"I applaud Bob Arum and Top Rank Boxing for stepping up on behalf of fighters not only in their own stable, but all across the sport. Those like Bob and myself who have spent the bulk of their lives around boxing understand that the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act is a crucial piece of legislation that serves to protect boxers and enhance the sport.

LMFAO at "Behalf Of The Fighters" this **** has nothing to do with the fighters, it is about Promoters wanting to make sure they still have a future in this sport if PBC is successful.

Haymon way of business makes Promoters Useless!

It makes boxing pretty useless too with the garbage product he's putting out.

If he was making great fights, he'd be easier to stand behind, but he's doing nothing for the sport except blocking fights, venues and overpaying his own fighters for medicore match-ups with other people's money.

Dude, he is making quality fights. Its as if some fans want every fight to be great. Do you know how lucky he'd have to be to have that happen?

As for blocking fights, this was his response to HBO banning him. What else did you expect him to do?
