[DeadLikeMe]

?? but its still not MMA though. so why would this kill the UFC?

MMA and the UFC are here to stay, the amount of gyms opening up in the world and the talent getting into mma is crazy and wont be stopped.

I love both sports

honestly i think it will work every fighter with a name is going to want to be involved i just dont see how he could get enough people i mean if these promoters aint going to work together anyway why not

The hate for Haymon is strong if people are legitimately defending the sanctioning bodies, LMFAO.

Ya I'm surprised at how many people are defending the status quo. Boxing is a disaster, if this guy can make it into a legitimate league then I'm all for it.

So basically the same thing AIBA Pro Boxing (APB) is doing.

[Weebler I]

this post screams butt hurt..............

For asking for some evidence that the OP hasn't just pulled it out of his jacksie? hardly, especially as it turns out that's precisely what the OP did.

A lot of tv networks have tried to do boxing and failed, it's impossible to believe he's going to get all these networks to be interested in boxing. ****, espn doesn't even cover the sport anymore.

At the same time, Haymon has done the impossible in this sport. So I won't doubt him.

People Dont realize how hard it is to get in the boxing business and do well, and that's in any aspect of the sport. This dude came from no where and took out most of the prominent managers and promoters in the USA. The mother ****er just basically took golden boy over, even the ****ing secretaries!

So yeah, I won't doubt the man, but I won't hold my breath either.

I'd be very happy with a UFC type model in boxing as opposed to how the sport has been historically. One champion per division and no ducking allowed. Universal rules, ring sizes, health insurance, no more shady promoters & managers skimming off the fighters. A single entity like that would be easier to regulate on a federal level as well.

One problem though is it's harder to build stars in that format. Guys always having to fight top competition are going to take losses, which can stifle their momentum.

Haymon is currently in negotiations with:
CBS, CBS SportsNet & S P I K E TV
He is doing more then bringing Boxing back to network TV.

The PBC will soon be announced as a league and no fighters in it will be part of WBC, WBA etc.

With his own league The Ali Act will no longer apply as there are no "promoters" much like the UFC or WWE. Fighters will sign Non-Compete Clauses and will have guaranteed purses and percentage of event profits built into contracts.

Think everyone should take notice...guy is trying something. Good or bad....we are gonna see good fights on regular TV and soon more then on just NBC. What I find interesting is the 2 biggest networks known for sports:

ABC/ESPN & Fox

Are not involved. I see Haymon planning on starting a legit sports league on both NBC and CBS and in 2 years when the contracts are up the prayer is the 2 sports networks bid like crazy against each other for all the rights.

PBC? With guys not ranked by other boxing orgs? Doomed to failure. Or it could just be a fun little Prizefighter rip off.

How does this transition into us seeing good fights? It's just another way for fighters to duck eachother.
