    I think he means the dates are already reserved for GBP. They're trying to fill those dates with whoever and cut ties with GBP after that.

      Yeah. The Barclays contract is with Golden Boy

        Your 400K+ critics watching theory is nuts. I'd be surprised if the regularly active hardcore internet boxing community is even larger than 10k. Internet boxing activism is ridiculously overrated and doesn't do anything. Most people were just like "Oh, Danny Garcia is fighting. I like Garcia so I'm going to watch."

          This has always beem the Haymon formula. Lowest risk, highest paycheck. It didn't start with Garcia Salka.

              Why don't you list those "Al haymon fighter on GBP card against great comp" fights? I can only think of one of those this year (Canelo-Lara) and his guy was the B-side, his guy was given the opportunity, the other guy was taking all the risk. So yes Haymon was involved in that but no I don't give him the credit for putting that one together, it was all up to Canelo.

                  Because Al Lame-in is a little b1tch just like his cronie followers. Anybody who defends and supports these types of moves is a ******. Straight up. Bad for boxing, should be dealt with execution style in a single file line.

                  That's why.

                    Is because you guys supported Garcia vs Salka. You gave it too much attention, even though it was negative attention, you still gave it too much. You said you weren't gonna watch it, but I bet you did. You gave the fight more hype than a Mayweather-Maidana II and Pacquiao-Algieri have gotten since their announcement. You called for a boycott and didn't follow through with it yourself.

                    Haymon feels like "If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it". He saw the support you guys gave Garcia-Salka through your critique, your threads, your posts, in both social media and boxing forums. I have no proof, but I have a strong feeling the majority of those 800k viewers that saw Garcia-Salka were critics and more Garcia fans probably didn't see it, like me.

                    Go ahead and sarcastically hype up Santa Cruz's next opponent and give the undercard more hype with your ridiculing of it and false boycotting. Haymon is enjoying the fake "backlash" all you fake critics are giving his last two terrible match ups.
                    This is a great post.

                      If it's a winning formula, I don't see Haymon and Espinoza doing anything different.
