Great article on why PBC is an overwhelming succes so far.

Why should I respect Haymon? I do not know the man and he has done nothing to earn my respect. As for his skin color, I'm colorblind. Every dealer I have met in my life has been Caucasian by the way, and yes, some of them have had advanced degrees and paid for their education by dealing. And what other business endeavors has Haymon been successful in? He was turfed out of the music industry and as far as I am aware, that is his only other claim to fame. Not too impressive if you ask me.

As for the demographics, it is all relative. You can put a show on at 3 AM and claim that it has the highest ever rating in that demographic and it will mean nothing at all. Saturday night demographics are not far from that example as far as importance goes. Like I said, it's like bringing home the best looking girl at an ugly girl contest. Sure, she's the hottest one there but she still looks like a troll.

My wanting to know how he is making a profit is as valid a point as that of posters who bring up how much the fighters are being paid. If you can't deal with that, then stop talking about how great the fighters have it.

I didn't say show "him" more respect, I said you should show his degrees more respect when making a reference with such negative racial overtones.

He was very successful in the music industry, tapping into the same untapped market that he is with Floyd mayweather in boxing.

That isn't what he is doing at all. he is creating new avenues in this era for people to see boxing. Hopefully, he gets younger fans from the afternoon shows and they help revive the sport as they get older.

No it isn't. You are using the fact he isn't telling you his plan to negatively characterize what he is doing. You are putting knowing how a long term profit is made over watching the fights. That's ridiculous.

Al haymon is the truth

PBC off to a very good start, only critics are a few bitter b1tches on this forum like this Barcham troll who pops up in every Thread about PBC and Haymon (you're on my ignore list b1tch so don't waste your time trying to reply to my comment)

and you got people like Steve Kim and few other bitter media guys who probably butt hurt because they can't get Credentials.

PBC is something that is NEEDED in boxing, a platform that reaches a bigger crowd. It is not about putting others out of business, it is not a threat to HBO, Top Rank or GBP, if anything the success of PBC on Network TV is good for the sport IN GENERAL! Boxing Media, Youtube Boxing Community everybody that is involved in this great sport can benefit from Boxing being successful on Network TV and Most Importantly...THE FIGHTERS!

Haymon has a BA/MBA from Harvard. You should show that more respect.

probably got in on some affirmative action bull****

Bob Arum went to Harvard as well, so what.

I'm sure you need to believe that. yes he has a double degree from Harvard as well, BA/JD.

I don't have a clue if Haymon is the "truth" or not, but I'm watching a helluva a lot more quality boxing on TV and that's what I want

I've been watching more boxing. Still waiting for the quality.

Due to your inability to see anything involved with PBC with any sort of objectivity, your opinion here means less than nothing
