Haymon Boxing (its happening) (coming soon)

[wiz1030]

Knew it was happening, but if the newer reported specifics are true, I'm not very impressed. The 4 NBC shows just isn't enough. I know there's a long term plan, and NBC won't just open the floodgates and give him a whole bunch of dates but they've done a lot just for a little.

Just thinking about how he held his guys out of competitive fights to preserve them for this venture, seems a catch-22. He had the chance to build stars, but held them back. This could've been a situation where he was bringing stars into the operation, but that's not really the case. They are all just potential stars, if that who will need to be developed.



The NBCSN dates will be good, but there's still limited exposure and viewership there. That team on Haymon Boxing better have an excellent strategy for digital and streaming because that's where they'll get their reach.

Anybody notice that the only ppl celebrating this are the fans that are part time business men and don't care about the actual fights???? Just that their favorite fighters are making money.

Well he'll still have Showtime onside as long as Espinoza is there. The reason he was holding back fighters was believed to be because they're still on GBP contracts.

This was all in an article months ago.

Whatever Haymon's doing I hope he does it quickly because it pi$$es me off to see the careers of Matthysse and Thurman wasted.

Why is everyone getting wood over this. The site clearly states they are in boxing MANAGEMENT, not PROMOTIONS.

Mayweather Promotions clearly can't handle big cards and Richard is still under a no compete, so GBP will still be putting on the shows apparently

People are excited because boxing will get it's chance on network tv again, potentially with big names on a Saturday night. Beyond all the bull****, how is that not exciting?

it's not exciting because it'll be a bunch of mismatches as usual. what a poor way to advertise the sport by having haymon mismatches for the world to see.

expect more danny vs salka or santa cruz vs sparring partner type fights.

It's only 4 fights on NETWORK NBC...and we don't know if it will be on at night or afternoon.

NBC did that with Main Events like 10 years ago and scrapped it even though they had some pretty decent fights.

At least he knows his audience:

Complete speculation.
