Comments Thread For: Haymon's Continued Rise Will Challenge HBO's Rule

[IMDAZED]

the talent is spread out more?

and not necessarily fighting each other?

i don't need more fights. i want more good fights.

You need to give specific examples. The depth is under one umbrella (PBC) so that doesn't deter anything. Cite examples of how multi-networks dilutes things.

We didn't get fights with Arum and Schaefer in power either so what else is new?

Haymon's 2014 was one of the worst years for boxing on record.

Shame you hate one guy so much that it will prevent you from enjoying the fights. Oh well your loss.

Go on hoping the sport you "love" fails. Thats a true fan

I know your interest on this site lies in being a troll for 99% of the time, but that's not even close to what I said.

i love how you morons think that floyd is the reason for everything.

floyd got nothing to do with this nor will we ever see floyd on anything but ppv.

haymon has a crappy record on hbo and later showtime.

but yeah he'll save boxing.

And so was HBO's lineup.

all these deals they're making are paid for by haymon?

really?

boxing is not more popular now.

maybe your country but not america.

I am in America and I have been watching boxing since the 1970s when Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard used to fight on network television. I don't know how long you have been following boxing, but it is obvious that you don't know what you are talking about.


Please explain how boxing is not more popular now than it ever has been. Please explain how a fighter can make $32 million per fight (Mayweather) or $20 million per fight (Pacquaio) in a dying sport. Please explain how there are more fighters making $1 million plus per fight (adjusted for inflation) now than there has been in any period in history in a sport that is not as popular as it used to be.

When something or someone is not as popular as it/they used to be, they make less money, not more. So, please explain how boxing is less popular that it was in the 1990s, 1980s, 1970s or 1960s.

It was the best of the bunch despite Haymon saving Aducknis from his Kovalev beatdown.

...

Offering more boxing programs on television will increase the visibility and popularity of the sport. It will allow fighters to make a much better living or a great living off the sport. This, in turn, will allow fighters to better provide for their families and improve the economy because more money will be spent.

There is no legitimate criticism that anyone can make about what Haymon is doing. ...

I guess you're a communist of some sort.
Do you think that Haymon would also provide free subscriptions for public libraries in the process? Or at least some food stamps?

You're nothing but a true troll who whines when people don't agree with the few things you take seriously on this site.

I never care if anyone agrees with me or not. Made that clear several times.

But you are a "true fan"

I wanna hear more how the sport growing is bad
