Comments Thread For: CBS Sports/PBC Deal Revealed: Stevenson-Bika, More

[sicko]

People making it about Haymon...for me it is not about Haymon it is 100% about THE FIGHTERS that is why I watch boxing, I don't watch boxing for no Damn Haymon or any other Manager, Promoter, Promotion or Networks

These Network Deals is great for the Fighters and it makes me excited for the Fighters and the Possibilities of a lot of them become bigger Stars, making more money. With this expose likely will come more Endorsement Deals for individual fighters among so many other things.

I want to see the sport I LOVE reach levels it likely should have reached YEARS AGO but instead many fighters been selfish over the years and just been using the sport for their own financial gain while everybody else seems as if they been left to find their own way which in boxing can be SO DIFFICULT! Now they have at least a "League" to shoot for and to hopefully one day reach!

Let's make this clear, if you want this to fail you are not actually a fan of boxing. So why even post on this site? You are a fan of either a promoter/fighter/or one specific network. But the actual SPORT called BOXING, no you aren't a fan at all.

We don't want it to fail, we want it to be for the good of the sport. It being on all these stations is a good thing. What's the point is every fight is a forgone conclusion? I would be okay with it some of the big fights were on Showtime but instead we get Chavez on Showtime and really... Thurman/Guerrero should be on the A network it's the only good fight mentioned.

Seriously. This succeeds and we are in a whole new Era of boxing. Idc if u hate Haymon, this is something we all should be rooting to go right. That's a lot of frikkin boxing.

Success in what way though? The fighters getting paid, or great fights being made?

This is reasonable Beater. you were coming off as if you wanted it to fail.

Same way you get people to watch more football-by putting it on a Thursday night, in primetime, where it once wasn't. Same way you get people to watch more college football-put games with no name teams on wed and Tuesday nights.

You are being incredibly shortsighted simply because its Haymon.

"half azzed matchups"

Are you trying to have a serious discussion or being your usual jackass self?

Why is LSC not ffighting Rigo? Al Haymon.
Why is Quillin not fighting GGG? Al Haymon.
Why didn't Adonis fight Kovalev? Al Haymon.
Why is Abner Mares fighting nobodies? Al Haymon.
Shall I continue?

It's not because it's Haymon. It's because he puts on raggedy fights.
