        Why do I care how much Haymon fighters get for mismatched fights? I'm a fan all I care about is good fights. Competitive fights. And the best fighting the best. So far I have seen none of that on these PBC cards that have already aired or on the PBC cards that have been announced. Instead what we have is Haymon fighters not fighting the best even in his own stable. I don't see him working with other promoters so how are the best ever going to fight the best when Haymon doesn't do business with the other promoters who own most these fighters Ward, Bradley, Cotto, Canelo, Kovelev, Rigo, ect. What I see happening is Haymon starting his own boxing league where Haymon fighters exclusively fight Haymon fighters. That's great for Haymon but I fail to see how PBC has made boxing better for the fans. Honestly Haymon stops more fights that boxing fans want to see then he creates.

          You haven't seen this from Top Rank, GBP or any other promoter over the last few years, either. Haymon may not be offering us Mayweather/Pacquaio every month, but what he is offering is better than anything we have seen from Top Rank or GBP in the last three years. However, I am sure you are one of those people who think Pacquiaio/Rios, Pacquaio/Algieri and Alvarez/Angulo on PPV or GGG vs Willie Nelson Jr. on HBO are better than Garcia/Peterson and Quillin/Lee on network television.

            Probably... he's probably saving Jr for Stevenson. A guy nobody watches against a guy people watch. IMO, it'd do huge with Jnr on free tv
