Comments Thread For: Schaefer Confirms: Matthysse Now With Al Haymon

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer confirmed an earlier story posted on BoxingScene.com, regrding junior welterweight contender Lucas Matthysse (33-2, 31KOs) signing a deal with influental adviser/manager Al Haymon. Matthysse is facing IBF junior welterweight champion Lamont Peterson (31-1-1,, 16KOs) in a catch-weight bout on May 18th at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. Going in Haymon's direction would certainly assist Matthysse, the WBC's mandatory challenger, in his quest to secure a fight with full WBC champ Danny Garcia, also handled by Haymon. However, Matthysse has a tough task ahead with Peterson.

I doubt it. Haymon doesn't put his marketable fighters up against high risk-low reward type of opponents like Lucas. That's probably why he signed him in the first place, so Danny won't have to fight him. He knows Danny is marketable and apparently he also knows Matthysse murders him.

If you can't beat them join them?

The baddest man at 140 just joined the dark side. Not even Al Haymon could resist.

[ManOnTheMoon]

The main problem I have with this is that Haymon fighters never fight against Top Rank fighters or against other Haymon fighters.

[Bullrider]

Haymon/Schaefer will feed him Morales, Judah, Rees, Malignaggi... the usual route.

[Check_hooks]

He should get bigger paydays now but I think they signed him so they could protect there other fighters like my homie thuggery said
