Is Al Haymon Leaving Soon?

[Nubia]

Hopefully very soon. He's trying so hard to get black Americans interested in boxing by force feeding us fighters like the Charlos, Dirrells, Broner, Spence, Russell Jr., Davis, and so on, but black Americans don't attend boxing events or buy PPVs. Black Americans would rather spend all their money on clothes, shoes, eat out, and front at the club like they're rich for a night.

You don't see many black people at any sporting events for that matter. They're weird. They don't support their own by attending sporting events or buying PPVs and stuff like that, but best believe they'll use the accomplishments of those athletes they don't support as some sort of racial superiority theory.

This makes me wonder if you've ever even been to a sporting event other than a ****** ass Dodger game.

Those nosebleed seats are rough eh?

He's not leaving but be careful what you wish for, PBC is really the only organization putting out events consistently. HBO's budget for boxing is declining every year, they're decreasing the purses, they're putting more fights on PPV that don't belong, they're falling out with Top Rank.

The whole PBC is ruining and taking up all the boxing slots thing is like lazy Americans saying that Mexican illegals were stealing American jobs. How? When you won't do those jobs anyway. Same applies to PBC, they're using Spike, Fox, NBC and all those channels no promoter ever touched, but somehow PBC is stealing airtime all of a sudden. At least that was DLH and Arum's argument about PBC.

Yo, PBC is taking our airtime on Fox Sports, that coulda been us judge!

Correct me if I'm wrong but show/hbo aren't putting out as many events basically because haymon hijacked all of their fighters.

If he went back to the music biz they'd be back on show/hbo the net day.

Not looking for a fanboy argument -- its cool if you look up to Al Haymon or Bob Arum or any of those guys.

Was just saying its common sense. If you have a new competitor your own slice of the pie shrinks. If any of the factions caved in the fighters would just move to the others. No problem if PBC fails.

nbc-showtime=the same company man

Nope.

CBS and Showtime = the same company, man.

I don't think Haymon will be leaving for a long time, but it is interesting to note the purses of this weekends NBC card.

Algieri made more fighting on Spike than he'll be making on NBC.

Purses for #PBConNBC card Sat night: Spence $225k, Algieri 325k, Glowacki 150k, Cunningham 225k, Browne 100k, Kalajdzic 85k. #SpenceAlgieri

he was fighting khan who as a bigger fan base then spence

[Lester Tutor]

Rumours have it that Al Haymon flew to Mexico with bags of cash like Floyd and told Box Azteca president, ''yo, this is what we're going to do...''

[BennyBlanco]

You're Al Haymon's lapdog, though.

Gonzalez- 100 to 1 mismatch vs the bad Arroyo.

You seriously wrote this? Wow, you obviously don't know **** about boxing. Gonzalez/Arroyo is a mismatch!? Man, you need to slap yourself.

Of course it's a mismatch. The P4P best in the world vs. a 31-year-old guy with a 16-2 record who hasn't fought in a year.

Odds are 50-1.

Yes, it's a mismatch.

Which is kind the point.

This weekend's NBC card has a much smaller budget than some of their NBC fight cards last year.

Heck, it's got a smaller budget than some Spike cards last year...and Khan-Algieri is an example of it.

This year, we see Spence-Algieiri on NBC and Beterbiev-TBA on ESPN.

Seems like a step down.

It's obvious the money is getting dry. Fewer cards, long gaps between fights on these networks. When PBC launched they said these were going to be monthly series on these networks. Yet 4 month gaps for NBC, SPIKE and 8 months gap in the case for ESPN, Bounce might be canceled no card since like Jan. The overall purses on these shows are way down. Dan Rafael tweeted yesterday that for NBC Marv Albert, Bob Costas, Sugar Ray, Al Michaels are all gone. So they getting cheaper announcers too.
