We'll just ignore the irony that the concept of owning/cheerleading/d*ckriding specific types of fighters could not possibly have a better purpose than being attached to you.
Is this not your quote?
That implies they can't fight and beat good fighters because they're not good.
They're not good because Haymon chooses to not get any good ones.
The irony, the ones being matched cute are Haymon's pride and joys. The other ones just get fed because they suck in the first place.
It's no coincidence that Danny Garcia has the best resume at PBC.
You're not one to look down on other fighters, your team's not winning.Comment

you realize you included hbo fights in your list, right? In any case, are you celebrating the quantity of fighters he has or are you saying these matchups (hbo excluded) are quality fights?
If it's quantity, yes, he's managed to attract a lot of fighters. In terms of matchups, although not strictly a Haymon fight, I'm looking forward to Wilder-Povetkin (assuming this is an off-HBO fight), and also Porter-Thurman, and I guess you can include Algieri-Spence.
Although I lack any real interest in most of these, I don't want you to misinterpret my meaning, I think it's good that there are plenty of fights to watch, especially if they turn out good, I can always catch the replay. But there are fights all throughout the world you can catch online. Unfortunately, a lot of stateside fans fail to realize they don't have to depend on American broadcasters for good fights. When Rigo fought in Japan, did we miss out on it? You just have to check that trading section

Let's kick the facts. How the f**k do you put a fighter that has drawn 8,000 fans on the undercard of a fighter who on a good day draws the 5 Cubans from BoxingScene to his fights? That's what your ****** idol Al Haymon did with Barthelemy vs. DeMarco and Vasquez Jr. vs. Omotoso. Maybe it's because Barthelemy is black? I mean Barthelemy has headlined on CBS, NBC, and Showtime.
I doubt you'd trust any other source, so here's the words from the devil's mouth:
"At his most recent fight in May, against Emmanuel Lartey at the CONSOL Energy Center in Pittsburgh, not from Vazquez’s hometown of Moneseen, Pennsylvania, he attracted close to 8,000 fans."
Let's compare Sammy Vasquez Jr. to a fellow Welterweight in Errol Spence Jr. though. Spence Jr. fought 4 times in 2015. On NBC Sports Network, and co-headliner on NBC twice and on Spike. All 4 against weak ass opponents. And he'll be headlining on NBC on Saturday.
Sammy Vasquez Jr. hasn't fought the best opposition either but between him and Spence Jr. he definitely has the best single win in Aron Martinez. Other than that their resumes are about equal.
As aforementioned, Vasquez Jr. is capable of drawing 8,000 fans, he's Mexican, and a U.S. Army Veteran. What does Spence Jr. have on that? Other than the fact that he's black.
Weird how Miguel Vazquez and Rances Barthelemy fight fairly similar, but Barthelemy has headlined televised cards 3 times and Vazquez has been robbed twice both against black skinned fighters in Bey and Mendez.
Weird how illiterate f**ks with no fans like Gervonta Davis get televised spots as a prospect that hasn't proved s**t, but a solid contender like Hugo Centeno Jr. can't get a televised spot or even a fight period. Mexican-American fighter that speaks perfect English and Spanish, had a highlight reel knockout on HBO but he's Haymon's last priority. Maybe because he's not black?
I could go on and on, but y'all should get the point. Bob Arum the devil doe! Oscar De La Hoya the devil doe!Comment

Lol at the guy above.
Garcia and Guerrero made one of the biggest PBC checks this year and headlined the main event.
The puerto rican kid Prichard-Colon was another headliner that was getting a major push from the PBC.
Chris Arreola first thanked Al Haymon before he even thanked God because Haymon gave him a chance at rebirth. I think Arreola even said Haymon saved his life.
Edwin Rodriguez has been the main event a few times on PBC
Sergio Mora has fought as the headline.
BTW Barthelemy is Cuban, he's not African American.
What is this guy talking about?Comment

Can you honestly say HBO is putting on such a poor product in comparison to what others are putting out there? They basically got the top 10 P4P on their roster. They got Canelo, Manny (or had anyway) & Cotto who are probably the biggest active names in the game. They got some pending huge fights for the sport with GGG vs Canelo, Postol vs Crawford & Kov vs Ward (maybe Walters vs Loma). And they show everything behind the scenes that fans have gotten used to & conditioned to seeing over the past 3-ish decades HBO has been the home of high level boxing largely that Lampley is talking about.
Its 2016. No one wants to watch a Ray Liotta endorsed alcohol ad 30 times in a row. They wanna see whats happening in the corner. Free TV for sure takes away some of my enjoyment of a fight with all those breakaways from whats going on. There's good fights on HBO & PBC. There's whatever fights on HBO & PBC. There's bs fights on HBO & PBC. The difference is HBO shows me everything thats happening.Comment

Nailed it 100%. I want to listen to the corner in between rounds. Not commercials, especially the same one over & over again.Comment

Khan and Wade are Haymon fighters. They can't even do fights without him. Rigo fought once in Japan and came back. He wants to be here.you realize you included hbo fights in your list, right? In any case, are you celebrating the quantity of fighters he has or are you saying these matchups (hbo excluded) are quality fights?
If it's quantity, yes, he's managed to attract a lot of fighters. In terms of matchups, although not strictly a Haymon fight, I'm looking forward to Wilder-Povetkin (assuming this is an off-HBO fight), and also Porter-Thurman, and I guess you can include Algieri-Spence.
