What does a boxing promoter like Top Rank really do?

[GMAN SUPREME]

Haymon has been in boxing for 17 years. He saw HBO's budget get cut year after year. He saw Showtime damn near dead in the water when it comes to boxing. He saw how this niche sport was becoming even more of a niche sport so what did he do? He went out and found people willing to invest half a billion dollars into the sport trying to grow it. But he's the bad guy.....While all the other major players in boxing are cutting costs he's the only one investing in the sport. But he's the bad guy.

overpaying for **** fights no one wants to see. gaymon doesn't want to grow the sport he wants to slowly kill it while making as much money as possible.

Promoters don't just take money from HBO and Showtime. They recruit talent, develop tslent, invest their own money often losing millions in the process. They create story lines that garner interest in fighters.

It's a tough job. It's why so many promotion companies have come and gone.

How do they "lose millions" when they "build" their talent on the smaller networks like Solo Boxeo and then try to sell them to HBO?

Do you have ONE example of Top Rank "losing millions" by spending their own money?

No you moron his end goal was to get a 600 million dollar deal like UFC.

Between now and June there are two HBO cards Ward vs Barrera and Coward vs a Shobox prospect.

Prichard Colon moved to rehabilitation facility, remains in a coma

Also writing on social media, Ricardo Colon credited Al Haymon, Prichard's adviser and the creator of PBC, for making the move to the costly rehabilitation facility possible.

Ask Magomed Abdusalamov if Haymon is bad for boxing

you should stick to just throwing insults at people who actually have industry experience, instead of opening your mouth and proving how ****** you are.

It takes about $150,000 to move the average (non-olympian) fighter from a pro-debut to 18-0. A bit more if he has a high KO percentage. And out of every 50 fighters you invest in, maybe ONE makes it to HBO or Showtime.

You shouldnt run your mouth about things you obviously have NO UNDERSTANDING of whatsoever.........

Solo Boxeo foots the bill for prospect development. Remind me how TR "loses millions" again...?

Just wondering where that 150k go towards and why more if they have high KO %.

It goes to their purses. First off-tv HBO, Solo Boxeo cards then co-main Solo Boxeo... then main event Solo Boxeo making $8-$10k for main event.

Then Arum begs HBO to pay for them lol.

If HBO refuses, Arum cries.

That is the WHOLE strategy and it is entirely PATHETIC
