Originally posted by peplz View PostYeah 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 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..?

If you like seeing your favorite fighter signed with him getting big checks he's good, if you expect fighters to pursue legacy type of careers he's bad. 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.
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.

Originally posted by Eff Pandas View PostHaymon definitely is getting a bad rap, but horrible logic by Charlo. "Haymon got me a title shot so he's good for boxing" verbatim is like saying "I know people love to talk **** about this Hitler cat, but he bought me a car when I turned 16 so I think he's fantastic".

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.
