Warriors was just there on behalf of Haymon Boxing. They were not there as promoter of record.

Haymon Boxing... as in Haymon's promotional company?

**i'm a fun haver** · 05-20-2015, 08:53 PM

Haymon doesn't have a license to "advise" in Massachusetts? lol

**aldo5408** · 05-20-2015, 09:31 PM

Lol does all this even matter?

**artfuL_** · 05-20-2015, 09:35 PM

Haymon pays Warriors to win the purse bid and now he pays DiBella to promote the fight.

Haymon be paying everybody, he probably hands himself a paycheck

Well, it could have many possibilities. It's possible to transfer the rights of a fight to another promoter.
Maybe Warriors Boxing doesn't have a license to promote in MA.
I guess Warriors Boxing isn't big enough to to promote a big card with championship fights, DBE has the infrastructure.

Andre Dirrell has a promotional contract with DiBella Entertainment. From everything I've gathered, all of Al Haymon's fighters that are with his management group Haymon Boxing will soon be under Tom Brown's umbrella as he took over Goossen Promotions which is now known as TBG Promotions.

If Warriors boxing won the Degale/Dirrell purse bid, why is Lou Dibella promoting?
