Comments Thread For: James DeGale Signs Advisory Pact With Al Haymon

[BWC]

Only if you're American. DeGale is British and has featured on numerous big cards this side of the water.

Right but no offense, but Murica is where the cash is, let's be real.

[Chrismart]

So no Ward vs DeGale. Welp.

Yeah, that kind of sucks.
Outside of Ward the only other SMW fight for DeGale that excited my is Groves II.

PBC on ITV lol. Hearn really would be crying into his chips.

Advisory pact probably isn't that strong, Matthysse walked away from his.



Who does Haymon have at 168? Dirrell bros, Jack, Bika? Sauerland have Groves, Matchroom have Froch, Roc have Ward.

I can't see who DeGale wanted to fight, nah it's about money. JDG was shocked by the million dollars Haymon put up for the Dirrell bout.

I was speaking in general terms about why so many fighters are signing with Haymon. I agree it doesnt help DeGale all that much when Hearn has many of the best 168lbs in his stable.

War DeGale! War Haymon! War Boxing!

for Ward

Possibly no Froch, Golovkin, Ward, Groves, Abraham, Ramirez

Potentially the Dirrells, Bika, Jack, Chavez or maybe some bums.

Do you have any evidence of B?

One contract obtained by SI was between Haymon and featherweight Marcos Forestal, a Cuban defector with some 300 amateur bouts whom Haymon ultimately let go. It granted sole discretion concerning Forestal's career to Haymon and includes a termination clause should the boxer ever make comments that reflect "unfavorably" on Haymon in any news outlet.

Why does DeGale signing with Haymon prevent these fights? Other than GGG, who is an HBO exclusive fighter.

If HBO will not work with DeGale now, is that Haymon's fault?

[Chrismart]

Possibly no Froch, Golovkin, Ward, Groves, Abraham, Ramirez

Potentially the Dirrells, Bika, Jack, Chavez or maybe some bums.

Yep, the 2nd list of options isn't exactly 'edge of the seat' stuff is it mate.

[Barcham]

The Dirrells both lost their titles and Haymon needed a SMW to match Quillin against. Look for DeGale - Quillin in his SMW debut.

[The Hammer]

So no Degale-Ward or DeGale-Golovkin.

Haymon is killing the sport of boxing.

Why does DeGale signing with Haymon prevent these fights?

Ward's promoter and Haymon are the worst of enemies.
