    Sam Watson works with Al Haymon ! These guys (Al Haymon & Sam Watson) are not boxing guys, they come over from the Music game - concert promoters etc.. These guys know how to negotiate and take care of their fighters! Stop hating and do the research, this is why all of these fighters and even promoters are signing with Haymon, he listens to the fighters and gets them THE best deals, unlike Boxing guys like Arum / King / Goosen / Shaw / Duva etc.. Haymon has fighters that have lost and that have multiple losses, have you heard of any fighters being dropped because of their losses? No, but look at these other promoters and once a fighter gets a loss or a couple they get dropped! this is why the game is at the state it is in, and why fighters pick and choose opponents etc, because if they lose, they lose! so they play it safe and go easy - now watch all of the Floyd haters chime in, but I hope all of the thinkers on this site understand what I am conveying..

      Boxrec is it? If you'd watched the fights you wouldn't even make that comment.

      Still, Fonfara's just possibly a bigger challenge than Bellew - at least he carries a little more power.

        Fonfara looks like Stuart Little.

          You're trying to convince a bunch of "boxing" fans to not care that the best fights and fights they wanna see aren't being made. I get what you are saying. Both arguments are strong. But as and actual sport, the haymons are not good for boxing and doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out.

            Another one goes Stepford^...you ain't a boxer are you? You old enough to remember when GBP was hailed as a revolution in boxing promotions? Yeah..?

            Maybe I'm just a cynical ol' ba$tard, but I'm pretty sure Haymon can't magic money outta his ass. and even if he could, he wouldn't be giving it to Sad Chad. Why do you think he's signing guys like that? If he's doing it outta the goodness of his heart he obviously ain't the managerial genius you believe, but if he's a hardheaded businessman then what's his strategy?

            Give it some thought.

                  Is Fonfara's jacket made out of rubber?

                    Sam Watson has been in boxing for more than 20 years, he is a boxing guy. For how long how you been watching boxing? 2 years? Watson is well known for been involved with Tyson among other fighters since the 90s. Go and learn the facts before you make comments. It makes you look real ******.
