Is Al Haymon good for Boxing???

[Murder1]

Screw Al Haymon. I'd rather have Triple Duck vs Monroe Jr/Adama II on PPV. Or better yet, Back-out-of-a-purse-bid Kovalev vs Mohammedi, or #48 vs Algeria. No better cards than a Top Stank card.

Seriously, nobody fights #1 p4p fighters every fight. How many cab drivers did Chavez Sr fight? Salka was better than all the jobbers The Sr One fought.
Al Haymon is doing good things for boxing. The only ones mad are Floyd haters, #48, and Triple Duck fans.

Who do you think Al Hanson got his blueprint from GBP and Top rank. The have a big fight every 6 months sometimes longer.

Anyone trying something new in boxing is good for boxing. PBC, APB & BKB are all good for boxing cuz they seem to be the people who are actually bringing some creativity & something new to the sport. Whether any of these things survive long term isn't really important, but them being around right now can influence change for the better in a highly flawed sport that could use some improvements.

Great For The Fighters! Bad for other Networks, Promoters and Managers because he is driving up the prices for the fighters big time and I don't see others being able to Maintain and keep their fighters Happy because they don't have that type of money to throw around

Take Kell Brook for example, Broner and Porter both got $1 Million to fight each other (Broner over $1 Million), I think Kell Brook biggest purse is something like $200-300K for the Porter fight? I'm sure he did not get much for Frankie Gavin and mind you, he is the IBF Champion and rated higher than both Broner and Porter. Thurman, Khan, Porter, Guerrero, Broner, all get no less than $1 Million every time they fight.Leo Santa Cruz gets like $750k and that was for Undercard fights for Wilder vs Stiverne and Mayweather vs Pacquiao.

So yeah he is Great For The Fighters and if the Fighters Approve then it is really nothing we can say or do about it

Unless you're a boyfriend, brother, father of the these fighters, it should not be a concern for fans whether Haymon is good or bad for the fighters. This is contact sport not tennis or golf. It just makes you look ****** talking about how much they make. All you should be concerned about are meaningful fights, period. Otherwise, start switching to tennis or golf. You don't belong in this sport.

I understand he pays the fighters good. He gets them reasonably easy opponents and helps them keep their "0" on the boxing record. BUT he doesn't seem to make me as a fan happy. Every time I hear a fight promoted by Haymon or managed by Haymon, I almost cringe every time now. I understand a lot of people may not like Golden Boy Promotions or Top Rank for whatever other reasons but they have waaaaaay better match ups. Even when Bob Arum went to China, he found some decent boxers to make exciting fights.

I think Haymon is cherry picking his fighters for more money in the future but at only our expense. I'll give you another example, this last fight Danny Garcia vs Malanaggi. I would have never matched them up. Paulie is old already and he's not really a true 147 pound fighter. He's not a big puncher. Danny has had a lot of negative feed back lately because of his previous fights and he fights Paulie?? Really??
Paulie even went out of his way to thank Al Haymon for the pay day. After that interview I saw it for what it was. A payday for a boxer and not giving a **** about us fans. Al Haymon refuses to entertain us.

He needs to change things up immediately because a lot of us fans are getting disappointed with his match ups.

al gaymon is a cancer to boxing

al gaymon is a cancer to boxing.the worst thing that could happen to the sport has killed a lot of good fights.gaymon refuses to work with other promoters like TOP RANK golden boy and jay z to make the best possible fights.pbc is just a bunch of mismatches.

[GMAN SUPREME]

He's good for his fighter's pockets. That's all I can say he's good for

LOL tell that to qullin who he forced to turn down a 1.4 million dollar fight against korobov.

[#CaneloKhan]

Of course not, his monkey ass dont know how to run an organization, hell his people dont know how period just look at Detroit.

6 months in and PBC seems very disorganized and has done nothing to capture the attention of the casuals.

I believe Haymon is good for his fighters by getting them inflated paydays for mediocre fights, but its still too soon to see the impact he has on the sport as a whole.

So far he's helped to further divide the sport if anything.

Again, 17 cards in a 6 month period broadcast across literally every major network and sports channel/platform on multiple days and at various times of those days.

Just saying.
