Does it say "Purse 4/18/15"?

In and of itself, that isn't conclusive of any wrong doing. My knowledge on how the relationship is governed isn't great but it could be a simple case of Al Haymon, as his agent, accepting the payment before passing it on this client.

It's also worth pointing out that the above reflects company's. Irrespective of their name, it is not proof that the payment was made by Al Haymon. Companies have their own legal identity: they would need to prove the company is shell and that Al Haymon is pulling the strings.

It is a legitimate anti-trust lawsuit filed by Top Rank, Al Haymon is monopolizing the pro boxing industry. If this goes to federal court, Haymon will most likely lose. Arum is a top notch Harvard lawyer and knows the law, having Petro representing TR gives them a leverage. Haymon is a businessman and there is no need for this to go to the court unless the feds opens its own investigation.

Looks like TR has one more lawsuit to file. Bye bye Vanes.

Isn't vanes with haymon now? I'm calling bs on that. It might of had some sort of credibility if he said it earlier but now that its "coming to light" after the lawsuit was made public its just rubbish. Expect a lot of haymon fighters come to his aid, especially formally signed with TR who jumped ship

If Ali act violations were easy to prove we'd know of some cases where it has been proven. Like you said, So far no one that I know of has gotten out of a promotional contract based upon it. Remember that's what its for. For fighters to sue promoters, not for promoters to sue advisers. Also, how do you know that Haymon gets all the revenue? Mayweather promotions got theirs in the May/Pac fight.

You may want it to be painfully clear that Haymon is violating the act, but so far it doesn't seem like a clear violation, but hey thats what cases are for. I don't see Arum or GB winning tho

The Ali Act permits a fighter to act as his own promoter. It does NOT permit a manager to act as a promoter.

Top Rank must have a lot of time to waste....

[Weebler I]

This is exactly what is going to happen, with these Lawsuits you're opening up the Flood Gates and a lot of dirty laundry on all sides will be EXPOSED

Hey Bob, how do I feel about losing Chavez Jr to Haymon, and having him post his paycheck to social media: pic.twitter.com/R9wB6iRQ91

Haymon Sports LLC is the official company for Haymon's PBC effort; if you actually looked at the check, you would see that Haymon's company is, in essence, acting as a pass through to Chavez Jr's company.

Showtime's rights fee goes to Haymon Sports, which is then paid out to Chavez Jr's company.

Bob Arum needs one of these

I'm surprised at the number of fighters he has in his stable. I didn't know what was that much. The thing I don't like about the guy, is he doesn't appear to be open to fighting boxers from other stables . So for instance GGG, cannot fight Quillin And others.

Golovkin is with HBO; basically as simple as that. HBO not doing business with Haymon is the only real barrier; Top Rank is the house promoter for HBO, Golden Boy has moved their only marketable star to HBO, as is the case with K2 and Main Events. If you're locked into doing business with HBO or HBO-affiliates, Haymon isn't in your view.

In case people forget Chris Algieri fought in the main event of the PBC on Spike card against Amir Khan with no issue (Algieri didn't have to sign a contract with Haymon and Star Boxing, after fulfilling their obligations to Banner Promotions, who have a symbiotic relationship with Top Rank as is, was free to look for the best opportunity for their fighter without having to owe anyone anything, win or lose).

You look at the actual fight cards, and you see fighters from his banner, but also other smaller promoters getting their own fighters on these shows.
