    Yeah an analogy is supposed to have correlating factors that paralleled comparisons can be drawn upon. Haymon's job is to get his clients fights. So what Jermall Charlo said about Haymon doing a good job, although people speak ill about how he does his job, makes perfect logical sense. Hitler's job was to lead the **** party in global conquest and ethnic genocide. So the poster using an analogy of a sixteen year old forgiving Hitler of his sins because he bought him a car does not correlate. Because Hitler is not the teenager's father. Therefore, it is not his job to buy the kid a car. If he would have said that "Hitler isn't such a bad guy. Because as an SS officer I commend his conquest strategy. And I find his torture and genocide techniques to be very effective" then maybe his analogy would have made some sense. Comprendé..?

      Problem is, 98% of fans dont care what is beneficial to the boxer or how Haymon gets them big money fights for facing crap opponents. Fans want to see good competitive entertaining fights.

On the whole tv stuff people keep writing off the fact boxing was on OTA before PBC if you could bother to turn on captions for translation. I do believe Haymon and company are building up a fight footage catalog and trying to roll out some streaming software behind it like the russian that owns the nets did with that stadium. Personally I don't see PBC as something Haymon will helm for two decades, this is a build marketshare and sell strategy that we are seeing. I could be completely wrong but that's how I see it.
        For people like you it's only about your favorite fighter while it pleases some of us to see fighters getting paid well in general. It's called being a true fan of the sport. All of the rest of the stuff you were rambling about is gossip that TRUE FANS OF THE SPORT don't care about.
        P.S. Please take Jack Johnson off of your avatar and go and watch Unashamedly Black. Realize that people like you were the ones that hated Jack Johnson the most.

          No. The problem is that YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT IS BENEFICIAL TO THE BOXER. That's YOUR PROBLEM. Al Haymon is making sure that it stays your problem and not the boxer's problem. You just want to see two guys beat each other's brains out for a bucket of KFC.

            Lol ****** ass comments from Charlo!!

              One thing I'll never understand is how promoters now have fanboys and "haters".

                Gone are the days of the Roman coliseums where a bunch of high browed aristoc**** would sit and watch enslaved gladiators battle lions, tigers and bears to the death for free. Now the gladiators make more money than the aristoc**** thanks to Al Haymon. And that's the way that it should be.

                  I think you might need to go back and read the comment that you just quoted and think about how little sense it makes.
