Oh Ok I get what he is saying, seems like it is more about Clarification.I can totally understand how the "Adviser" thing can be confusing because yeah Haymon is the Manager for some but only the Adviser to other fighters which I think can be very confusing

So it sounds to me like they want new Rules and to make sure that Haymon is not getting away with being a Manager and Promoter at the same time. Still think it is some Bitterness and Concern from the "Have Nots" involved who are feeling a bit left out and a bit nervous about where the direction of boxing is going and why fighters are jumping to him Weekly.

If Haymon create his own Belts yes that is bad for the WBO, if Haymon continue to add fighters to his stable and eventually close the gate and have his fighters fight only each other then that is Awful for other Promotions like GBP who just so happen to have fighters in Divisions that includes A LOT of GBP Fighters

Is that a boxing article or an advertisement for the PPV and the next Terminator POS movie that is coming out soon?

Everybody knows Haymon is circumventing the rules. One by one more promoters and organizations are going to join in the lawsuit. It's obviously to anyone with 2 eyes he's using this phony advisor title as a loop hole when he is both promoter and manager for his fighters clear violation of the Ali Act. I'm sure his investors are upset that they are now linked to this lawsuit. But the man stays in hiding and has been sued left and right by other promoters and usually he is forced to pay them millions to settle. But this time I don't think he can just write a check and make this go away. He's taking food off a lot of people's plate and created many stop gaps for fights. This was bound to happen when the government gets involved.
