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

I love HBO. I have the theme song from the late 90s and early 2000s on my hard drive.

Imagine no Haymon, huh? Guess we would have got the following fights:

Mares/Donaire
Mares/Rigondeaux
Khan/Bradley
Guerrero/Bradley
Maidana/Bradley
Maidana/Rios
Matthysse/Rios


Newsflash, boxing has ****** for over a decade now.

I love HBO as well, man, it used to be so freaking awesome.

or ODH was too busy with lingerie, ******* and penis and got distracted. I'm sure you can relate to these distractions.

How you feel about Al's ****** fetish though?

If you think reduced budget is the only reason they're not dealing with him you're being naive.

All I know is if the real issue is seeing the fights we want-HBO lifting the ban on haymon helps resolve this issue. That would make a lot of fights possible.

If the issue is something else-like HBO facing competition-well there is no way to stop that from happening.

To each his own. Unlike ODH he didn't let coke, cock and womens underwear distract him from his business.

Just make sure you remember what really caused ODH's problems.

Cotto/Canelo is being planned. I expect Floyd/cotto if cotto wins. Ward is looking to fight GGG, amuch bigger fight than anyone Haymon has at 168/160, except Stevenson at 175.

TR is not working on any fights with Roc Nation, neither is main events at the moment. do they also have "problems" or "issues" with Roc nation?

You didn't show there are any problems with haymon/roc nation.

Pure BS and you know it. Now you are denying there is a rift between Haymon and Roc Nation? Haymon forced his fighter to vacate and turn down a career payday to avoid him working with Roc Nation for no reason? Then another fighter just filed a lawsuit claiming the beef is so real he was offered basically offered a bribe to not appear on a haymon card. And Cotto and Ward been signed yet NONE of the haymon fighters speak on trying to fight either. Every middleweight in the world wants Cotto's belt yet Quillen and Jacobs ignore them? Same with Ward. Other fighters from other promoters have called out both Cotto and Ward and tried to make those fights yet none of the long list of stable fighters from Haymon have done so? You don't vacate belts and have your name in lawsuits if there is no rift.

Cotto was in talks to fight Mayweather BEFORE he signed to Roc Nation. Since then neither talks about the other. That fight has zero chance happening now.

Unfortunately, I don't think that's possible. Haymon has been at the centre of their problems and the damage is irrepairable. He's got to go, and the only way for that to happen is for his PBC masterplan to fail, but that will create many problems of its own.

WTF? What damage, other than the 8+ million Floyd PPV's that HBO would have had all the money from.

If HBO gets rid of Herschman, the next guy might allow Haymon back.

You don't even know what the plan is, yet you want it to fail.

you are right about the events, but there is no report of problems, that is pure speculation designed to make it seem non HBO affiliated promoters have issues with Haymon.

So fighters not calling out ward and cotto means there is a rift. That makes absolutely no sense dude.

You seem more upset that PBC will possibly succeed and force HBO to step up or go away.

If you are truly a boxing fan, and things play out and HBO goes away AND you to see all the fights you want. what would be wrong with that?

The damage in their relationship is irrepairable, the rift that's been created between the two is too wide. His plan is to build a boxing empire, that much is clear. However, he's failing at it, the fights are not catching people's interest, he's continuing the Haymon tradition and it's not going to work, he can't have it all.

But he's too greedy, and that will ultimately prove to be his downfall. If PBC fails, he might step away from boxing and we'll finally be able to enjoy the sport once more.

His plan, which you do not know, is 6 months in and seems to be going well. So well that GBP/TR/Duva have sued him hoping to stop him that way. We haven't even had the best fights, Floyd or Wilder on PBC yet.

If he succeeds and you get the fights you want, what would be wrong with that? why wouldn't you enjoy that as a boxing fan?
