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

[Check_hooks]

the crappiest years of hbo was when they were tied to haymon.

sho kicked hbo ass.

then hbo dumped him, haymon moved to showtime and hbo recovered and sho ******.

This is why I think his PCB experiment will fail. Everything he touches turns to ****. He won't be profitable for at least a couple years since these are all time buys and he has a unproven product.

And once Networks start doing there homework on him and find out hes a ****** than its over

Don't know what's going to happen.
But I'll be watching the fights.

doubt it.

boxing left the big network for a reason.

the reasons haven't changed.

It'll be fun to watch.

Didn't Showtime have their 2nd best year all time in 2013? How is that a failure? What screwed over Showtime was Schaefer leaving Golden Boy. Once that happened Haymon stopped giving Oscar the good match ups they were getting in 2013.

HAYMON HAS NO PROBLEM BEING PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER 1...as long as its NUMBER 1..by him and the hand of floyd mayweather this sport will not only be saved, but it will be one of the biggest once again

[-PBP-]

HBO has Ward, GGG, Canelo, Crawford, Pac, Bradley, Lomachenko, etc.

They'll be fine. Haymon has the quantity but HBO has the better fighters.

There is room for both.

major networks will drop boxing in a year or so.

boxing is a cable/ppv sport.

only reason boxing is getting a 2nd chance is demand for live programming and boxing uses UNDESIRABLE timeslots (FRI/SAT night)

son wat u dont understand is boxing had those spots before and the only reason it died was b/c of greed...ppl like bob arum and don king...took it from it from tv to pad their pockets instead of letting everyone watch..they got paid for others to watch...

i think the ratings will draw lots of those guys away from the greed of hbo..really go look at triple g's highest purse..quillin has 2 offers already that blow it out the water and he's a bit of a ducker of ggg..that cant make his team happy..al haymon is about to take this sport where it needs to be..for christ sakes u dont see nba and nfl being paid for

[MDPopescu]

There's Al Haymon on one hand; there are TR, GBP, K2, Main Event, 50 cent etc on the other hand.
We'll see...

exactly that newly clean out of rehad mindset killed his own company..he cant even make canelo happy with a simple date..he went to trial and lost lost lost..giving up all your fighters that u built up is no win at all..now u have to start ground level..and TR robbed u in the first war stopping fight on hbo...he was crying b/c fighters dont want to sign promo contracts..so wat as long as they doing business with you...now he's completely out of the loop when it comes to haymons tv deals
