Is there a media bias against Al Haymon fighters?

[Discipline]

The others try, but HBO is more willing to put their footdown. To be fair, HBO put their footdown to Williams. Paul Williams is a great guy who fights tough competition, but what I think is missing from this article is that Williams tried to fight scrubs before a rematch with Martinez. HBO put their footdown to Haymon finally.

I think there is more of a bias against HBO than Haymon because the media likes to nitpick everything they do compared to Haymon getting flack for what he actually does like giving Berto big paydays (which goes under HBO, but I'm talking more about their schedule flack).

Cintron wasn't a scrub, he fought to a draw against Martinez

Talking about after Cintron. He wanted to go back to 147 for whatever reason and try and fight there. There were no opponents and HBO put their foot down to force a rematch.

That fight was no draw by the way

Lol, not in any way.

OK you got me, Martinez did blatantly win that ... but tell me at the time, who else was there for Williams to fight?

He tried for Pavlik..

That obviously fell through ...

and

We got Martinez vs Williams 2 in the end, with the better fighter winning...

Are you trying for World's Dumbest Post today?

The only thing I disagree with the writer is the part with HBO, Haymon uses his influence to get his fighters better pay than others which that's what every manager or promoter in boxing does but it seems HBO doesn't really put their foot down on that situation, they could do that to Arum because he blatantly milked them and made them look ****** for years but now they seem to have got themselves in with GBP and Haymon's power at the top.

I don't remember a real big negative media backlash when it came to Forrest or Tarver. Taylor got some but that was AFTER he fought back to back Jr Middleweights and didn't really look impressive in said bouts. But, Paul kind of exxagerrated on the extreme negative backlash that those fighters got.

I know Steve Kim really rips Haymon and his fighters. But, he has always said that P-Will was the exception.

The media never really criticize Arreola except if you mean that they talked about his weight.

Bika rarely got criticized as well. Maybe, cuz' he's nothing but a fringe contender.

The only real 2 that got negative backlash maybe more than what they deserved was Floyd and Berto. That is it. But, it was easy to do so cuz' of how they go about their stuff.
