Good for boxing! Such a significant figure in boxing and also a Golden Boy shareholder - Bernard Hopkins - took his stance and fully supported Oscar in his fighting back with shadow cardinal of boxing politics Al Haymon. This move will have many implications at how the power game between HBO, Golden Boy, Showtime and Al Haymon plays out.Comment

It is August and Showtime is bleeding money. After investing money in the up and coming Salkas and Santanas of the world. Rumor is Espinoza has been looking for loose change under the seats, after the post fight press conferences. Al Haymon's power comes from Floyd, Floyd is tied down to Showtime, HBO won't pay for his showcase fights, He has no where to go. Al has all these fighters, but he is reluctant to make them fight each other, plus Showtime doesn't have the budget or the dates to give us the fights that we want. Espinoza is a tool, either he is incompetent or he is in Al's payroll. Floyd has a guarantee contract he could fight Rob Salka and still make over 30 mill. There is an Al Haymon tax, when one of his fighters fight, they are overpaid. The boxers pay should be relative to the money they bring, not who's his advisor is, it's like a protection racket. The conflict of interest obvious, Adonis interest is the fight with Hopkins, Al's interest is having Hopkins striped of his title. The fans interest is a broker vs Matisse and Garcia vs Peterson fight, Al Haymon's interest is each of them being overpaid to fight nobodys, and he still gets his protection money.one example last may he has Broner and Khan in the same event getting paid over a mill each, to that money they could be fighting each other. The same goes for Matysse and one time a couple of months ago. Why make them fight each other when they get paid good money to fight TBA and Haymon still gets his tax. Enoisy is my second language.Comment
