Still, look at Quillin, he dropped his belt because Haymon told him to, effectively avoiding his mandatory, and now wants to fight for it again in 2015.
    Yea, can't argue with ya there, that was pretty fkn ridiculous.. they obviously weren't very confident that Quillin could beat Korobov, but now that Andy Lee has the belt, they're all for it. SMH

      The Great thing about boxing is that you can change fans opinions rather quickly.

      Quillin grows a pair fight GGG and he gets some respect, even if he loses I think most LOGICAL and MATURE fans would still give him credit for finally stepping up.

      Haymon did not tarnish anybody career, they're the ones picking and choosing, Haymon is being blamed for some of these fighters BS. Leo Santa Cruz and others have mentioned that Haymon give them options and them and their team are the ones who choose who they want to fight

      Matthysse was approached about fight Broner, he wasn't interested, Maidana was offered Thurman, he wasn't interested, Leo Santa Cruz all he has to do is give the word to Al Haymon that he wants Rigondeaux and I guarantee that fight gets done as well.

      Quillin and others are taking advantage of and HIDING BEHIND Haymon's Power! For Danny it is Angel making decisions as far as who they fight, for Stevenson it is Yvon Michel who is Stevenson PROMOTER!

        This is not entirely true. Most of his guys are on the record saying that they let Al do the match making.

        And as a match maker the guy either suck balls or its a premeditated, which is more than obvious. So yes Al is the one to blame. I can't blame the fighters for making easy money but I sure as hell can't respect them as professional athletes or world champions for taking the easy route.

          I agree with this actually. Fighters are the cause. They are *****ing out for that money. And as for boxers saying Al chooses the fight for them, well i say to the wifey every time that my dog Rico was the one who farted. He cant talk so he wont say no, it was him, not me.

              He isnt going to become any type of household name in 4 months. Most people do not and will not watch boxing even if its on network TV...lets wait and see some ratings before anointing Boxing as a mainstream sport again, much less Danny Garcia a household name.

                Oh yes, Garcia is very well known mow for his cherry picking abilities and getting his ass out boxed by Mauricio Herrera and dodging other fighters who would probably kick the other half of his one dimensional ass.

                    The damage has been done to people in this site but not the people it matters to: the casuals. I mean garcia salka sold plenty of tix and best sho ratings of the year.
