Is Al Haymon good for Boxing???

[Eff Pandas]

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.

I didn't even know Pacquiao vs Algieri, Alvarez vs Kirkland & Ward vs Smith were PBC fights. Wow Haymon is busier than I thought.

Everyone in boxing throws out **** fights lets quit rewriting what everyone not named Al Haymon is doing. They all have been doing it forever. Its probably in Chapter 1 of the textbook Boxing Promotion 101. And every promotion deals with others as much as they have to. The more powerful your promotion the less you gotta play with others, the less powerful your promotion the more you gotta play with others.

Then DON'T WATCH. That's the beauty of the marketplace. You can choose what products you want.

Watch Top Rank, HBO, GB whatever, ignore the PBC that's your choice. If PBC fails, that means it was a bad product for the market. If it succeeds it was good for boxing.

This is the bottom line *Steve Austin voice*

I will say I felt Tyson Promotions was good for boxing, but they went under so idk if this is an exact science or if they just had too many internal issues that led to their collapse (as I believe), but they were throwing together some good ****.

He is good for the fighters right up to the point his investment money runs out. At that point, the fighters will be having to settle for empty purses because there will be no money to pay them. Let's see how happy the fighters are then.

Yeah, heard folks claiming the same thing way back when Berto was (allegedly) being overpaid at HBO. And that was before the 400 mil plus of new investment bread.

Keep hoping though.

I'm loving all the boxing we've been getting. I don't think it will last but i'm enjoying it while it's here.


Hopefully it does last.

I'm at the point where I no longer bother watching PBC fights unless it is really a decent matchup, and even then I will usually stream it on my PC and watch something else on my TV at the same time. IF something actually happens, like a fight gets exciting or something, a rare thing on PBC, I will switch over if it is a channel that is available in Canada and part of my cable package. I will not go out of my way to watch PBC or invite my friends over like I do for a fight night on HBO.

I don't think he is good for boxing. With all the power he has managing over 200 top boxers he could be good for boxing but he isn't. I believe he manages Brook, Thurman, Garcia, Porter and Khan. That is most of the best welterweights in the world. If I made a mistake and he doesn't one or more of these fighters I am sorry. Anyway these fighters should be fighting each other for good, exciting even matchups. These fights should also be happening to show how these good young welterweights compare with each other and who should be champ. Guess what! They never fight each other. They all say they will fight whoever Haymon lines up for them to fight. So what the *** is Haymon's problem. Why aren't his fighters fighting each other when they are high ranked guys in the same weight class? Why did he get such garbage fights for Khan, Thurman and Garcia?????? Right now from what I've seen he is not good for boxing. The best almost never fight the best when Haymon is in control.

Sorry, I meant to say if Haymon doesn't manage any of the fighters I said he managed then I apologize for the mistake

just look at the guys he has at 175: Stevenson, beterbiev, bute, fonfara, alvarez, Chavez jr and none of them are fighting each other. he also won't let Stevenson or beterbiev fight on hbo. just look at the guys he has at 147::floyd,thurman,porter,garcia,khan, maidana and none of them are fighting each other and none of them can fight on hbo so no he is not good for boxing.
