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

[Left Hook Tua]

According to Tua and others, that's a bad thing that will fail.

if it dilutes the quality of my boxing, it is bad and i want it to fail.

i care about 1 thing. good fights/good matchups.

and my experience with haymon with hbo and later sho was not good.

I don't see him working with HBO to be honest and to be honest I can't really say I blame him considering the disrespect from Lampley

HBO is really not needed to be honest. HBO don't have a Television NETWORK to throw in the Deal like NBC and CBS. Next move is probably to do something with ESPN/ABC Network which I think would be bigger than getting the CBS/Showtime and the NBC/NBC Sports Deal! If he lands that then GAME OVER! HBO is **** out of luck and will be able to hold on until those other fighters become Free Agents and eventually JUMP or Promoters lose money because they can't offer the match up fans want with most of the Top Talent being with Haymon that they eventually start cashing out and selling their Rosters to Haymon and bowing out gracefully.

I don't see that happening any time soon, I think GBP, Top Rank and HBO still have enough talent to stay afloat FOR NOW! The concern is just with the fighters, you can't force them to stay with your Promotion or Network so once guys become Free Agents it becomes completely up to them what they want to do and/or where they want to go.

We've already been through this and clearly you're wrong. You were saying the spreading out of networks means fighters can't face each other. Clearly that's not the case since fighters on NBC will be fighting on CBS/Showtime later and vice versa. So how would it be diluted exactly?

[The Big Dunn]

Yeah it does. You are a leading cheerleader who jumps to conclusions. I haven't said anything about a few of the things you're pulling out of thin air. This seems to be a common tactic with groupies.

Whatever. Run from the points,it's easy to see what your real problem is.

I'll be enjoying the fights. Feel free to go to UFC. You'll never have to worry about a "haymon type" running the sport.

[The Big Dunn]

it's the same.

rating is percentage of households with tv.

don't think they discern who has cable or hbo or showtime, etc.

100 million people have nbc, 23 million have HBO. The ratings are in no way equal.

When we ask Jay Z, should we also ask for crack, since, people don't change?

Yeah and I'm waiting for you to explain how what Haymon is doing is diluting the sport? Go ahead. Serious question.

1% is 1% whether on network tv, cable, premium cable.
