Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn Critical of Al Haymon and PBC Business Model

[al-Xander]

That's how f#ckd up boxing is nowadays. Lara, who can't even draw flies anywhere, headlined fights and had bums in a row for his last 3 fights getting almost $3 million. Explain to me how is this good for boxing? Clearly, Haymon doesn't have any conscience pouring millions of dollars down the drain using other people's money. And it's also clear Haymon is all about showcasing his fighters, make them look good.

Ishe Smith, Rodriguez, Zaveck, Lara. Tell me who doesn't belong in this group?

The same Lara who idiots say will beat Golovkin.

Why not Zaveck vs Rodriguez, or Zaveck vs Smith, or Smith vs Rodriguez as undercard fights?

Just one example why this sport is so ****d up.

GTFO with this ****** nonsense and just admit you Haymon fanboys are only concerned about the well being of Haymon's top fighters and don't give a hoot about the Salka fighters, knowing that mismatches are extremely dangerous for the Salka fighter who had to fight hungry lions in their primes.

How much did Zerafa got in the Quillin fight? Probably 10K. Quillin got $1 million. Danny Garcia and Leo Santa Claus got $700K, $750K, for fighting Salka and sparring partners, respectively. How is this not dangerous for the Salka fighter, who gets paid significantly less?

And here you sermonize about brain damage and all that nonsense.

Why didn't you mention the BIGGEST mismatch of the last 20+ YEARS???

Buster Douglas vs. Tyson 42-1 underdog

Zerafa vs. Quillin 40-1 underdog

Salka vs. Garcia 100-3 Underdog

Dominac Wade vs. GGG 100-1 underdog

I'm sure because you had NO PROBLEM with that POS MISMATCH! This fight should of been mentioned 1st but you didn't even mention it at all???

No one said Lara woud of beat GGG! But he IS 10000x BETTER than Monroe and Wade!!! Actually he would of been the most TALENTED boxer GGG has EVER fought as a PRO! Continue smoking your crack pipe and believing Monroe was more dangerous than Lara.

All I know is Hearns is matching Joshua up perfectly. He moves forward every fight and he has a star due to it. It's what Haymon should have been doing with his fighters from the beginning instead of squandering their momentum.

al haymon is a criminal.

Wade got $500K, Zerafa got $10K as against Quillin's $1 million.

Point is, don't talk about defending fighters getting overpaid when it's clear that you're only talking about Haymon fighters. And will you people stop this ****** nonsese like fighters getting brain damaged when you're only thinking about Haymon fighters' well being.

Yes he was right about the slave wages. I'm not saying all fighters should make what Floyd is making but once Floyd saw what was being made off of him he was right! He proved everybody was wrong. Yet we're back at this conversation again.

When a fighters signs with a promoter he's signing to fight and win. The promoters job is to promote him. If he's doing house job (fighting & winning) and he still can't draw a crowd, the promoter isn't doing his job properly. If I promote a comedy show and nobody shows up that's my problem. Those comedians still get paid what we agreed upon. If I throw another show with the same comedians and nobody shows up I'm not doing my job. Why should the comedians pay (boxers) be based on how well I do my job? I'm paying then to tell jokes (fight). My job is to promote the event so it's successful and I make money.

Some people just don't get it!

I could give TWO shts about a promotor.

CURRENTLY my FAVORITE fighters ALL are from different promotors!

Ward - Roc Nation
Kovalev - Duva
GGG- - POS Leoffler
Canelo - GB
Crawford - tOP sKANK
Mayweather -
Pac
Leo - Al haymon

Are you REALLY that ****** that you give a FK about a promotor??? SMh...

[pugil1st]

And will you people stop this ****** nonsese like fighters getting brain damaged when you're only thinking about Haymon fighters' well being.

Why do you assume that? Would it also be safe to assume that you don't care about the health of fighters under Haymon?

[b00g13man]

It pisses the hell out of me when these ****** Haymon fanatics talk about brain damage and all, yet they defend mismatches. As if the other fighter in the ring is not human and the only guy that matters is the Haymon fighter.

Ummm....GGG/Wade. That's the biggest mismatch we've seen all year. I don't remember any criticism of that from you.
