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

[shoog]

All I can say is this killed a bunch of potential good fights, top of the list being ward. I guess Degale wanta the easy way out, maybe a match with sakio bika, then maybe in a few years will work up to a "superfight" with lucian bute. This is what you get with haymon, basically slap the mayweather formula on every boxer, and your left with alot of ****.

I noticed neither of you responded to Freedom's post.

Do you feel the same way about GGG/DeGale as you do DeGale/Quillin?

That's because my post had nothing to do with Freedoms.

I wasn't saying the fight won't happen. It just won't happen for Quillins debut at SMW

Ok, I am asking you how do you feel about GGG/DeGale given what you posted about DeGale/Quillin?

[The Big Dunn]

I think GGG would dispose of Quillin inside of three rounds and DeGale inside of six. Does that answer your concerns?

I do not think Golovkin should leave HBO as HBO is the true 'premier' outlet for boxing and where true champions fight and where boxing superstars are created.

No, it doesn't.

I asked you how you feel about GGG/Degale given what Freedom posted about DeGale/Quillin.

Well if HBO blocks him from getting fights he wants, why would he stay there? That seems counterproductive.

What is a "true" champion?

Well it's slightly different because Golvkin comfortably makes weight whereas Quillin struggles and even failed to make the weight against Lee.

But I'd still be as surprised if GGG moved up and faced DeGale for his first fight at SMW.

Later down the line both are doable but it's the notion of fighting a champ in your first bout at a new weight. Not inconceivable by any means but still unlikely.

ok. I was asking because Freedom listed GGG/DeGale as a fight that we were being robbed of by DeGale going to Haymon, suggested he thought it was a good fight.

You both kind of dismissed DeGale/Quillin. So I was just wondering if you felt the same about GGG/DeGale.

Appreciate the response.

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

You must be a new fan to the sport. Profits dictate politics which dictate match-making which dictates quality of fights. His fighters are paid from a hedge fund with no accountability in regards to what their fights would actually earn in a free-market.

A) Why would his fighters complain when they're overpaid.
B) They signed a contract with Haymon that prohibits them from publicly complaining.

Shut up kid.. It ain't your money ..worry about your bank account not Haymon or his fighters.. How can a non athletic blogger Who probably never been in a fight his Whole life tell a boxer Who risk his life that he's overpaid. Lmaoo you a blogger with no boxing skills how can you say someone overpaid.

I'm not even going to address point B.. Prove it or shut up

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

Do you have any evidence of B?

Nope just another pathetic excuse. They hate seeing a black man doing good

I don't think GGG-DeGale would be much of a fight. I think it would be quite short and DeGale would be outmatched against Golovkin. It's not a fight that I really have any interest in seeing other than to shut up the GGG haters.

ok. I didn't think GGG/DeGale was going to happen anyway. It doesn't seem as you would stop watching boxing, which is what you said degale/quillin would make you do.

They seem to be essentially the same thing.

you never responded to the other post-what is a true champion?
