Comments Thread For: Guerrero: Al Haymon Deal Best Career Move Right Now

[-Kev-]

This is a shocker to me, I thought RG was gonna leave GBP and go to TR.

Haymon "advising" everybody. I think this is good for boxing.

Yes, GBP is his promoter, Al Haymon is an adviser/manager he does not promote.

Haymon is actually kind of a promoter. he doesn't say he is because he'd be in violation of the Ali Act but in reality he is. he just uses established promotions as fronts to hide behind

You guys sound like a bunch of cheerleaders. Did you ever think he might be getting protected (he being Thurman). Thurman can be beat. He still has a lot of kinks to iron out. What's going to happen when somebody takes his punch?

True, I defended Thurman so much on here when he was coming up, but now he's ridiculously overrated by these mouthy bi+ches that want to talk **** but couldn't articulate WHY they think he's so good. I like him a lot but his ring IQ is weak and he hasn't grown past that the way he should.

Wow. Don't know why they're all signing up with Al Hymen. He's no longer with HBO. Showtime can't afford Berto-type deals. Showtime subscribers are cancelling their subscriptions. Fights are getting rarer and rarer.

What are you talking about?
HBO hasn't been any better. 3 months into the year their biggest event has been Chavez Jr. against Vera.

The whole point of Haymon originally was to get extra special treatment above the rest of the plebs. If everyone is with him now, isn't that going to lower the quality of his service for everyone? Haymon called in favors for his select you, but how can he do that for so many people?

Exactly. He cannot treat anyone special when he is working for both sides. No matter how the negotiations pan out, the B-side fighter will still get B side treatment if they are facing another Haymon fighter.

Guerrero already turned down an offer to fight Thurman, so who's being protected? As a matter of fact Guerrero turned down numerous offers to fight some of the top fighters in GBP stable, he turned down all the fights then tried to sue GBP to get out of his contract. This was revealed in a Boxing scene article during the attempted lawsuit, you should be able to find it in the archives.

Your right Robert was going through his drama with GBP and turned down numerous offers. Not just Thurman. So where do people get off saying he's scared.
