    He does both, which is why the Arum/Golden Boy Promo lawsuits. Fighters don't choose opponents with Haymon; he chooses, fighters fight. It's in the contracts; ask Danny Garcia... He says it best!

      He acts like a promoter but he's primarily a manager. Haymon nerver do interviews so it's easy for his fighters just blame him for **** fights.

          Too bad. Would have been a good fight. I wonder what the plan is then. And I wonder if Thurman and Porter are questioning the wisdom of signing the "advisor" contract.

              No there not. Like all networks/promoters/whatever there are hot and cold only instead of 5 shows with HBO we get 20 with PBC. More to criticize but more faces to be seen and names to be heard

                Don't care much about Porter. He's basically a brawler. Khan vs Thurman would be better, or Garcia vs Thurman.

                I hope they're not looking for another Bundu somewhere.

                    Has seemed this way for a while. Porter just seems more like a 'I want to fight the best' type of guy, Thurman less so. Could be wrong, 2 sides to every story etc. But this news isn't surprising.

                      LOL, they couldn't even wait more than a day to acknowledge that it isn't happening. "It's gonna happen, just not right now."

                      It's amazing that people still refuse to acknowledge how ****ed this 'sport' actually is. It's right down there in the proverbial ****ter, just waiting to get flushed away. The 'fighters', the managers, the promoters, the networks, the alphabet orgs - they're all responsible for it.
