Haymon fighters running to that HBO Money

[killakali]

It is kinda funny we got folks on here saying HBO is running outta that cizash to pay for fights and that PBC is paying that top dollar and then we see that Spence is only gettng $225k this weekend and Algieri $325k.

Guys like Walters are turning down $500k for Lomachenko yet Haymon fighters think that is a good payday with guys like Rocky Martinez and Javier Fortuna already agreeing to fight for that money while they have nothing on the table with PBC.

We already saw khan, wade and arroyo come up for upcoming fights to get that hbo payday.

Thoughts on this influx of haymon fighters coming for that government cheese and also thoughts on guys like walters turning it down when apparently the grass isn't greener on the other side.

But HBO actually is. It's not even speculation anymore that's

Spence isn't even champion yet how much is he supposed to get?

This is bad??? Walters & Loma got overpaid

[jqSide]

Fight won't happen if you don't give them what they want. Loma/Walters didn't happen.

Haymons a manager. Managers are supposed to get their fighters the best $ availible so its no surprise that he will let some of his fighters go work with other networks if he cant get them more than theyre being offered.

You think that is bad? Spence has been getting ~75k to ~150k for his last few fights. This is a career high payday for him. Aligeri got 500k for Khan, but Khan is a bigger name so a drop for him makes sense here vs a guy who's still more a prospect than a contender or former champ like Khan.

Loma vs Walters is a glamor fight you fool.

True. Its been falling since the 90's ffs. They used to have over $100M a year for boxing. Now they got under $30M.

And there has also been an exodus of high level long term HBO Boxing employees over the last 6 months that suggests maybe worse things are to come.

Peter Hershman (President of HBO Sports) quit last year after 13 years

Mark Taffet (HBO VP, lauched HBO's PPV arm with Lou DiBella) quit last year after 32 years

Tammy Ross (VP of HBO PPV) quit after the Pacquiao vs Bradley III card after 24yrs

Its probably well established that I expect HBO will be out of the boxing business within the next 5-10 years at this point. All clues seem to suggest HBO is slowly but surely ending their boxing program.
