Khan needs to seriously think about dropping haymon. There is no debate his career and reputation has taken a massive hit since getting in bed with him. If you remember he was signed only to golden boy and agreed to fight devon for the belt at 147 then something happened and he pulled out. Rumors were he was signing to haymon who promised to get him a fight with Floyd and he was pulling out the fight to avoid the risk of losing. Months later he officially signs and has been turning down big money fights and title shots at 147 ever since trying to back into a fight with Floyd that haymon promised him. Problem is Floyd unlike any other haymon fighters has the power to say no to haymon and clearly Floyd isn't fighting him.Comment

Bob is blowing smoke up ya'll axxes. He's gonna feed the public that he's intends to match Khan vs Pac but when it comes time to put up or shut up he's going to say the fight could not be made because of Haymon. Simultaneously announcing that Pac's next opponent will be T Crawford.Comment

It actually makes no difference who your manager, promoter, tv network etc.. is if theres a lot money on the table and people willing to work together. Mayweather v Pac got made eventually because everyone decided its in their best interests to work together and make money. Like Pac and Khan might generate good enough money where everyone decides to pull together.
The real problem in boxing is when a guy like Arum could make more money off a fight like Pacquiao v Vargas, than say a much better fight like Pacquiao v Thurman or something, because he gets slices of the pie from both guys as they're signed to him. Not just Arum, this was just an example, it goes for all the promoters. But it is a problem where good fights don't get made and in place we get lesser fights because there's more money for the promoter if they're both signed to them.
I understand, it's business at the end of the day. It's just worse for us fans who put money in to the sport that we're denied some good fights.Comment
