Comments Thread For: HBO's Lampley Fires Off, Shoots Deep on Al Haymon

[The Big Dunn]

Who is Lampley really referring to? Since Top Rank is HBO's biggest clients that put on the most mismatches and underhand scoring in boxing, Lampley can't call Bob out (Lampley's with HBO) so he fires at Haymon. The pot calling the skillet black syndrome. Safest fights? Duh? What about Pacquiao?

True. Lampley forgot HBO be like kov v caparello and Manny v algieri. Its only bad when the other guy does it.

Jim has a case for boxing in general, but Al won't lose one second of sleep over this

Man I wish Paulie Malinaggi had his own Fight Game themed show on showtime. The amount of trash talk to Arum/Pacquiao/HBO would be epic.

Show would be so AMAAAAAAAAZING

Thats actually a great idea

those happened because they were all that was available at the time, and yea, forget the rest of the year, we all know these guys only fight once per year

closer to the truth

As a hardcore life long fan, naturally I want to see the best possible fights week in and week out. As a manager Al Haymon is doing his job, he owes the fans nothing and its his job to make good career choices for his clients. if hes handling my portfolio, its most money, least risk. Showtime needs to reject fights that are not up to standards, as does hbo. These networks shouldn't answer to the boxers/managers/promoters, but the fans who subscribe. We foot the bill. We complain on message boards but not where it counts, I cancelled Superchannel(carrier for showtimes fights in Canada) in august. Its not because cost or anything, I would keep it even for a couple good fights a year. As long as we eat crap it will always be on the menu. Take it from an Edmonton oilers fan.

yea he coulda fought anybody else.....that was horrible smh...and i agree with lampley but Arum isnt no diffrent than Al

Arum has many fights of the year under his belt. Haymon, not quite. Yea yea. He's not the promoter, but we all know he basically is.
