      I would say people like Arum is hurting boxing a lot more...especially when your keeping the Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight from happening because you don't want that Pacquiao Money train to get Derailed

      As long as the Pay is good for his fighters, I don't hear much about "Al Haymon keeping a fight from happening"

        Canelo is whack. I don't get the hype about him. Everybody is high on him cuz' of his age. So they see him improving a lot. And, he might become a great fighter. I just don't see it.

        He's not a prospect I'm looking at...Neither is Broner. I do like Russell though, Garcia as well. Those 2 will be the class of the division in a couple years. I think they're in a collision course.

          Dude, Al Haymons best fighter brings a lot of money to HBO just like Bob Arums best fighter does. So of course these promoters are going to have a cozy relationship with HBO, its all about money. Both Broner and Russell put on good performances tonight, although against nobodies, you can't hate on them.

              Maidana vs Morales. Was a mismatch on paper though.

                What I don't get is how HBO can put the money behind a guy like Berto who has no fans, fights bums etc.......but state they won't put on a Klitschko fight unless it's against Haye?

                    LMAO, D

                    At least Berto had the decency to look a little embarrassed after that. And not get some gopher to comb him (as Broner did even after the PDL fight!)

                    Oh, it's gonna be so sweet seeing Broner eventually fall. He's gonna come across his Ortiz at some point, and it's gonna be hilarious.

                      I couldn't agree more. When I look at all the tough fights and the numerous contenders Chavez had to beat to get his shot, it makes me sick that someone like Broner can just get handed one.
