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

[Francis M.]

How exactly did haymon ruin the sport? Last week Stevenson fought. I didn't watch because it was BS IMO. Haymon hurt his own fighters rep. Not the sport.

Does every bad fight ruin the sport? Did the BS on showtime make the fights on HBO or ESPN bad? Did it make BEIN sports fights with Roman Gonzalez bad? Did it make NBC cards bad? No. So stop the over the top fake anger.

If you don't like the fight or the fighters, don't watch. If you love boxing as you claim, watch the same as you do when someone other than haymon has a crap card.

When he has that many top fighters, then he is ruining the sport.

He made some good points but he's clearly biased for not mention Pac fighting Rios and Algieri and also GGG vs All of his opponents.

Sorry but all of their opinions were debunked by the man himself Freddie Roach. He has revealed who really dropped the ball when it truly mattered so you and all the others are obsolete.

I agree with Roach Pacquiao should have called Floyd's bluff from the very beginning. Looking back, TBE would have been exposed right away. But Pacman didn't know that he was dealing with a chicken. He had no idea back then. Look at what happened. For four years it was about the testing. Now it's Arum. Why tf didn't he say so? See the ******ity of your arguments? He has to join TMT doe. What happened to the ped crap? Haha...

What you're basically saying is once you piss the the seven year old boy TBE, that's it. It doesn't matter whether the fight is worth close to a quarter of a billion dollars. Negotiations can only happen once. It that what you're saying, TBE is an immature seven year old?

I could have sworn that Mayweather just called out Pacquiao to fight him on May 2nd and said Arum was the road block and sure nuff here comes Arum with the disrespecting Mexicans comment. Coincidence? I think not.

And the black bold NEVER happened because Manny walked away from the fight at the most right time in both of their careers. Calling Mayweather a chicken for wanting to fight Manny but agreeing that Pacquiao should have called Mayweather bluff is a confusing argument. You admit Pacquiao ducked the fight but still say Mayweather was/is the chicken? How could he be the chicken if Manny was the one (and you agree) that didn't call Mayweather's bluff and fight him?

every person in boxing from all boxers, from all camps, from all networks, from all managers, from all promoters, from all newscasters, from all ring announcer. **** all of humanity actually are ****ing liars. at some point in their lives, they have said on thing then said something different years later. how do you guys choose what things to quote when you want to further your agendas? say some dude said one thing then went back on in years later. did he just learn and grow with experience or was he a liar before?

No he isn't. Let's not over exaggerate. Danny v salka-bad fight good ratings, no different than kov v caparello. Only thing hurt is his fighters rep, no different than Bob when he makes Manny v algieri and floats Manny v Vargas.

You guys really need to stop acting like only haymon crap fights ruin the sport. Most of the people complaining the most don't even watch haymon fights or showtime for reasons completely different from "bad fights",

I think someone said it right in another thread just days ago. In business, you don't let a potential partner walk away and be content in just finding fault. At the end of the day, they both lost. Seems to me that you're just here to find fault, rather than actually seeing the fight. Question is what would you have done if you were Floyd? He had four years to correct it. But it's clear he's not interested. Anyway, I'd rather not get involved in this and focus on other fights. Keep on. You guys seem be enjoying these never-ending arguments without any form of resolution. Enjoy.

Why would someone lie against themselves if it wasn't factual? Liars usually lie to benefit from or to always seem right about any situation even when they are dead wrong. Also take into consideration that guilt sometimes make people admit their mistakes because the weight is too much to carry. The majority of humanity lies but where there are lies, the truth is also there.

I thought the title said "Lampley Fires Off, Shoots Deep Inside Al Haymon"

Shut your ignorant ass up because I've been the one on here saying that the fight should have happened and still should but your boy Bob Arum don't want to disrespect Mexicans on May 2nd. Floyd fans actually are saying what's wrong with the fight happening on May 2nd but Manny fans are saying "Why can't Mayweather fight in April or June"? WE been wanting to see the fight all the way back to when we said "Why isn't Manny accepting the random blood test request" or "Why isn't Manny accepting the 40Mil or at least continuing negotiations" all the while Pacquiao fans were saying "Manny doesn't have to do what Mayweather says" and "Mayweather ain't the commission".

Always cosigning Manny not taking the fight but then saying Mayweather is ducking? What sense does that make to cosign Manny not taking the fight because it is on Floyd's terms and then after saying Floyd don't want the fight? Did any of you JACK ASSES ever stop your hate for one moment and say to yourself "Why isn't Manny/Arum fighting Mayweather on May 2nd"? or "What's the damn problem Arum has with the date because we can finally get to see the fight? NO you guys are not asking these questions because all you care about is making or trying to make Floyd look like a coward instead of holding Pacquiao accountable for his mistakes as well.

This fight will not hurt only Mayweather or Pacquiao but the whole sport. Meanwhile dumb asses like yourself will continue to bash Mayweather for something that takes more than one person to do. Arum and Manny called out Floyd even did a damn commercial and then Floyd comes back and says lets fight and then Arum comes back with an issue with May 2nd? How ignorant can you guys be to sit in front of your computers and type the dumb $#!t that you do and bash guys who actually have something interesting or intelligent to say and actually want to see the damn fight?
