[SchoolTheseCats]

Lol you guys crack me up look at the debacle arum and co just did to pacman was haymon a crook when him and Schaffer was keeping GB afloat and winning Cold War while Oscar was out snorting coke and putting on his hookers clothing other then the pac vs Marquez series it was haymon and Schaffer that had hands in biggest fights during that time frame just look at all the posters that comments are negative about haymon they all hate Floyd anyone associated with Floyd automatically gets dislike lol you guys true colors are showing

I don't see anything Haymon is doing wrong with the Ali Act or with the often talked about monopoly claim. If anything HBO should be in this lawsuit on Haymon's side if Oscar was really trying to do right by boxers cuz I see very lil difference in what Haymon does vs what HBO does. HBO just favors guys in Oscar's position & Haymon favors boxers.

Big difference HBO is just a network. And we NEVER hear fighters call HBO their promoter like Haymon fighters constantly slip up and do. Plus all HBO fighters are signed to an actual promoter. Fighters are signed to Haymon but officially have no promoter which is shady and adds to the claim. And the lawsuit just came out who is to say HBO won't join in? Already WBO and ABC have joined in Golden Boy's lawsuit of Haymon. Trust more promoters and organizations will follow. He is clearly more then just an adviser you have to be blind to not see that.

I could care less about him being with floyd. I care about Haymon stopping fights from happening and putting out a crappy product. And part of Golden Boy's lawsuit is that Haymon is actually a promoter so the fact that none of his fighters are signed to a promoter and all of them constantly slip up and refer to him as their promoter in interviews hurts Haymon in this case.

Haymon having the dual role of manager and promotor is well known or at least that is the way it has looked. The problem will be to seperate or rather define the words 'manager' and 'advisor'. If GBP can prove that they are identical in practice, Haymon is in trouble.

Haymon is a licensed manager, and subject to the laws that cover managers, regardless of what he calls himself

Monopolies are not and will never be good for anything. Once all the fighters are part of his stable, what will happen? Who will say how much money can be earned?, Al Haymon? And if there is not other promoter, where can a boxer look for a fight? Can we expect to see fighters like Leo Santa Cruz? What happened to Leo Santa Cruz vs. Guillermo Rigondeaux? Monopoly = dictatorship (Dictatorship is a form of government where political authority is monopolized by a single person or political entity, and exercised through various mechanisms to ensure the entity's power remains strong. A dictatorship is a type of authoritarianism, in which politicians regulate nearly every aspect of the public and private behavior of normal people. Dictatorships and totalitarianism generally employ political propaganda to decrease the influence of proponents of alternative governing systems, as is the nature of nationalism of any governing system.) I like my freedom. Let's protect the fighters and their freedom.

Al Haymon should keep doing his manager thing but greed is a b1tch.

Good on you GBP, I hope you win this court battle.

One bad year in 2014 which was a bad year of boxing overall like haymon is only one who has fighters signed and its haymon fault lol he obviously not the promoter because he using other promoters licenses to stage fight them fighters can call haymon daddy does it mean it's true if that's Oscar claim for filing suit he ***ed every fight we wanted in 2014 we gotten so far in 2015 except for Krusher vs superman and we know who is the issue this time around also Networks signing fighters to exclusive deals and then kicking all said fighters off network is a big issue

[The Gambler1981]

Haymon doesn't have anything like a monopoly in boxing, he doesn't have that much control over the sport. If he was making it so someone couldn't box at all, black balling them then that would be some anti-trust stuff, he isn't even close to that.


I don't see how Oscar has much standing for that Ali stuff, since isn't that about taking advantage of fighters it would have to be his fighters that would bring something like that.
