    Vernon Forrest made Al Haymon.





    Who are the top 3 guys you speak of?





    Have fun Mayweather promotions sponsoring Tecate/Corona on Martin Luther King fight weekend.
    He can fight on any date he chooses, he knows you idiots are going to tune in to see him before you tune in to see anybody else, period. You think Floyd's gonna stop fighting? Floyd could fight you and it would sell more than any other fighter in the sport. It sucks for the sport but you idiots in here celebrating like "this is the end of Floyd! we finally got him yay!!" when in reality, the muthafucka still wins because he's the biggest star in the sport, and fighters are going to want to fight him.

If he's this cancer to the sport, don't ever watch him fight again, don't ever order a PPV of his, don't ever watch a youtube video of him, change your avi and stop commenting in threads about him, he's a cancer to the sport right? Stop keeping him alive.
        I can assure you I wont be buying BullSH!% Haymon fights. Im writing Harry Reid, we need to nationally regulate the sport.

          "How is Floyd going to do this?" "They have no license!" "They can't start a company!" Mufuckas can't even wait 24 hours to get the dick out they mouth. I just want to know what all the celebrating is about.

            Didn't say before boxing. I said barely known before Mayweather. Stephen Espinoza was a player ten years ago and barely anyone knew him then.

              Ok, obviously you are going to think Haymon is good for boxing and is a smart guy no matter. But now 2 different companies (the two biggest in boxing) and HBO have told him to basically go **** himself makes me think he is not very long term focues which would make him a terrible promoter. So again, he's never actually promoted, never actually gotten any sponsors, never actually negotiated with Showtime or HBO (Golden Boy did.) That doesn't mean he can't do these things as you say, but it isn't going to happen in time for a Mayweather fight, of which he has an actual obligation for on Showtime.

              Look I'm not saying he can't make a promotion company, but I don't think he will. If it's Mayweather promotions they will never get a sponsor, ever. Floyd marketed himself as the bad guy, as "uban" as much as I hate that p.c. **** but it gets people to hate him. I live in Vegas, but most people (filipino's aside lol) think Mayweather is a cool dood. He lives here, but he's actually a really cool guy in public he is likeable and tips like a beast from what I hear. So until I started reading Yahoo comments and casuals at parties or in public... people really think he is a giant piece of ****. It's easy to get a sponsor for Tebow he doesn't burn $100 bills, flaunt his cash and beat his wife... that tends to turn them away. They can do it, but I don't see it happening.
              The thing is Haymon will keep his same adviser role most likely, he will just set things up get some investors involved. He would be instrumental in setting up that firm and would provide most of the talent. Schaefer would be the one running things, working with Haymon on how his guys got moved and matched

              Haymon is the same as any of the big guys in boxing he is there to make money in some way.


              As for Floyd he is the star, he is still a big star he doesn't have much time left in the sport which is less than ideal when starting a fresh new firm but he still has 3 fights for sure left, so that is something they can work with and gives them a time cushion.

                Cong****, so we can count on you to stop keeping Floyd relevant in the sport?

                  I don't tune for him doe. Floyd is a risk to be spending $80+ bucks for. He feeds on other people's fan base. That's why he fights on Mexican holiday weekends?

                  Yes he doesn't have much time to keep fighting, his numbers are going to keep dropping. The casual fans are getting more sick as time passes with the shit he pulls.

                      Floyd can fight when he wants... but only as long as it is 3 more times in 2 years because his daddies at Showtime say he has to. Also... have you been seeing his PPV buys aside from Canelo lately? Ortiz bombed, Guerrero bombed, Maidana got Schaefer ****ing fired lmao.... who is tuning in for this **** again?
