Comments Thread For: Jermall Charlo: Haymon Gets Bad Rap, Gets Job Done

[peplz]

You are really dumb if you believe "someone " is just giving Haymon 100 million dollars with "no accountability."

It's beyond me why anyone even cares about any of that. Haymon's budget? Really? Yawn yawn... These are The Days of Our Lives in the soap opera of sports fan gossip I guess.

Haymon is good for his clients as he gets them big paydays for crap fights, but bad for the sport and for the fans.

And don't forget to mention the most important and significant part of why people have a problem with Al Haymon; his association with Floyd Mayweather.

Nobody cared about haymon when he was with Vernon Forrest the moment Floyd joined up with him he became public enemy number 1

Haymon is slick and more of a boxing pimp

Skinny Bucktoothed Haymon takes advantage of the dumb boxers who are clueless and is just taking advantage of kids with no business sense or money smarts. Haymons boxing plantation is filled with unschooled field hands working for peanuts in the hot sun with Sammy Yo mammy and his two stooges holding over these kids with whips ready to beat those who do not listen or praise the almighty Haymon. sad to see these poor kids being led astray by the boxing anti-christ skinny al Haymon.

You are really dumb if you think there's accountability involved with paying guys like Lara a $1mill to fight Delvin Rodriguez in Chicago on a Friday night.

The only accountability will be evaluating the marketing metrics have met their bench marks after 3-4 quarters.

Haymon has done nothing but further isolate the sport. Many fights have not and wont get made because of him.

He could have taken PBC to new heights by having Floyd fight his last fight for FREE on PBC but he let that slip away. Many casuals still dont know what PBC or who Al Haymon is. Sure he has most of the fighters but he has no stars to propel the PBC brand. Fighters such as Garcia and Thurman dont have the charisma and style to garner world wide attention the way Floyd, Pac, Tyson, Oscar, SRL did.

What Haymon is trying to do is a hostile takeover of the sport and I dont see it succeeding. He doesnt have enough if any star power in his stable.

Haymon is a gift and a curse. 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.

PBC on Spike Tv had really good scraps and im glad it took over ESPN Friday night fights. But the stuff on NBC and CBS has been trash, Haymon has so many fighters and he keeps wasting his time on fighters like Stevenson, Bute, Quillen, Charlo bros, Lara , Garcia and Santa Cruz.

None of these fighters bring any $$$ or fans like he thought they would. I saw Bute fighting a Italian bartender as a main event wtf

The same rule applies to Haymon's defenders.

Haymon is a fight manager. So getting his client a title fight is his job not some perk of being his buddy. Hitler was a ruthless dictator who murdered people by the score and I'm sure there were plenty of perks for ranking members of the **** regime because it's the job of dictators and regimes to take whatever they want.
No disrespect but I think Jermall Charlo's logic on the matter makes a lot more sense than the logic in your analogy.

You obviously don't understand how analogies work, his comment was spot on.
