Shouldn't we be thanking Al Haymon for the card this weekend?

    saturdays card was pretty good, the main event was **** but the two fights before that were decent matchups and even the main event featured a world class fighter even if it was kind of an exhibition fight.

    nobody said **** when kovalev fought capparello, a guy whos best win is allan green. a lot of hypocrisy on this site.



    edit: one of the main reasons boxing fell off is the lack of talent in the HW division, a direct result of potential fighters turning to other sports like basketball and american football. while its less obvious in other divisions it shows there as well. it makes sense, more money, less risk and you can get an education out of it.

    so if a guy like haymon and others like him can increase the amount of money fighters are making that will attract more athletes back to this great sport. something that will do boxing good.

    not to mention the fact that as a fan of the sport who has seen two of his idols (ali and mcclellan) suffer serious brain damage in the ring im simply happy fighters are getting what they deserve as far as financial compensation. if haymon was around in the 90's perhaps mcclellan wouldnt be broke in addition to being blind, 90% deaf and unable to walk.

    lay off dunn, you are the ones who are wrong. more money for the fighters is a good thing. naturally we all want to see great fights too, but nobody said they didnt. you clowns just pretend people do because you have no arguments to support your jealousy based anger over fighters getting the money they deserve.

      How do you think he felt about Rios earning 4 milly against Pac? Excited or no?

          That one definitely stung to find out some manager not even ranked in the top ten management lists out performed Al.

            You're full of crap. Caparello was actually in Kovalevs division..... a top 15 fighter in the division. On top of that, Kovalev didn't get paid $600,000 to fight a guy ranked #77 in the division two divisions below the one hes fighting in.

            Yeah..... you're not biased at all!



            You're really gonna sit here and say you had no problem with the Garcia-Salka card and then complain about Kovalev taking a stay-busy fight for peanuts, against a top 15 fighter...... when he was also the best available opponent? (a fight that didn't even headline the card)


            Wow, some people are crazy as hell on here.

                Reading all of Big Dunn’s posts defending a manager (Al Haymon), I truly believe he is Haymon’s secret lover.

                Is Big Dunn a ******?

                      My problem is that the Kovalev fight did not hurt the sport in any way. Danny Garcia getting paid 600k to fight a sparring partner does.
