Remember when the Floyd fanboys were pro GBP when Floyd/Haymon/Shaefer were on board? LOL.
I also remember them saying SHO will make HBO irrelevant; Haymon/Schaefer/Floyd will take over boxing, then post a long list of boxers signing up with Haymon; Floyd will hire Schaefer; TMT would make TR and GBP irrelevant...
i agree to some extent. but you still got to build stars to have big fights. Well see haymon has been bashed and i get some of it others i think its just ridiculous cause even when he gives the fights he should like santa cruz mares or broner porter or broner maidana or jacobs quillen or garcia peterson and garcia khan and garcia matyssee now it sounds like porter thurman and wilder jennings are a few examples hell even guerrero thurman or gary russel lamenchenko or degale dirrel i could go on and on with how its obvious haymon is now starting to make the big fights it just seems like even when haymon does what we want and gives us the good fights people complain. if u want haymon to make big fights quit ignoring the good fights he does make and make it worth it for them to make these fights.
I dont know i love that gbp is willing to make these fights dont get me wrong but its not like even his top fighters have not gotten in the ring with guys they are ridiculously favored against. Not only that I think when haymon does what u guys want thats still not enough for u cause in the end you dont want the big fights u just want him to fail
Its that they dont pay attention to those fights. They concentrate on the showcase fights and think thats all PBC has shown which isnt true but whatever just show me the fights. Im watching on any network by any promoter
The number of matches we've seen this year have been astounding. I'm still trying to make sense of it all. It's been a great year for boxing.
This Is Why Oscar & Co Are Great for Boxing's Future! Old School!
GGG, Canelo, Sergio Martinez, Holyfield, Tyson, Pacquiao, Oscar, Mosley, Bhop of more recent time, they fought everyone in their prime, multiple times if need be. They weren't afraid to lose, they wanted to fight the best to see who the best really was. That's credible.

And to think, nearly all of the fights you mentioned happened in one year. What a start. Can't wait for 2016
Its the same model UFC uses. Pit your top guys against one another. A loss means little so long as the top guys keep fighting tough matchups.
Only in boxing do the fans and networks turn their backs on a fighter after a few losses. In UFC a fighter can have 6 losses and still sell out an arena. Why? because little stock is put into losses there. Even the best MMA artists can lose on any given night. But they bounce back and get right back into the octagon against tough competition.
