GBP preparing to file suit against Haymon

[Mitchell Kane]

Right. But Goosen Promotions did do Thurman/Guerrero card.

Yeah, the shell of Goossen Promotions promoted the fight.

[-PBP-]

But he tells them they have to get his permission to fight certain boxers. He controls them, puts on their shows, promotes the shows through his company, and "manages" their careers. I don't see any difference. Boxers sign with promoters....every other day there is an article about another guy signing with Hymen; sounds like a promoter to me.

Haymon has never been the lead promoter of a fight. And the rest is speculation because neither of us know what a Haymon contract looks like.

But Haymon is a Harvard law graduate and probably has a group of other Harvard Law graduates drafting his contracts and reviewing his business model.

He's not ******

[Thickback]

oh so the "only" promoters he refuses to work with are the two other biggest promoters. and what obvious reasons? it seems pretty clear to me that Arum and Oscar would both be willing to repair burnt bridges in order to make the fights that make sense. Haymon and Schaeffer are like bratty little girls who couldn't care less about the fans. That's why we'll just keep seeing mismatches for Thurman, Khan, Santa Cruz, Quillin, Garcia and all the other fighters on the Haymon roster. Until hopefully one day the ship collapses.

Thurman vs Guerrero - big mismatch
Quillin vs Lee - even bigger mismatch
Garcia vs Peterson - Biggest mismatch!!!!!

LMAO....come on man

[R_Walken]

Oscar has become an embarrassment to Boxing

[-PBP-]

Thanks. Thats Molinas promoter? Thats 2 cards promoted by undercard B siders team.And its not like they assume the financial risk, the other guys "advisor" does or his investors. Not that this is necessarily worse but its not exactly by the book

No you misunderstanding how it works. A fighter doesn't need to be signed to a promoter. Think of a purse bid. Anybody with a license can bid on a fight and promote it. If I get a promoter license, I can show up to a purse bid, bid the highest offer and promote the show.

Haymons model is, none of his fighters are signed to promotional contracts.

yea, a lot of ppl around here have pretty much turned their backs on pbc fighters, its absurd but its clearly true, say what u want about haymon but what he put together is nothing short of amazing.

yeah danny garcia vs rod salka was amazing.

[big_james10]

Everyone talks about the Ali Act and numerous people have been accused of violating it. However, I don't recall any promoter, manager or advisor ever being punished for violating it. It is an unenforced law.

If anyone can point out any examples that prove me wrong, please do!

[Kagami Taiga]

yeah danny garcia vs rod salka was amazing.

i meant PBC. that fight had nothing to do with PBC.

[In Motion]

yeah danny garcia vs rod salka was amazing.

He was saving his best fights for NBC/CBS, at that point he was still working with Showtime.

[ramplamp]

Do these idiots think that PBC bouts involving Haymon fighters aren't promoted by anyone? There's always a promoter, and Haymon has laid out a smart business plan to use said promoters to air his bouts on national TV. Man, some of you dudes are way too emotional that a guy like Haymon is so successful. It irks you doesn't it?

It irks me only insofar as I think it hurts the sport at large and means ALL of us boxing fans will be deprived of many great match ups. But I guess a halfwit such as yourself who sees everything as a black or white issue will never be brought around to see that.
