good for him, I never liked haymond from the start. the only people who is cool with this are the floyd fans or the people who liked to get suckered from watching a good fight.

Dayum, Oscar throwing bombs

This is the bitter b1tch talking. What Haymon clients are exploited? Hard to say that when his #1 client is highest paid athlete in the world. The Ali act doesn't say every promoter had to work together.

Let the case play out. Big #'s are just making Haymon haters get their d*ck hard. Let's see how it goes.

I predicted this was going to happen from the first day PBC started being posted about and everyone said I was dreaming and that no one would ever go up against him and that Haymon was untouchable.

Well I was right about the first part so let's see if my further predictions about Haymon not being untouchable turn out to be on the mark as well.

Glad to see someone finally put a stop to this fool, I'm tired of seeing all these crap fights he puts up. I'm glad he brought back boxing to regular tv but the fights are garbage. He doesn't want to put up any good fights, yet wants to build up an already good fighter and charge PPV for him against a bum. Dude is garbage and bad for boxing. Look at who Wilder is fighting next? Why is wilder fighting a bum after winning a major title? Look at Khan?

We watch as GB promotions makes its final cry before its death. The 300 million they are suing for is gonna be the main reason a judge will throw it out. Because that is way beyond a ridiculous amount of money to ask for.

If this suit had any sense TR would try to get involved as well. GBP needs to hurry up and go under so Oscar can get depressed and OD on coke.

It was about time. Everybody knows haymon is more then just a manager or advisor. Everyone knows he is double dipping and actually a promoter. It was only a matter of time before the lawsuits and do the government got involved. Haymon is the stop gap to many great fights and is not working with other promoters. He has created a lot of enemies.

People saying Oscar has no case and wont see any money but they said the same thing last year. Oscar already sued Haymon last year and forced him to pay reportedly over 10mil. Arum sued him this year and forced him to pay for Chavez Jr. These are legit lawsuits that's why he keeps paying. But this time might cripple Haymon. I'm sure his investors are upset that they are linked. And no doubt other promoters will join in the suit. The different boxing organizations have either joined in the suit or publicly supported the suit.

Haymon and his plans for a corny UFC knock off are blowing up in his face.

I'm pulling hard for Oscar De La Hoya and Golden Boy Promotions on this one. I hope they win this case, I wish Oscar the best of luck.

Unless Oscar get fighters that's signed with haymon or promoters that help stage events with haymon he has no proof just a bunch of claims last ditch to try to save his dying company and I'm calling for Kirkland for upset really **** on Oscar

Look. I will admit I have no clue if this crosses the legal boundaries or not. A court looks like it will decide. What does sound like pettiness to me is Oscar saying that he is suing to protect the fighters and in the lawsuit he is seeking $300 million in damages. Is that going to the fighters? Oscars lawsuit has nothing to do with "the fighters" and everything about Oscar.

ll that being said I think we are all about to get an education on the legal nuances of the Ali act.
