Comments Thread For: What is Al Haymon Planning?

[R_Walken]

i know my source. he is law enforcement. he cant be touched. at least not right now.

nobody just comes into boxing like that wields that kind of influence without being connected.

just remember the italian mafia used to have a stranglehold in boxing for awhile. there's a reason why they call boxing the most corrupt sport in the world. mafia is still there. its just a different color now.

that's all im gonna say on this matter.

you guys do with the info as you will. i feel unseasy even talking about this but i feel that people should know about this guy.

Your a clown, not just in this thread but overall

Well written article. Haymon can't do much at low risk without HBO.

Sounds like he's trying to make a big buck **** and disappear completely.

Tase is functionally illiterate. He has terrible critical thinking. Take a look at some of the moronic threads he's started. There is no or less trustworthy on BScene than Tase.

Not to mention Haymon is a Harvard graduate. Tase stating that Haymon uses "drug money" should be called a lot of things...but accurate is not one.

Do you mind me asking on how Haymon possibly shifting money around made it into the article when there wasn't a source, even anonymously, saying that in the piece? It's just Hauser speculating and that's a pretty big speculation.

You can PM me it too if you'd rather.

warp, do you wanna fcuk off? this thread isn't about you, your journalistic ambitions or your attempts to be an editor from afar.

It's about delivering to the boxing fans an exposition on Haymon's business practices. It sheds light on these practices and how he operates. It's fairly clear what he's up to, and it's also clear imo that the brighter the light shone upon him the less desirable he becomes to those interested in operating transparently. That's why he's at pains to avoid exposure.

For example, if Waddell & Reed are a rumoured potential investor, I'm sure those high up would be more than interested in what kind of character they'd be involving themselves with and due diligence will lead them to articles such as this. The net is closing on Haymon, lawsuits are coming in.

Beyond that, while Haymon's stable has grown, boxing doesn't need those guys, there are enough HBO stars and international fighters coming through that no one will bother with the likes of old Stevenson, old Dawson and old Mayweather particularly if he continues to avoid the best opposition with PPV numbers falling. Showtime will soon tire of getting fleeced for mismatches.

The European knockout artists coming through are far more exciting and they're coming in numbers with no links to Haymon. Your Kovalevs, Lomachenkos, Golovkins, that's the future not Showtime Shawn.

The same thing he plans every night, Pinky. To take over the world.

Where is the mafia in all this? Did they suddenly give up their interests?

The Don King of his generation, but smarter...

Haymon ain't doing **** but getting his ducks in a row for ****** fest 2017

Always a general trend with Hauser's boxing articles the past few years. They always seem to be about Mayweather, Showtime, Haymon and Golden Boy. Never any other party within boxing. I wonder why. And this guy is supposedly a respected writer, more like, a respected paid for writer.
