    You making it seems as if TR fighters are not being finacaially benefited as well. The thing is Haymon fighters benefit more because he constantly have them fight low risk bums for good money.

    I vote Haymon. He has too much talent and not giving us the fans the fight we want. I understand he wants to take care of his fighters, but this is a sport just like any other. The best should go up against the next best. But showtime let him get away with it so i dont blame him for milking them.

      If these two disappear, like Lampley said, the sport will not miss them.

And I think he made those mismatches to satisfy prior fight dates that were negotiated by Schaefer. And once he's finished he will end that tie with GBP and start fresh on the NBCSports Network.
        Name a good, competitive fight that Haymon has been responsible for since Schaeffer left.

          Arum is the only Promoter who downplays one his most skilled fighter and call him boring. Keeping fans from watching his raise.
          Arum without a doubt is the worst for boxing.
          I don't consider Haymon bad, because he wants to put some more shine to his clients.

            Not that Bob is good, but Haymon is worse. His fighters are barely tested in the ring. Why should I care that he makes his guys richer? I am a fan, I want the best fights possible not obvious mismatches.

              Pac fans would suck Arum a$$ as long as Pacquiao told them it tastes fine.

                Arum.

                We have to see what Haymon has planned but have seen the snake Arum at work already

                  arum has been along for a long time, isn't he the one that gave us the fabulous four fights?

                  pacquiao has also been in alot of great, GREAT fights

                    Ive seen Haymon plans so far.....Made Peter Quillen turn down $1.4mill and vacate his belt, help steered Stevenson away from Kovalev and Hopkins, steered Thurman from not taking the $6million 3 fights from Roc nation, gave us Garcia vs Salka....... and the list goes on. At least Bob now a days is trying to match the best vs best.

                      Good point. Haymon prevented some good fights this year so he deserves most of the crap he gets. Bob shelved one of the 5 best boxers on the planet rather than do his job and find opponents whose style would provide a good matchup
