    Yup, hungry fighters will show loyalty to Haymon or don't fight at all. And I thought Arum's round robin of his small band of fighters were bad. Wait till you see Haymon's bunch lol.

      What does that have to do with what you quoted?

      He had the HW champ of the world, yes. He also worked with Roy Jones prior to Jones-Toney, yes. How many people do you need? And this was when he was barely involved in the sport. If your argument is that he wasn't Shelley Finkel, fine. But he was a player then who already had close contacts with Time Warner execs, allowing him to get his clientele (be it music or boxing) favorable contracts on network cable.

          You honestly think that his team hasn't thought this through this wasnt a knee jerk reaction to Richard quitting this has been planned for months if not years In advance.There'll be lots of legitimate opponents for Floyd with out the GB association.

            news flash: there's this thing called a contract which obligates you to a company.

              Um, you said "Al Haymon was a big dog in boxing before Mayweather."

              I responded he wasn't.

              So that's what it has to do with it.

                so, we can assume that GBP and Shaefer/Haymon won't do any deals after **** behaved like a **** by not securing fighters.

                This means that TR and GBP will have to work together.

                so....this leaves Shafer/Haymon fighters to fight other.

                I am assuming Floyd vs Danny is a must now. Whatever the case, Haymon or not, they're going to be isolated unless Richard grows a pair and tries to make fights with the other two.

                      so prepare to see a bunch of rematches.

                      Haymon fighters vs Haymon fighters till the wheels fall off.
