[vitali1999]

Any fool could see it wasn't real, stevenson was smiling while he was supposibly mad. Wasn't hard to figure out. Now the Fury Wilder one was real.

You're article does not dispute the quote I posted:

“I had nothing to do with Al Haymon for this fight,” De La Hoya told the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday in a telephone conversation. “I made this fight with Amir Khan’s father, Shah, and [his attorney]. I really don’t know the logistics of their contract, but I dealt with Shah and [the Khan attorney]. ... I have no idea [of Haymon’s involvement].”

Just because Oscar doesn't know about Haymon's involvement, doesn't mean Haymon wasn't "advising" Mr. Khan. Amir's tweet thanked "Team Khan and Al Haymon."

I don't know why FightHype is a bad source. Remember when the "fake" contracts were put on blast? That was FightHype. Remember when Koncz had to publicly apologize, that was FightHype. Oscar and Arum are not the most truthful promoters in the game.

Although a PBC official insisted to The Times that Khan’s management agreement with Haymon is like the other 200 PBC fighter deals with Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s manager, De La Hoya said repeated unions between his Golden Boy Promotions and PBC fighters is a long shot.
“No, I don’t think so,” De La Hoya said. “I believe this was a fight that was made with Shah and his lawyer, and I made the fight with them. I’m not looking beyond this fight with PBC.” Also its been stated numerous times that khan is one of the few fighters that doesnt need a Haymon veto to get a fight he wants. In laymens terms it means that Haymon actually acts like an advisor and not a promoter

PBC is cracking.

Golden boy and HBO are allowing their biggest fighter to go up against a guy who hasn't even been a major headliner or ratings grabber for PBC and they are more than likely paying him very well to do so. Doesn't look like they're cracking to me.

Exactly. Haymon is an advisor and not a promoter. All PBC events are promoted by someone other than Haymon. In effect, Oscar agreeing to promote Canelo vs. Khan goes against his argument that Haymon is a promoter in violation of the Ali act. In fact, Oscar and GBP (Schaefer) was the "Premiere" promotion team for Haymon's fighters.
