Haymon UK takeover

Exactly my thoughts when I seen that. Sounds like he hasn't even spoke with DeGale yet, he's not sure what it entails. I wonder if this means DeGale is off the September card?

Eddie will have to ask Al, smh.

Haymon's got Khan, Frampton and DeGale. I wonder if he will start signing the likes of Tyson Fury and George Groves.

Funny you mention capitalism. Haymon's laughing all the way to the bank with his investors money, not money earned. Big difference. The money he's paying out is far greater than the money he's bringing in = failed business.

thats how all start ups work what is youre point. obviously he is doing something right if they keep letting him spend their money

Looks like he's not too worried about it either. He's got his contract with DeGale and he's got a good working relationship with Haymon. Hearn is fine.

More like Joshua and Brook. I'm sure he's got Eddie sweating bullets.

4:20 Hearn says DeGale is still contracted with Matchroom.

Reading between the lines, it seems like Hearn was blindsided by this move. If anyone knows otherwise post some info.



Says he thinks Froch will retire.

Really? He said he has a great relation ship with al and that maybe now the Frampton fight is probable. and Hearn was the one that announced james signed with al. He said I will he working with Al

According to the article it was DeGale himself, and there no mention of Matchroom which was also highlighted in the article. Imo Hearn sounded a little out of the loop, trying to follow up with the situation. But maybe you're right, we'll see, time will tell.

I've worked for start-ups and in the real world when you take hundreds of millions in investor money there's accountability on a regularly scheduled basis.

It's still early, the PBC's completed the equivalent to one quarter. If you did a projection based on the current accomplishments (falling ratings and poor ticket sales, with no real movement on fighter branding) given the money spent on a per fight basis, they'd be talking about either replacing the people running the company or pulling the plug on the whole project. I expect those conversations to take place shortly after the second quarter.
