Comments Thread For: Team Beterbiev's Response To Kovalev's Promoter

[The Big Dunn]

No because i have mention multiple fighters and promoters that do not have deals with HBO and still those fights aren't made. Why isn't Khan fighting Brook? Lemiuex just fought his previous fight on Fox and does not have a contract with HBO. Why weren't any Haymon fighters trying to fight him? Andre Ward and Cotto both could fight on other networks but why isn't any haymon fighters trying to fight him. Stevenson said he turning down the Kovalev deal because he wanted to get a bigger deal by fighting Hopkins who had no deal with HBO at the time. Why didn't that fight happen? Instead we got Kovalev fighting Hopkins, fighting Pascal and trying to fight Beterbiev meanwhile who has Stevenson been fighting? This aint an accident. He is not even trying to fight Beterbiev nor is any of the rest of the top fighters in Haymon stable fighting each other.

Like someone else said it's basically Haymon vs every other major player in boxing. But it's HBO's fault that non HBO contracted fighters Haymon wants nothing to do with. And on PBC broadcast they only mention Haymon fighters? Again it ain't blackball when you are secluding yourself from the rest of the sport.

Those promotters do not have the same platforms as Haymon so they have to go where the opportunities are. That is the same thing Haymon is doing-going where the opportunities are. There are none for him on HBO because they blackballed him.

It's Haymon v HBO-duva, Tr and GBP just joined in for fear of getting blown away. I get that.

Haymon is not going to give TR, GBP or Duva fighters exposure on PBC since they have exposure on HBO, who has banned him. Again, just like with GBP if HBO lifts the ban, things can change.

Haymon hasn't secluded himself. DIbella, K2 and every other major promoter has no issues with him.

Why are you so afraid of someone competing with HBO?

You sound dumb Haymon was the center of this beef. Once Haymon was removed now all a sudden GB and Top Rank make fights. Just like at first Golden Boy was banned from HBO once Haymon was removed HBO has no problem working with Golden Boy. Funny how that works right? The fact that all these en****** can get along and play nice when Haymon isn't involved is not an accident.

Haymon had no involvement with Mares/Donaire not getting done at 122. Stop being a network stan.

Blatant lie and the Quillen fiasco proves it. He got problems with Roc Nation, Top Rank, GB, Duva, HBO ect

He has no problems with Roc Nation, he and Jay-z/beyonce had issues in another industry. when did they become a major promotional outfit?

HBO and their affiliates TR/GBP/MAin events-that is all.

Haymon is boxing's Quatto.

[The Big Dunn]

As I said it doesn't matter who did it or for what reason, fact is, HBO has many major promoters on their side, him being seperated for whatever reason be it HBO's doing or his own is costing us big time. And nobody wants to deal with that guy so purse bids don't help the issue.

If it's choosing between HBO and Haymon, give me the former any time, the lesser of the two evils.

Not to mention he even has problems with Roc Nation and is creating further rift with his new belts, let's face it, the guy is not good for the sport, period.

OK, then tell HBO to fix the issue same as they did with GBP. He has no issue with Roc Nation-he had a lawsuit with beyonce/jayz in another industry.

he has no new belts created so WTF are you talking about?

The choice is watching boxing on all channels or only watching it on one. If your choice is HBO, so be it.

Purse bids make fights happen.

They fixed the issues with GBP once Haymon was out of the picture. What a coincidence.

[MDPopescu]

... Is he paying you to post here? ... like $0.2 per post?

Well.......GBP was completely destroyed and became Canelo and friends. He had no other choice but to make up with everybody else.

The problem with you guys is you want HBO to win. You're team HBO. So you don't see that both sides are full of **** and bad for the sport.

No problems yet he forced one of his fighters to vacate a belt after losing out on the purse bid to Roc Nation for a fight Haymon wanted? And they became a major player when they signed Cotto one of the top 3-5 most popular fighters in sport right now. And signed the number 3 p4p fighter in the world Ward. If he has no problems with Roc Nation why isn't he trying to match any of his fighters with Cotto or Ward?

ODH did that out of necessity because his company had nothing left. He did that to survive, which was a smart move. Haymon isn't in such a weakened position he has boxers, resources and TV outlets.

If you want HBO to win, so be it.
