    Do You Trust AL HAYMON????

    The guy is making his move.

    POWER MOVES.

    He is basically trying to jerome "fleece" johnson the entire boxing game. Signing fighters left and right, making deals with tv networks...

    do you trust this guy?

    do you trust this guy to make the best fights?
    he's paying the star guys now, but what happens when he finally has control of the entire game? will he treat his guys the same as he did before? will he treat regular non star ppv fighters if/once he has full control of the game?

    will his reign last or will the other promotional companies survive this all out ******ical i mean tyrannical attack and regain control?

    is the sport better with this guy as the #1 man?

    Yes. I feel boxing is safe in his tender loving arms.

    I don't trust any boxing promoter/manager type. They are in it for the business and the money. At the end of the day money will always come first before making the fights that fans ask for.

      depends on what he gives us in 2015...if all he does is put mismatches on a national spotlight, the sport will be back into the abyss by 2016 as far as casual interest goes


      but if great fights are made and seen by the masses, i will be impressed

        i think the guy is a drug dealing pederast who hides from the media.

        but that's just me.

            As long as boxers are separated between promoters and networks, boxing is not safe. In fact boxing is in a very cold place right now, secluded and alienated from other major sports. Because fights like Cotto vs Canelo and Mayweather vs Pacquiao aren't happening.

            Our only hope for a big mainstream fight is if Wilder and Wladimir step up and fight each other.

              based on al haymon's history,

              do you think that fight happens?

              also, if you feel this way, why did you vote yes?

                Yes, and vice versa. If Floyd was in TR as well. Though, I have a feeling Arum would let that marinate for too long, like Gamboa-Lopez, Mayweather-Cotto(140 versions), etc.

                  I voted yes because it's wrong to blame one man, it's the whole sport including the networks and sanctioning bodies. Sanctioning bodies are quick to strip one fighter after a couple of hours of inactivity, while letting others keep their belt for a year+. I do trust Al Haymon will make the right fights, I just don't trust the sport in general.

                    well he does have the most fighters now i think and most of his star fighters are being accused of ducking and being rewarded by cherry picked fights for millions of dollars.

                    its only fair he gets a lot of blame.
