What will happen to GBP's series on Fox Sports 1? Fox can't be happy with the GBP-Haymon divorce. Does FS1 have other promoters?Comment

Haymon has done the work to build and establish the TV relationships, working hand-in-glove with Espinoza/Showtime and putting up some of his own investor's money to run the test experiment on NBC. To that, you also add the regular appearances for his fighters on ESPN too.
Goosen, DiBella, Warriors Boxing, Sampson Boxing, Mayweather Promotions, GYM, Matchroom Sport, and other promotional outfits all have the ability to handle the logistics of putting on shows and, with the legal situation now cleared, Schaefer and the folks that left Golden Boy with him can be brought in to handle whatever logistical issues that could come up in putting on major/PPV cards.
He' got the spectrum of fighters (superstars, budding stars, top prospects, aging veterans) and enough relationships with folks who can deliver journeyman fighters to be just fine, as long as he's still got his relationship with Espinoza.Comment

With all of the prospects under the Haymon umbrella, most of the guys will likely be on NBC Sports; the name fighters under the umbrella (Garcia, Thurman, Wilder, Maidana, Stevenson, Khan, etc) will likely be featured on the 14-18 major telecasts that will be aired between Showtime(10-14) and NBC(4)Comment

While I am not jumping on the haymon bandwagon and I still am very skeptical of the guy, he has all the ingredients to really make a big difference. hes got a ton of fighters on lock, promotional company on the way, tv networks. Whatever ideas anyone can speculate about now means nothing because we don't know what the hell this guy is gonna do.
Sure he can **** boxing as many seem to think but he can also benefit it. we just have to wait and see. One year is nothing and his fighters only fought 2 times. In the grand scheme of things, that is nothing. it only looks bad because all his fighters fought those ****ty two fights in the same year.
everyone needs to keep in mind that there are many opposing forces in boxing (boxers, fans, managers, promoters, etc) and each of those separate en****** have a responsibility to do what's best for themselves and they will not always match up. So anyone claiming to be pro-fighters could in fact be ripping off the promoters or fans and someone claiming to be pro-fans could be ripping off the fighter. In almost every equation, someone gets fawked.
so far in 2014, haymon and his fighters made bank while everyone else suffered. We will have to see if he will strike a balance or see who gets fawked in his system. as long as its not the fans I don't give a ****. If every fighter, manager, promoter has to get ripped off so that the fans get theirs, then so be it. a boxer job is to box to the best of his ability and be entertaining. my job is to pay the money and watch. I don't want to follow a guy for 10 years fighting 2x a year with soft touches in between to finally hit his ****in prime at age 35 then is ready to face contenders. and if he faces another 30+, dude was faded or if he faced a young buck, the guy is ****in young and hasn't hit prime yet. Boxing today is set up so that everyone is a ****ing hypejob. to get out of becoming a hype job, make it to 35yrs old with a great record of ppvs.
if haymon starts a new promotional company, and the guy puts on great fights regardless of if he is taking all his fighters money and getting it in with their wives, I will watch that ****. I expect a new promo company to make a big splash with good matchups to attract the casuals.Comment

NBC and Showtime clearly! It was rumored last month that he was working on a Sp1keTV deal, not sure if that was true or just a rumor.
Not sure how long Showtime will be in play though, probably up until Mayweather contract is up with them which ends this year. Seems like Haymon is a bit unpredictable but has some type of MASTER PLAN! Suppose to be some sort of Press Conference on Wendesday to reveal his PLAN with NBC...that should be interesting. I doubt Haymon himself will be hosting that Press Conference! Probably Sam Watson, maybe SchaeferLast edited by sicko; 01-12-2015, 02:30 PM.Comment

NBC/NBC Sports, SHO/ShoBox, ESPN.
I read CBS Sports is also going to test the boxing waters. HBO will come crawling back eventually.Comment
