Comments Thread For: Warriors Boxing Wins Purse Bid For DeGale-Dirrell

[bigdunny1]

Clearly Haymon overpaid to keep this fight out of the UK. Sad it would of been a bigger deal for boxing if it were in the UK. But instead Al gives his fighter a big advantage and Warriors Boxing is just Al's puppet in all this. I thought we might get Roc Nation throwing money at this but they must of learned their lesson and figured Al would just make his fighter refuse to fight.

Gutted. I wanted to go to this fight.

Me too. Odd that they've bid so much. Seems wasted, really - doubt this can successfully headline a show in the 'States

This bid only makes financial sense in Haymon world.

When is someone going to look into Haymon's connections to promoters? He is basically controlling everything his associated promoters do, which makes him the defacto promoter which is violation of the Ali Act. This stinks so much that I can smell it all the way up here in Canada.

I suspect authorities are secretly building their case.

They'll likely put it on the same card as Anthony Dirrell vs Badou Jack

First time hearing of Warriors Boxing? Who the ***? This is a NBC Networks worthy fight IMO, excellent match up! 50/50 Fight, not really sure how this will play out, big fan of both fighters though!

So you're mad AL got Dirrell a "big advantage" by fighting at home? Because you wanted DeGale to have a "big advantage" and fight at home.

They are a promoter that Haymon pulls out of his pocket when he wants to win a purse bid. He probably calls them up and tells them how much to bid and he covers the money end and pays them a tidy little profit in the end.

Gutted for Chunky.
