    Damn, all the fights sound decent but when you take a closer look at them you'll realize they're a bunch of gold covered turds. Let's run through them really quick...

    Adrien Broner vs John Molina - Molina is coming off of two back to back losses against Humberto Soto and Luas Matthysse. Not only that but this fight would have been alo't better back when Molina was coming off the Lucas fight, in which he had garnered some hype over his showing. He lost all of that steam after succumbing to Soto and is just now getting his shot at Broner, why?

    Then you have Broner, he is coming off of two soft touches(after getting beat full ******ed, since he was at half prior to Chino) and has not looked good in some time. You take those facts into account and this fight means absolutely nothing in any respect to the sport or division itself.


    Robert Guerrero vs Keith Thurman - You have Robert Guerrero coming off a war against a formerly unknown Kamegai and a loss to Mayweather... add the fact that Guerrero only had these two fights in the last two years and I'm starting to think the fight isn't so even anymore. Plus, Keith is also coming off a lukewarm showing in his last fight.

    Although this is a decently intriguing fight, I really don't think their is much going on here aside from Haymon trying to feed the Hype beast by having his developing champion feast on a fighters with the "former Mayweather opponent" badge on his record.

    Danny Garcia vs Peterson - No comment, seriously... the fight went from "Great, sounds good" to "lol" in a split second once we found out it was at a catchweight with no titles on the line. Lamont lives to be a champ another day.

    Abner Mares vs some ex olympic dude - really? Digusted, and I'm a Mares fanboy.

    Jhonny Gonzalez vs Gary Russel Jr. - I like this fight myself but aside from the one-sided loss to Vasyl, what has Russel done to land another shot? Hmm that's right, he's with Haymon. Seriously, he lost his shot, faced an overmatched opponent in his comeback and managed to secure another shot against the WBC world champ, what?

    Then you have Jhonny, another personal favorite of mine who hasn't had a significant win in almost 2 years. Well, he did beat an over the hill, fat little bastard in Arce, whom he carried for far too many rounds but yeah.. that's pretty much it. Meh, just glad to see T-Rex arms get another whooping, aside from that it's another "ok" fight.

    I know I'm missing a few but that's what I could recall off the top of my head. Aside from a 6 year late fight between two of this era's greats, Haymon hasn't(helped) put much of anything together recently. At least not since Matthysse vs Garcia and that's been almost two years as well. Hope things turn out better but for now it seems like these golden turds are keeping Haymon's groupies on his knob for a few more months.

    Thanks for the free boxing but we need more quality stuff. Yup, you guessed it... I'm a begger and a chooser.
    OK smart guy. What's your business plan for the PBC since it's obvious Haymon don't know what he's doing?

      Scrap it altogether, Haymon leave boxing and return to music entertainment business where he belongs and let aztekkas handles the boxing business from now on

        I critiqued the matches at hand and this is what you can come up with? I have no clue and that's not my business.

        I am a fan of the sport and I am aware of his massive stable with quality champions and contenders, all he is doing is giving us "meh" fights though. Where in my post did I claim I know or have any plans that surpass Haymon's for the sport? Nowhere, all I did was breakdown each fight from my point of view and now I'm pointing out the fact that he could give us much better fights.

        No reason to get defensive

        Haymon is fine I'm just not completely blown away by his decent cards. That's it. What he is doing for the sport is great and beyond what anyone expected but I'm not going to slob on his nuts for that reason alone. Truh of the matter is he has so much talent in his massive stable these aren't even half the quality he could give us. Oh well, hopefully the cards will improve later on down the road, fingers crossed.

        Don't worry, I'm not attacking Haymon, just his shiny turds

          I'm not getting definsive. I just figured since you went on that soliloquy you would have some kind of alternative to what Haymon was doing. Although many of the matches aren't what you would consider career/legacy defining match ups they should be entertaining and play well on prime time TV. Which I think is the goal at least in the short term. You need guys that are going to come to fight.

            I agree, they will all be entertaining and I will support them because I am a fan of the sport but like you said(as I did as well)they aren't exactly spectacular.

            Anyway, I suppose your initial post took me by surprise since I never mentioned the business aspect of anything Haymon is doing. I simply gave my point of view on the fights he has lined up for us.

            I really hope he gives us Mares vs Leo Santa Cruz in the near future... and there's plenty of other great possible match ups as well. So far this year is shaping up to be something special, I really hope it continues.
