Broner to TMT?

[RL_GMA]

mayweather and haymon have power at the network. the only other promoters who can say the same are gbp and top rank. that has a lot to do with it. it turned dirrell. it'll turn more as well im certain.

But Dirrell himself wasn't getting any real push and hasn't fought in years now. Al Haymon isn't going to be exclusive to TMT either as he has other fighters in his pocket who are with other promoters. Based on GBP's track record, one would be foolish to simply jump ship without seeing what TMT has actually done as far as promoting a fighter / fights.

Except that the promoter and the fighter have conflicting interests. The promoter's best interest is to pay the fighter as little as possible, while the fighter wants to be paid as much as possible.


The manager plays an important role in finding that balance between the 2 interests.......

Traditionally speaking yes but GBP has been willingly protecting and overpaying their fighters for a while.

never said anything about jumping. my point is there are gonna be fighters that sign with them. and for legit reasons. they are gonna get network dates, i have no doubt about that.
