    Why isn't Haymon flexing his purse bid muscle anymore?

    What's happening? Is the well really running dry?
    Wade mandatory for Golovkin... supposedly, he could easily win the purse bid and force GGG off HBO and get a free belt against somebody else if vacated.... but he strikes a deal.

    McJoe Arroyo is one of Haymon's fighters and yet, he lost a purse bid for a measly 25k to Manny Pacquiao's promotional company..... Manny Pacquiao just beat out Al Haymon in an purse bid with pocket change.

    Where's the same Haymon that bid 3+million dollars on Degale/Dirrell... I mean, that's such an important fight that's worth 3+million in the states right?

    I guess they really are losing money and cutting back, winning a GGG/Wade purse bid and Arroyo/MP guy purse bid should cost less than the 3.5 million dollars Haymon gave for the mega fight between Dirrell and Degale

        Because Wade isn't a coward that actually wants to fight Golovkin. Chances are he probably did flex his purse bid muscles in the negotiations, and got Wade a bigger purse than the standard 25%.

          Yes, out of all the people in the MW division... Wade is the bravest of them all.

          And McJoe Arroyo? He's just brave to go to the PI and defend there? Or Haymon didn't have 25.1k to spend?

            There's only been one fight that went to purse bid and he won. And that wasn't to long ago, it was in December You ever think Haymon isn't as hard to deal with as some people want you to believe? Khan vs. Canelo was made. Wade vs. GGG was made. Hell, he even helped get Quigg vs. Frampton made. That's a fight Hearn had been trying to get made for a while. And Povetkin's promoter just said he thinks the fight will be made without going to purse bid.

              Because they know they're going to lose that purse bid to a guy who bid 20+ million for Wlad.

              They're probably conceding everything Povetkin wants except location

                Of course money is running out he can't even afford to pay for PBC events even though he already paid for the air time on networks. This month had the fewest PBC events since it's debut. There are no official PBC events scheduled for March as of today. So if he can't even pay for his fighters and reports they are cutting costs and that he might release some fighters as part of cutting costs you think he can just blow people away with purse bids anymore?

                  That makes no sense. Povetkin's promoter has more money than PBC. If he wanted the fight made on his terms all he would have to do is petition the WBC for an expedited purse bid. But instead he's negotiating with Haymon/DiBella.

                    Maybe it was one of the ways he saw to get his guys back on HBO. Or maybe he's just broke now, i don't know
