    Actually, it's basically the same thing in each case. Arum has a bigger pool, and matches his inhouse fighters to maximize his own earnings, obviously. Hamon on the other hand manages (as distinct from promoting) a few fighters, and avoids matching them against one another so that one doesn't get knocked off by the other. This, once again, enables him to maximize earnings.

    It's just business as usual insofar as boxing is concerned. It is also unfortunate that things are run in such ways, and it obviously invites criticism. And insofar as Willie's point is concerned, he's right it is a double standard.
    Good post.

      Why doesnt Shane fight Haymons other fighter: Paul Williams.
      why doesnt Floyd?

        Lmao Andre Berto is a ****** mofo. Shane Mosley still is 10x as popular as you, yet you want 50-50? I honestly dont see much from Andre Berto's career in the future if he keeps this up.

        Mosley is right, the only way Andre Berto deserves 50-50 split is if he beats Miguel Cotto.

          I don't know what makes Cotto the barometer.

          I think Shane is overselling himself. That said, he still deserves the bigger split.

            If they fought tomorrow I'd favor Berto by clear UD...something tells me it would be like Shane fighting a younger version of himself...little less ferocious tho
            People should be taking note of the Pirog/Jacobs, where the guy took 50K picked up a world title and will be securing big paydays later on. We all know that boxing is a business but when you have a shot at finishing off Shane don't over price yourself b/c it always leaves the door open for the Sergio Moras to walk right in and take what could have been yours.

            Now if Mora wins against Mosley he will want nothing to do with Berto b/c he will have options of bigger fights and once again Berto will be calling out Bradley/Alexander lol lol.

              SSm lost to cotto, ducked PW and got humiliated by a "coward" aka pbf.

              so 50/50 with a CHAMPION is a slap in the face, but ur next fight not even being on HBO BAD against sergio ***in mora is fitting?

              ssm is a clown and needs to go away. talking real big after being embarrassed is azzclownish imo.

              hope enjoys fighting on gbp ppv cards from here on out. thats where he belongs.

                Berto will do anything to promote himself huge.Especially in the hip hop industry.Yet he only has a small crowd in florida.The only place thats actually kept him publicity good on the map.





                Hell,berto had Soldier Boy singing on his way to the ring,had Bow wow and chris brown present at his fight.Did i mention he told mtv he wanted to fight jay-z in the ring?




                Then becomes the oh-look-at-me twitter king by blaming Valero's wife for his killings. ?




                The dude is a straight clown.Cotto by 7, Mosley by 6.End of story.
