Comments Thread For: PBC: Top Rank Lawsuit Is Entirely Without Merit

[FeFist]

I don't think people realise how ****** they look when they speak as though the term ''Harvard lawyer'' shuts down all opposing points.

They're not going to get an in depth response, to a 50 page article, in a couple of hours. What they get is a statement of intent (contesting the allegations) and a veiled threat of legal action (possible counter-suit for filing a frivolous claim and for defamation).

The suit claims that Haymon runs business operations through the use of a flip phone.

Do you know how hard it is to type a bunch of paragraphs on a flip phone? You crazy.

Client of mine still uses flip phone and his reasoning is cause in todays world the art of conversation has died and when he conducts business he wants people to talk to him and not text. Email ok but even then he wants an actual person talking to him explaining things, most of the time face to face. And hes not that old, in his 50's.

Not sure if this is why Al does this but i didnt read that and laugh or think anything bad

arum and de la hoya are jealous. we finally get boxing back on the free networks and here we go. al haymon knows what he's doing. he and the networks has each others trust. let the fans enjoy this.

I didn't like Haymon but then I saw his master plan and now I would much rather him win out than TR. TR has ruined boxing and their argument is that they make big fights. Seems like those fights should be made anyways plus a whole lot more. PBC is putting fights on without PPV and making boxing more exciting again. Top Rank move over and get out the way itch!!!

Haymon is slick and more of a boxing pimp

Haymon wants to put GBP and Oscar and Arum and HBO out of the boxing business. Free fights help the average Joe. Greed rules Arum and Oscar. good for haymon and for having free fights. Haymon has his plantation fighters under his control and thinks for all of them. Most fighters are not very smart and lack schooling and common sense. haymon thinks for his boxers then puts them in the fields err ring.

I knew this PBC would never work, instead of helping boxing, it further divided it.

People just jumped on the bandwagon because they're FLoyd fans.

Real Boxing fans loose out.


Theres only a very few top tier fighters on PBC. Thats Thurman/Guerrero/KHAN.

Garcia, who knows when he's coming back to fight at the level he left after the Mathysse fight.


Thats only three, the other guys are unproven or porspects. Once those guys fight each other, it's over. They cant' replay the same movie over and over again.

The response to that lawsuit didn't even get 16 bars. lol

[R_Walken]

PBC will reign supreme.

That's what I'm thinking

So their answer to a Harvard lawyers 50 page lawsuit was 3 sentences that can be summarized into "our boxing is free doe,you guys are just jealous." No factual basis,no educated rebutal based on specific points in the arguement, just a weak deflective statement that was probably given by the companies printer repairman, rather than haymon himself.

I think Haymon also went to Harvard, I'd like to think his team is equally educated and doesn't consist solely of the Watsons

This is war as far as businesses is concerned, put your helmet on there's about to be allot of body bags soon.

Haymon Is A Don King-Like Snake-Seeking A Monopoly On Boxing

Saw this coming a mile away. What took so long. Selling the public on "free Boxing", yet has been snaking around to control more than 200 fighters at last count, verbiage in fighters contracts they defer all discussions and opponent choices to Haymon, seeking to control all prime time networks with "free Boxing", and controlling sparring partners who may be available to opponents, ALL the while Al Haymon refuses to speak with Media and never show up at fights or in public. Al is like a pimp hoarding hookers. He'll get exposed here. This is not just about GBP or TR. this is about the good of Boxing.

[MasterPlan]

The one thing I don't get, why did Arum wait until after the May-Pac fight?

Why do business with this man who is so shady?
