    Then how can we forget the pure crap he put out last year. Most notably Garcia vs salka.

    Now that pbc is in full swing, the fights have gotten better but he's still not putting his best against his best. It has also isolated the sport even further as there are many quality fights we will not witness due to haymons rifts with hbo, GBP, and top rank.

    This has nothing to do with race but instead has to do with haymon trying to implement a hostile takeover of the sport that will only further damage it.
    Do me a favor & name me the promoter that's putting their best against their best. While you're at it, do you hold Duva accountable for Kov. V. Stevenson not happening this time around? We're getting Cotto v. Canelo, good fight but we know that isn't Bob's best. You got May. V. Pac, a Haymon fight, which was "best v. Best". So again, what promotee is giving you these 10 out of 10 fights? Kovalev v. Hopkins?

          Anyways I think it's his association with Floyd. Tards hate everything that has to do with Floyd like Ellerbe, J'Leon Love, Badou Jack, Mickey Bey, Broner, Berto, Alexander, the Watson twins, Roger and Sr., and of course Haymon.

              Know what you're talking about before trying to refute a post.

              Cotto vs Canelo not being Bob's best? Lol. Neither fighter is signed to top rank

              Floyd vs pac was a haymons doing? Lol. Wasn't aware pac was signed to haymon.

              Kov vs Stevenson isn't happening at the moment not because duva or kov doesn't want the fight. Its because of the politics behind it. If it goes to purse bid there is no way that duva can compete with haymon and would have to forfeit all power to him for the fight to take place. It should have happened when there was an agreement and before haymon stepped in and ruined all of Stevenson Stevenson career and momentum that he had going.

                Of course you have people who don't like him and part of the reason is because he is Black, that is just who those people are but I don't think it is many of them! I think it is far more who are just either upset and concerned that if PBC Works out WTF will happen to their fighter since their favorite fighter is currently not with PBC. Also think it is some who think that Haymon is all about Black Fighters because he is Black so they don't trust him because they don't think he will be "Fair" that is a form or racism as well.
                We kind of know what will happen, they'll just sign with PBC and fight C level comp.

                I can't hate someone I never met or held a conversation with, I never heard the man voice besides in one video in which he was congratulating Keith Thurman

                Everything I know about Haymon is strictly from what others SAY about him. I understand why HBO and his Competition hates him because he is making their job SO HARD because he Drive Up Prices for Fighters for other Promoters and Networks like HBO so yeah they're not going to like him.
                that's why I don't buy the race thing because this is the invisible man, pretty hard for people to be racist against someone they never see. His association with Mayweather is a better angle for explaining why some people are against him. Boxing fans are fickle though, if he gave them something of high quality they would soon warm to him imo.

                  None, I was born in the middle east and live in the US now and quite openly make fun of the "oppression" people pretend to experience here.

                  However, anyone can see the odd situation white Americans are in. You simultaneously insult them every chance you get because you're allowed to, then tell them they aren't allowed to have opinions because they "don't know what it's like to be so oppressed".

                  Guess what? If you were oppressed you wouldn't be allowed to behave like that to begin with. The whole "SHUT YO MOUTH YOU AINT ONE OF US!" tough guy routine would result in brutal/humiliating repercussions. Instead they sit there and clap like you're a cute baby.

                  It's like teenagers who think it's cool to cuss out their parents in public. You can't be 100% dependent on someone else then play it off like you're a big shot and **** on them all the time. Choose one or the other. Are you an oppressed wittle baby or are you an independent badass?

                      let the truth be told. as far a white supremacy. thats a bunch of racist cowards that are worried about another race when they should be proud of who their race is. black is beautiful and so is every other race that exist in its own right.
