He also is not even signing fighters. Look at last year or 2 every top young fighter he over bid to sign them. Yet last few months it just golden boy and top rank signing all the top young amateurs who are going pro. Last year golden and top rank had no chance getting into a bidding war for fighters because he offered higher signing bonuses.
Why isn't Haymon flexing his purse bid muscle anymore?

Don't forget Wilder vs Stiverne avoided a purse bidThere'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.Comment

don King was ready to take anything IMO.
Honestly... don't remember many purse bids with Haymon and his promoters.
Off the top of my head, the Degale/Dirrell is the only one I remember because it was just so absurd
Don't know why he wasn't willing to put some cash down for Arroyo since he wanted it in the now dead triple header. Now one of his champs is going abroadComment

That's not the only time. He beat TR to Loma Russell for like 25k moreThere's only been one fight that went to purse bid and he won.

Your sig lmfaoWhat'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

This isnt rocket science boys. There isnt enough money to plug up the hole. Of course nobody's going to want their money going away anymore. The well is running dry. Theres nothing planned ahead like it was 2015. Looks like it would be a miracle if PBC sees their one year anniversary...Comment
