    Seems like Haymon is going to put his guys in tough fights

    Chavez Jr vs Froch is being talked about
    Matthysse vs Provodnikov is also a possibility unless Crawford gets a shot at the WBO belt first.
    Santa Cruz vs Mares may happen in May (I think he gave him a tune up fight to finish his Golden Boy contract)

    Once they add Schafer to the mix we will get even more of these fights IMO.

    Khan vs Brook can also happen in the future. I think there will be more announcements for fights once the NBC deal is announced tomorrow.

    If those fights happen, it's just as likely due to the settlement with GB and that Oscar's the one pushing for those fights.

      The only thing Chavez Jr is going to do is get himself shelved if he doesn't settle his contract dispute with TR.

        Yea I doubt any of those fights are going to happen.

        Same goes for Pac/Floyd.

          With the recent progress on Mayweather-Pacquiao, I'm sure Haymon's using those negotiations as leverage with Top Rank to get the Chavez-Froch cash-out fight approved (I think that ppv bombs too).

              Sorry, but yea you're right it probably is true.


              I am looking forward to Hayman's NBC line up though. He has a crap load of fighters, it shouldn't be too hard for him to make good fights.

                You gotta remember though most of the nbc dates are on an obscure channel that no ones ever heard of. They aren't going to put real fights on those shows because its a level below even espn. He might put some ok fights on showtime but it will be like 1 out of 3-4 at best. He'll still be aiming for ppv. Schafear might set up the tough fights but without him i wouldnt count on it. we'll see
