Haymon getting desperate for dates

[HeroBando]

Seems normal to buy airtime. What's the fuss about it?

Doesn't seem normal, in boxing or other sports. In advertising, ok. Most sports are depended on network money, boxing in particular where there's 3 ways of covering the expenses: PPV, large gate (very rare in the US nowadays), or network license fee.

Showtime seem content with showing his fights.... Evidently haymon is the one who runs it

Thanks for proving my point dude

did u read the whole article?? or are u gonna continue to be stuck on ****** to fit your agenda? arum didnt want anything to do with the fight. he refused to participate and then gave a weak excuse why and talked about revisiting it later.

The split frees Mayweather to make a potential deal with De La Hoya without Arum as part of the promotion. His involvement would have made making a deal almost impossible: The head of Top Rank has openly feuded with De La Hoya, his former superstar, and their companies rarely do business together as a result.

Arum said he was simply not interested in participating in a De La Hoya-Mayweather fight, but not because of his distaste for De La Hoya.

"I don't want to, because if I did that fight, I would be working for such a small percentage, it's not worth it," he said.

And again, you're just serving me up more ammo. He didn't think it made any sense to pay Floyd 20m, which may have been short sighted, but only in hindsight. As i said, Floyd took like half of that in guarantees.

sigh...there is no ammo to serve up. arum did not want to participate. his percentage was going to be too small??? seriously??? he messed up. he didnt know what he had in front of him, he refused to make the biggest fight in boxing and haymon did. what is there not to understand?? u are making it seem like arum made an offer for that fight. its clear as day he didnt. he made floyd offers for other fights and turned down the one fight he should have made an offer for. stop trying too hard.

Ok whatever. Arum's words tell the whole story, thanks for digging it up. Floyd asked for 20m, Arum said no chance, Floyd took 10m. Fight ended up being much bigger than projected. Arum screwed up, happens to the best of them. He learned his lesson by putting his next star, underdog midget Pac in with DLH

Arum said no chance. Ok and what did he counter with?? 10mil?? What???

Then prove it to be right. Haymon isn't buying any Primetime slots. That is nuts. No Promoter is going to do that.

Maybe for Mayweather vs. Pacquaio -- a huge fight of that magnitude you could argue that.

Bye.

No, you said you can't buy airtime. When in fact, you most definitely can, if you want to buy a god damn hour of airtime on fox on a Saturday they'll be more than happy to sell it to you.

That means you own that time, and you have to sell the advertising space, if that's what's what you choose to do. Heck, you cAn buy the space and leave it empty of it makes you happy. Fox won't give a **** as long as you pay them there asking price.

Now let it go already.

mayweather didnt really become a star until he went with haymon. haymon helped get him over the top, so to speak.

absolute garbage post.

[mikinoki]

lol everyone knows Oscar made him a star.Haymon was just there helping him cherry pick afterwards.
