Comments Thread For: Kathy Duva outlines Al Haymon's deal with NBC Sports

[clmags12]

Is Haymon a promoter now?

What's interesting is how he is dealing with 2 rival networks. Both networks will demand the best fights from his fighters. What if CBS/sho ban Haymon, would that affect Floyd?

I work in advertising and marketing and I can guarantee you it won't.

How the hell do you know that? NBC is not like the fans on this forum, I serious doubt they will allow something on their network just for the Money and then hope and try to make it FAIL.

This is what happens when you deal with time buys. They have no money invested so they won't want to spend money advertising it.

But i'm sure that Haymon got a super duper deal because he is a genius. If he was such a shrewd businessman he would have convinced NBC or CBS to pay for his shows.

Someone mentioned that he does probably have investors and he is playing with their money, that's the only way all of this makes sense.

Hopefully we get some good fights on network tv before the whole thing fails because it won't make money.

NBC will already have made its money, they have nothing to lose and will be happy. It's Haymon and any investors he might have that need to worry about turning a profit.

That's what Thomas Hauser wrote a few months ago...that sources were telling him that after a year of 24 NBC events that he would want to transition into a subscription service.

So a year of NBC shows to get people hooked, then he starts up his own BoxNation channel?

If that's true, then next year might be a good year for boxing.

So when is this supposed to happen? Starting from January or...?
