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

[al-Xander]

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.

Schaefer/Haymon took all their fighters to Showtime. What tf do you expect? Fighters which HBO helped build up. So where are they? Guerrero, Matthysse, Berto, Khan and many others are on a long layoff. Are you a Showtime subscriber? How can you not notice this?

Espinoza needs to be fired. He sold his soul to the greedy Mayweather and his clowns, Schaefer and Haymon.

"They have a guy [Stephen Espinoza] in charge of Showtime Sports, he signed Mayweather; if you're a subscriber for Showtime, what the hell difference does it mean to you? Mayweather isn't on Showtime, he's on pay-per-view. If you have a subscription, you can't see a Mayweather fight on Showtime. It's ridiculous." - BA

Showtime sports is the hottest item in boxing! Hbo played tough with gbp, refused to show gbp fights on hbo. And as a result hbo no longer has a strangle hold on boxing. Showtime has caught up to hbo and imo will surpass them in very little time. Very ****** of hbo to refuse gbp fights. Gbp has far more fighter than top rank and produce better fights. Al haymon signs new fighters on a rgular bases. But hbo has banned haymon as well. I would not be surprised if hbo gets out of boxing in the future. Fire espinoza????? For what? Making them more money in a far faster time than showtime and cbs thought? Hbo bet on arum and they lost big time.

Showtime has staged the biggest events so far. They set the record for the 2nd higest grossing fight in history with floyd vs canelo. They have the most fighters on roster. While hbo has to settle for the same 6 men at top rank fighting each other. Horrible bet by hbo. I bet they wish they still had greenburg back.

Again, where are these fighters GBP/Haymon took from HBO? Why aren't they fighting? They're basically fighting once a year. Is Showtime broke or what?

Fight thurman now bitcch

You guys are ******.

He turned down the Thurman fight because they were offering him undercard money for that fight. That's why EVERYONE has turned down Thurman, it ain't cause they're scared of him, it's because Sho is only offering undercard money. You don't fight and undefeated knockout machine for cheap.

Too many fighters are signing with Al Haymon,too many. I believe GBP has to start to worried because something is brewing;perhaps Al Haymon will do what he has never done except last yeras. His fighters vs his fighters. Bad news for GBP!!!

I agree with you, I subscribe to both and I'm wondering why these fighters are only fighting maybe twice a year...
This to me is a GBP problem, they need to go back to the negotiations table with HBO. As far as AL Haymon, not to sure if it's bad or not. He's signing everyone up right now. But if he advises fighters to sign or stay with GBP, he's doing his fighters a disservice if you look what's been happening since HBO broke ties.
