Hearn can still get the promotion rights for Degale. Even if Degale is with his advisor Al Haymon.

Hearn's still the promoter, but now Haymon has say on the opponents. If Haymon insists on crap opponents, it's on Eddie to try and sell that to the public. And when it comes time to make the Groves fight, Haymon suddenly sucks away 15-20% of the profits.

eddie hearn would do himself a favor getting promo licenses in the state..but then again he could put on degale and frampton cards in the UK with great success..but is the pbc team going to travel?? or is haymon stepping outside of pbc himself??

andre dirrell part 2 should happen now

Al Haymon is like this mystical figure and commands a cult following of fighters. It's really remarkable how so many fighters are attracted to this man. What does he do that so ****ing great?
