    LMAO at using a fight that Haymon already blocked once when it was all agreed, and that has since become torturous to actually make, as an example of Haymon allowing his fighters to fight on HBO

    Do you not understand? He has PAID for timeslots on other channels. HBO is the platform he needs to strangle to boost his own model.

        Regarding Jacobs and Lara, show me where HBO won't let GGG fight on another network like they did with GGG vs Adama?

        I don't want to hear OnePunch's opinion, but something from HBO saying this isn't possible; especially since GGG has already met his minimum 4 fight obligations with HBO.

        Stop blaming Haymon for everything.

          If no agreement can be reached then the fight will go to purse bids. I wouldn't be surprised if Bumlovkin ends up vacating the IBF title....

              GBP, K2, main events, and even top rank have allowed their fighters to fight off HBO (when there were no exclusive contracts), but haymon has never reciprocated that i can remember
              Where has GBP/K2/Main Events/Top Rank voluntarily taken their fighters, outside of the HBO orbit?

                Isn't this what people wanted though? GGG and his team to reach out to Hymen and if the fight doesn't happen because of Hymen, well......it is what it is.

                  Rule #1: Its always K2 / GGG / HBOs fault

                  Rule #2: If it turns out to be someone elses fault, dismiss/discredit the information and refer to Rule #1

                      I agree this is ridiculous.
