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

Truth. Mainstream public isn't going to sit around, watching 10-12 round matchups throughout the year.

You know what? You're right. Let's keep boxing on a couple cable networks and PPV. Who in their right mind thought more exposure for the sport was a good idea? Idiots.

the cable networks snd ppv kept boxing alive.

you know how SHO,HBO rivalry prevented some fights from happening?

now imagine fighrers signed to more networks and can't fight in others.

More exposure for mismatches? Probably not really a good thing for several reasons.

it dilutes the product?

especially when haymon sets up dates NOT fights.

hbo and sho are at their best when they buy fights ppl want NOT give out random dates to a promoter/manager for fighters TBA.

... The fact is that nobody told me what the Haymon's business model would be... It's beyond my comprehension... Even if he ruins all his competitors and signs all the top fighters, Haymon still has to somehow get huge money in order to keep his empire in place. And I don't see from where that kind of money is coming from. Honestly.

It doesn't matter what you see. It's amusing how people with no experience in this type of business whatsoever think they know something that Haymon and his investors don't know.

Wait...So people DON'T want boxing to be on network TV and get more exposure?
