    The double standar is too much on this site.

    Tim Bradley's last two fights have been against fckin diego chaves n jesse vergas and he is fighting bum bum rios next....AND no one says anything even though those dudes Tim is fighting are not elite welterweights by any means.

    That is just one non Haymon fighter fighting weak opposition, there are several others such as GGG...but PEOPLE rather just say nothing about them and hate on Haymon smh

        It could always be better but people need to understand that not every fight can't be a 50/50 one.

        Yes Haymon has put on some mismatches this year but he has also matched his star fighters on great fights such as Santa Cruz/Mares, Garcia/Peterson & Broner/Porter....and the year is not over yet, i can almost guarantee you that Thurman/Porter/Garcia and maybe even Khan are going to be involved in big fights in the fall.

          Like that will matter. Those fights you listed were complained about. "Boxing fans" will complain anyway.

            Pay close attention to someone who actually works and knows how Haymon does business since he is not only J Rock Williams Trainer but Manager as well instead of listening to people on the outside looking in just assuming how things work with Haymon well at 2:20 he tells how things work with Haymon as far as making matches:



            I guess you can say Haymon gives his fighters Too Much Freedom but it is suppose to be a partnership, you're not suppose to treat your fighters like ****** and tell them what to do. The fighters and their team determine what is NEXT! Arum does the same thing, he recently gave Pacquiao a list did he not? And told him to choose who HE WANTS TO FIGHT! I thought that is how it works for everybody in boxing.

              Same idiot who used to say Bradley is an overrated bum. Now he's saying he isn't.

              Champ Brook is fighting Chaves doe.

                I disagree with this. Fighters have a boss and that's the guy getting them paid, that's also who should be calling the shots. If given the choice most people will choose an easy task for money, over a more difficult challenge, for the same amount. This results in boring fights and a sport most people don't care about.

                  Didn't watch the video. It's too long. What's your point? You always seem to struggle trying to defend Haymon.

                  Reality is, both promoter and fighter are always blamed. Period. It's useless defending one or the other. Tell me a mismatch where one or the other is absolved of any accountability.

                      Really don't matter if we agree or not, that is the way boxing is. NONE of these Promoters can force fighters to fight who they want them to fight. They all have to Agree!
