desperation to control everything.

Ellerbe said the same thing about Hearn.
