They also put together better matchups, but most importantly they're not trying to cut out everyone else. Haymon and Schaeffer are cancers for boxing, and anyone who can't see that is a moron. Yes, I do like the fact that he put more boxing on television, but considering everything else he stands for I absolutely cannot say he's good for boxing.

Maybe. But you don't know the terms of the settlement. They could still sue them as aiders and abettors, among other causes of action.

Haymon is just bad for everyone else's business. I personally do not have an issue with what he is doing, but I hope and pray he improves the quality of those PBC shows. They feel like boxing watered down. The energy of the events are non existent.
As for the Arum's, Oscar's etc. Instead of griping and suing, how about investing some of the money you made back into the sport also. Haymon is taking a huge risk paying free networks to broadcast his shows. Arum talked about it lots, but never did it. Oscar never even talked about it.
The sport is so lowstream now, that I doubt Haymon's vision will be a big success in the long run, but at least he is trying. He might find a niche, but unless he captures some WOW factor in his shows, he will have a hard time capturing the "addicted" type of viewers.
