Abner Mares is signing with Al Haymon

“Golden Boy will try to get whatever opponent they can for me," Quillin said. "I’m an American champion. A lot of those other guys, they come to our country to fight over here to fight in our homeland

For such an irrelevant fighter it's going to be incredibly satisfying to see Quillin get demolished.

after all oscar did for mares. after all he did...

hope this traitor has a good time with al haymon.

is jhonny gonzalez with al haymon too?

you got to be kidding the guy signs with best manager and now hes a traitor to who exactly? ODLH? Who people say has not been involved with anything business in years? Give me a break the guy who built his career just left there is a reason the fighters respect richard more and thats saying a ton considering hoya used to fight. Its because he made their careers he made the company everything.

Let him sign with Al hopefully Santa Cruz gets a crack at him since he didn't want his get backs against Gonzalez.

Santa Cruz can't fight mares if there both haymon they will be matched with unworthy opponents since haymons job to protect fighters from
Losing

I don't get why you're showing me this. I say Quillin can't fight GGG because of Cold War and you show me a quote with Hershman saying they aren't looking for a July Quillin-GGG fight... Are you just agreeing with me or..?

Either way, here's a quote from Quillin himself saying he can't fight because of Cold War:

“Golden Boy will try to get whatever opponent they can for me," Quillin said. "I’m an American champion. A lot of those other guys, they come to our country to fight over here to fight in our homeland, and I’ve always said I was hoping to fight Sergio Martinez, Gennady Golovkin, all these different guys, but it’s not really my fault, the political thing going on. All I have to do is keeping doing me."

Ono things stopping it was Haymon and Schaeffer. With Schaeffer out, better chance of it happening. The fight never even made it to HBO because Schaeffer tried to get it on Showtime even though he knew it wasn't possible.

Haymon still a problem because he makes raw deals for the company. I know I have a crap fighter, but can you give him millions and return dates?
