Yes, Haymon runs pbc. We live in a hyper racial era. Long gone are the days of Don king running boxing. These newer (self radicalised on the net and manipulated by politicians who use race as a political tool) generations have a harder time with a black American man being in charge of American boxing. DLH isn’t a threat to that ideology, neither is Arum, nor is Hearn. But under yt supremacy and others who want to endear themselves to it even though they arnt yt, Haymon is. But something tells me you know this old boy

When it comes to the byzantine machinations and soap opera drama among the promotional companies, do you really see race as an issue? I don't follow GB vs Matchroom vs PBC. I'm only really interested in the fights and sometimes the fighters themselves as personalities. But I can see the topic is of very real interest to some of you guys, and that's cool, to each his own. But is race really an issue affecting the actual fights?
Not trying to be argumentative or make any point with my question. Like I said, I don't pay attention to rivalries among the promotions. How is race a part of all this?

Supposedly Goldenboy says Beltran is pulling his typical snake move and that they have a valid contract that they will enforce

Hmm, interesting.

Hmm, interesting.

Notice Top Rank announced a co-promotional deal with Nakatani today, and nothing was announced about signing Mungia..

Oscar says Mungia is still signed to Goldenboy, that he is simply being approved to take a fight on ESPN.
