    Yeah I mentioned this before, probably had to do a lot with Quillin being isolated on Showtime and lack of Middleweights to fight. Who's next for Peter now? Golden Boy has no middleweights and all the big named guys are on HBO. Maybe some UK fighter or Rubio?

      Everything Haymon does is a conflict of interest for the sport of boxing. He has single handedly killed the sport by building his fighters against crap opposition that usually comes up 1 or 2 weight classes. Further, he puts this garbage in prime and valuable television spots. The fringe fan turns on the TV and sees garbage and is lost from the sport.

      A singular commission or league and a singular ranking system and rules with ONE champion per weight class and a computerized ranking system would put an end to all of the Haymon, GBP and Top Rank garbage. This commission would cut the deals with NBC, ESPN, Showtime and HBO and would forecast an annual boxing schedule with these networks. ESPN and NBC would get the fights that vie for ranking between 11-20 and Showtime and HBO would get the fights that pit Top 10 fighters against each other. Managers would be like Agents and would only have influence in negotiating the boxers contract and not negotiating as to when and who they fought.

      Club shows would be the minor leagues and singular promoters would be free to have a stake in the minor leagues.

        Great idea.

        Now you have to convince each employee of the WBA, WBC, WBO, IBF, and each U.S. state commission where boxing is legal to go find a new occupation.

        Good luck.

          OK so don't complain them when he don't let his other fighters fight since people are just going to make up theories when he let his fighters fight each other

          Quillin was just the better fighter, it was a WIN/WIN for Haymon regardless who would have won, who ever wins that is who you Promote More

          by the way Haymon is listed as an "Advisor" to Quillin not Manager, I don't even think a Manager can have his fighters fight each other

            NEVER

            He got tired of footing the bill for Fernando Guerrero and came to the realization that there was no financial upside to him so he gave him to Quillen to better Quillen's career. This fight was never in question. Guerrero was a gift from Haymon to Quillen.

            I bet if you checked, Guerrero paid Haymon back ALOT out of his final check.
            This is good thing that Al Haymon did last night putting two of his fighters agains't each other. This is good for boxing. Their's nothing wrong with cashing out on your fighter if he doesn't bring anything to the table get it together.
