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

[TLC8]

Uh no ...they have a few good fights but Al is loaded and every week they get better and better

Check the ratings clown, do your homework. After the great ratings Thurman & Guerrero had, ratings on "free tv" have really tanked. HBO is still the leader in Championship Boxing, and it's not even close.

well golovkin vs a guy thats -10000 should end in a ko.. Hbos matchmaking hasnt been so spectacular like everyone is pretending

HBO Boxing fell off a while ago. Floyd signing with Showtime was offically the end.

Sorry GGG and Kovalev fighting tomato cans is not compelling boxing. Neither is Tim Bradley, Provodnokov, ALgeri, etc...

To Kovalev's credit, his fights with Hops and Pascal were compelling, but HBO has a long way to go before they are the cream of the crop again.

HBO matchmaking has been in the toilet for quite some time now.

Rios vs Alvarado, Pac vs. Algeri, Tim Bradley vs anybody, GGG vs tomato cans, random foreign fighter against random foreign fighter, etc... was not compelling.

I'll take Danny Garcia vs Lucas Matthyse level fights any and every time over HBO's garbage. They need to find a good match maker.

The UFC is embarrassing HBO Boxing when it comes to quality matchups and stacked cards.

Because you don't jeopardize the biggest sporting event in history, just like Manny not canceling the fight over his shoulder not fully healing. The biggest payday in everyone's career (fighters/promoters/trainers/networks/hotels)... If you make waves and the fight is called off, it may not ever come around again, so you have that pressure to just get thru it. Arum & Haymon hate each other, so the likelihood of them working together after the May-Pac fight is zero. So now the timing makes sense, and you could see this coming anyway. Haymon makes Arum look like a choir boy. He's a real thug.

You clearly dont know who Bob Arum is..

Haymon has these dudes shook....


Wasn't haymin doing exactly what he is doing now, for many years but was using gbp.. As soon as he dropped gbp and started working with the likes of dibella, etc and buying TV time, old school gangsters of boxing are scared to death...


Honestly, what is he doing any different, than what's been going on for over a decade...
Haymon just traded gbp and showtime for dibella and network TV...

PBC is guilty of what Top Rank has done of making in-house shït fights, but thats not against the law. what PBC might be breaking the law in would be the Muhammad Ali Act.

**** arum!

Al Haymon is really stepping on some toes. First, Golden Boy files a lawsuit. Now its Top Rank. Haymon is forcing everyone, from promoters to networks, to change the way they do business and the good ole boys network doesn't like it. After ***** was elected president, all the racists started saying, "we want our country back." Bob Arum and Oscar De La Hoya (and HBO, which I am sure is backing them) are now saying, "we want our monopoly back."

When the lawsuits fail, I guess the next step will be to go after the investment firm that is funding PBC.

Totally ****ing clueless, aren't you? The investment firm is already named in the lawsuit. You obviously have not even bothered to inform yourself on the subject you are posting about. You just saw Haymon and lawsuit in the title and jumped in like a blind follower to cheer for big Al.

War Arum...get yours...destroy Haymon!!!!!!

Nah just kidding...Arum Haymon all these sanctioning bullshlt bodies and promotion companies can go straight to hell.

All fighters should just start promoting themselves. And *** the belts. If the feds would step in and give Boxing a federation a lot of this will stop.

When have the "Feds" ever stepped in and started a sporting organization..


NBA, mbl, Fifa, NBA, NASCAR, PGA, NHL, UFC. are all privately founded, owned and controlled organizations...

Is this the best you can do, blockhead? ******ed individuals like you think that, because you can count on you can count to ten on your fingers, you are qualified to teach physics. Everyone knows that Arum an De L Hoya are suing the investment company that is backing Haymon. After Arum loses that suit, he will try pulling political strings and using dirty political tactics such as arranging for the SEC or other banking regulators to open unwarranted investigations on the PBC's investment company, convincing the IRS to investigate them or trying to convince investors to sever ties with the company.


This is what bitter white men do when they have exhausted all their options in trying to hurt their enemy. Of course, you are too much of a Forest Gump clone to comprehend something like this, so all you can do is attack me with comments like, "Totally ****ing clueless, aren't you?" If you are not enough proof to convince your family that in-breeding is wrong, I don't know what would would!!!!!!
