If Al Haymon is so bad.....

[al-Xander]

Fans have become extremely inconsiderate and disrespectful towards fighters to the point in which fans think they OWN FIGHTERS and can tell them how much they should get and how they should fight in the ring.

Dude, you might as well tell that to millions of consumers who buy products, then make negative reviews on many of those products. At the end of the day, you and I benefit from those reviews as well as manufacturers. And dude, these are grown up men you're defending. They expect to be criticized. You sound like you're their father.

That is a AWFUL Comparison and I'm really not defending anybody I'm just expression that I UNDERSTAND why fighters jump to Haymon...FOR THE MONEY! Like I previously posted, these guys are not protected. Promoters don't have pension plans for their fighters and HBO, Showtime are not providing that either. So I'm just saying, I understand 100% if a fighter holds out for the most money possible or what the network to pay them appropriately for a big fight that THE NETWORK will benefit from.

Of course I want to see the best fight the best, and maybe to do that in the future maybe it is wise to try and get all of them under ONE BRAND so in the future when it comes time to do big match ups you won't have to worry about Networks and Promoters not wanting to work with each other.

Not about worrying what the fighters make for me at least, I just understand and respect the fact that these guys MUST make the most money they can make WHILE they're able to make it because boxing is a brutal sport. They don't have a union that will look out for them when they can't box anymore, they don't get a pension for working for a League for a certain amount of years. God forbid if some of these guys end up like Magomed Abdusalamov and could no longer box anymore, many of them and their families would be a in serious trouble financially.

Fans are extremely selfish and they make it all about WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE and sometimes they forget about the fighters and they're needs. You see $1 Million and think OK that is enough for the fighter now go fight, but you gotta understand, out of that $1 Million the Manager gets his cut and the fighter have to pay Trainers and everybody else.

Yes right now Haymon is giving us **** fights I agree with that and I don't like it either but lets see how it plays out. I doubt the plan is to just sign all these fighters to match them up against Below Average fighters for big Paydays, I'm sure once his plan is in place (what ever that is) then he will have no problem matching them up. To be honest, most of the fighters he has signed as of late was throw into the fire immediately against Solid Opponents

This 100%. Then add to the fact that there will be a time when they can't step into the ring anymore and make money. What are they going to do? They spent a lifetime developing a specific skill. Many of them didn't go to college, don't have another skill(s) where they can make six figures, etc. So the money they make from boxing is as good as it gets. They have to plan for retirement while fighting! And let's not forget TAX that gets taken out of their purses.

lol at the flowmoes defending al haymon because of their love for floyd mayweather, and then acting like they aren't defending al haymon because of their love for floyd mayweather.


you're not fooling anybody. give it a rest.

[al-Xander]

That is a AWFUL Comparison...

How is it awful? You're basically saying consumers should just shut up and stop complaining and just accept whatever crap Haymon comes up with.

First thing that came to my mind as well, lol. Too obvious.

[al-Xander]

This is expected of fans and boxers as well as other professional athletes, movie stars and rock stars. They know that their success is owed to their public. The public has every right to the demand what they want otherwise this would be a communist country.

That's what I was saying. A simple concept some people can't grasp just because they're a fan of this pu55y boxer.

Never said such thing, my comment was about fighters IN GENERAL, not just guys who work with Haymon. Fighters have the right to try and make the most money possible for themselves and of course fans have the right not to support something they don't like it is nothing wrong with that at all.

Reason why I say the Comparison is "AWFUL" is simply because BOXING IS A SPORT, Sports we watch for ENTERTAINMENT VALUE! Watching Boxing is not a Necessity.

[Chiboxing123]

I have never hated anyone more in this sport than al Haymon.

[Fetta]

I dont know Haymon and dont see anything he is doing wrong.

Fans will continue to complain about everything
