Comments Thread For: Angulo, Al Haymon Close in on Working Relationship

[BoxingSmarts24]

what kind of relationship are we talking about, we all know al haymon has his crazy fetishes

What kind of relationship do you think? Obviously it is a business/boxing relationship. You are the same guy that said Floyd didn't deserve fighter of the year because he is a boxer and not a brawler.

Whether it be: Inside fighting, throwing a lot of punches like Sante Cruz, Devastating power like Lucas or Ruslan, or a skillful fighter like Floyd. It is ALL fighting regardless of their style.

Pac's diehards are on another level haha.

Ok, you named what you claim GBP doesn't have now make an argument for what Top Rank does have. I see a bunch of rematches. Marquez, and Possibly Cotto and Pac pretty soon are on their way to retirement.

Yes, everything you said about TR I agree with but I do believe there quality is better! By not having as many fighters around the welter weight divisions, TR is forced to put together fights I don't think Arum would do if he had more options! Yes, TR gives us rematches but can you honestly state the last Pac vs Marquez fight wasn't exciting? The Rios fights with Alvarado were exciting! I also believe the Pac vs Bradley2 will be a good fight. I will say the Pac vs Rios was terrible! I felt Golden Boy should have gave us a rematch of Khan vs Maidana. Broner has been match against mismatches until Maidana! Canelo has been fighter mostly 147lb fighters! Can you tell me why Angulo get Canelo instead of Lara?

Everyone believes the main problem is GB vs TR, it is to some extent but the major hurdle to the big fights, is HBO vs Showtime and since Floyd jumped ship to ST and HBO has completely cut ties with GB, this will be the major problem regardless of promoter in the foreseeable future. K2 can work with any promotion company(TR, GB, etc) but with GGG it has to be HBO at this point in time. As he gets bigger, that may change. The smart promoters will do business that way, and stay neutral.

I never said TR had big PPV carriers but let compare over the last two years! All Golden Boy PPV events has only been with Floyd! Yes Canelo has one coming up but we're talking in the past! Top Rank PPV events has been with Manny of course, Bradley vs Marquez, Martinez vs Chavez Jr. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong or missed some! The problem with Golden Boy is most of there top fighters except for Canelo are managed by Al Haymon! It's no secret Al Haymon does not like to put his fighters against each other. Lately, he's had no choice since most of GB fighters work for him.

Danny Garcia and Lucas Matthysee have Haymon as their adviser.

Austin Trout and Erislandy Lara also have Haymon.

If Floyd Mayweather chooses between Amir Khan or Marcos Maidana, all three of them are advised by Haymon as well.

So your theory doesn't hold weight.

Because he lost his last fight, and lost badly. It's the same reason why Pacquaio fought Rios instead of someone better.

Read the entire quote! I said he's had no choice as of late because he advises most of Golden Boy top fighters!
