- Kovalev: We're getting a Kovalev v. Pascal, a fight that was dominated by Kovalev and ended in a TKO. His fight in Vegas flopped. He has to go to his opponents hometown in order to draw a crowd. He's surrounded by Haymon fighters in his division. There's an issue of a Beterbiev IBF purse bid that may derail the Ward fight. Name his next 3 potential fights
-Ward: Paying a lot of money for his tune-up fights and still not certain he'll fight Kovalev. He can't draw outside of Oakland. If a fight with Kovalev were held today or next year it's still not a PPV but they'll have to pay Ward PPV money. Name his next 3 potential fights
- GGG: They can't get their other two legitimate stars in the ring with him. His PPV did Tommy Morrison vs Ray Mercer numbers. He's 34 the clock is ticking and he doesn't have one signature win and no signature opponents in sight. If he moves up a weight class he's surrounded by Haymon fighters. If he moves down a weight class he's surrounded by Haymon fighters. Name his next 3 potential fights
-Roman Gonzalez: Let's just be honest about this one. I know he's the #1 P4P fighter for boxing hipsters but his opposition has been trash. He added nothing, as far as viewership, to the GGG PPV. He can't sell out a Marriot ballroom yet he's asking for $1-$2 mil to rematch Estrada. Nobody is going to pay him that. He hasn't proven anything. Name his next 3 potential fights
-Lomachenko: Surrounded by Haymon fighters in his weight class. Won't move up to face Walters or rematch Salido. Can't come to an agreement to fight Rigo, who is also not a draw but wants big money. Just fought a cab driver on the Bradley undercard in front of 10 people. His presence added nothing viewership wise or attendance wise to the fight. Name his next 3 potential fights
-Wlad: He fights on Saturday afternoon. HBO doesn't even try to market him in America.
-Pacquiao: Always a solid draw. His next fight is his last
-Rigondeaux: I don't even have to explain this one. Name his next 3 potential fights
Even if you look at potential stars on TR, GBP, & RNS those fighters are surrounded by Haymon fighters. Yes, HBO has the biggest stars but they'll be fighting bums.
