    Yeah, all of us are...

    Anyway, I agree with Sugar Adam Ali, he'd become a huge star.

      He'd be a great fighter to have on NBC where anyone could watch him. To be honest I think HBO has the more compelling matches for him in Canelo and Ward, whereas Haymon really just has Jacobs. But for GGG's career he would definitely benefit from the extra views network TV could get him.

        i wouldn't be pleased because there's no real reason for him to go to the enemy. who does haymon have that would be a threat to ggg anyhow? if they call macklin, monroe jr, and lemieux bums then what are they gonna call jacobs, quillin, and lee after golovkin smashes them? plus, haymon doesn't even cater to his eastern euro/russian fighters anyway. he prefers his slick american fighters that cater to his target audience, the hip hop crowd.

          Doesn't really effect me because Golovkin is still going to be the same fighter he always is.

            he'd be tempted to become a coddled cherrypicker, like Haymons' fighters tend to be

              Actually I'm pretty sure most of his European fighters just had title shots (or are Champions) or are about to. DeGale, Bute, Szpilka, Frampton...

              And his exciting Ukranian prospect Ievgen Khytrov had 5 fights in 2015.

                It would be good, but he would be in the same boat he is now. Struggling to get opponents.

                The best scenario would be to see HBO, Haymon and all the promoters to all freely do business again, but I am just a dreamer.

                  he's definitely better as far as activity goes for his eastern block fighters than say top rank, but it's no secret he prefers his slick swag crew like quillin, garcia, broner, etc.

                    Haymon is smart. He's catering to a new generation while all the old heads are still stuck on old ways of percieving lifestyles, Haymon is squeezing in where he doesn't fit.

                    Quillin, Garcia, and Broner can attract an entire generation of youth that has ZERO interest in boxing at the moment. The way they look and act is far more relatable to a youthful generation than what some of the older fighters offer now.
