Comments Thread For: Fulton: Al Haymon Gave Me The Blessing To Take Inoue Fight; I Need Some Excitement

[Uncle SneakyTouch]

I thought Haymon fighters fought only in house???isn’t that what all the geeks say?

Lmfao look at you patting yourself on the back. Fulton would have to be ****** not to take it. Easily a career high payday hrs never gonna get again. Moron

Fulton is probably responsible with his money. He doesn't smoke crack like Ricky Hatton, Kell Brook or Oscar.

No no no, he probably smokes crack like sugar ray leonard, lawrence taylor, and clarence thomas.

Bwahaha you silly donut. If you were a boxing adviser wouldn’t you want your fighter to give you their approval before taking on a great fighter that can potentially take his 0 in his home country? C’mon man, think about this crap before you type.

First, permission and approval are different things.

Second, the question was not about the fighter giving the advisor approval. The question was why the fighter needs the advisor's permission.

[Monty Fisto]

Yeah erm he is aligned with Haymon so not sure why this is a scandalous revelation

Managers have to be licensed. Promoters have to be licensed. Haymon circumvents both by saying he is an advisor. An advisor gives advice. They say, I think you should do x or y. But they cannot say you must do x or y, because you answer to me. Which is to say, you do not need permission from an advisor to do something. You can just choose to listen to their advice or not.

This makes it sound very clearly like Haymon is more manager than advisor. Yet he has no license to do so.

Good fight for sure but Fulton said what the majority of us have assumed for years.....Haymon gives the "yes" or "no". The protected boys club keeps gettin exposed, ie Spence and Davis and others in his stable who are given fights once, MAYBE twice a year. Seems pretty obvious that besides likin ********, g@y@ss Al likes to tell his boys what to do, when to do it and how to do it....sounds like hes a voyeur too.

Shout out for all the great US contenders who went overseas to claim their first belt - Hagler, Crawford, Spence

but extra props for Fulton who is ALREADY a champion 2 belt holder and going overseas.

and shame on US promoters for not adequately promoting lower weight fighters so they can make the money they should in the US

[Griever0730]

Fulton is brave for going to Japan for this fight. Not like he had a choice bc the money is over there anyway, but he accepted and deserves credit for willing to test himself against one of the most dangerous fighters on the planet in enemy territory. This should be a very entertaining, high-level chess match between two elite fighters. Can't wait for this one.

[James Hunt]

Aw, how cute. Almighty himself gave him "the blessing".
All praise Almighty!

[Bronx23]

Crazy you gotta get your “advisors” blessing to do anything. You should be free to do what you want. His job is to advise you, not give you permission.

Stephen Fulton Jr. embraced a rematch with Brandon Figueroa late last year because he wanted to silence skeptics who've questioned his victory in their 122-pound title unification fight.

How powerful is Al Haymon to his guys? How does one need the “blessings” of a promoter? It’s insane.
When Amir Khan signed with Haymon, he was reminded to thank him after a fight.
Crazy shït
