Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: Talks Ongoing WIth Al Haymon For Possible Fights

[jqSide]

hopefully this isnt like when arum said he would work with oscar which turned into hardly any big fights

Give an example of a big fight TR/GBP could have made knowing that Schaefer signed all of the GBP fighters with your uncle Haymon.

I am so conditioned to the Cold War Era that my brain is fragmented into only being able to considering matchups possible due to promotional ties. I'm at a complete loss at the possible matchups now- my brain shortcircuits.

Someone help

who does Haymon have at 130 that should be in the mix with Salido, Vargas, Walters, Loma, and even R. Martinez? Would be cool to have a Haymon fighter or two in that mix

The big fights take time to position.

-Thurman/Porter and Garcia/Berto this summer sets up the winners to fight each other in the Fall/Winter.

-Frampton/Santa Cruz, Selby/Warrington, and Cuellar/Mares is setting up WBC/WBA/IBF 126 unification fights to close out the year.

-Badou Jack and James Degale having their interim fights set up their coming unification this fall, with the Murray/Groves winner and ChavezJr/Love winner as options.

There's currently a tournament going to set things with the WBC/WBA/IBF 154 belts (Charlo-Hatley, Charlo-JRock, Lara-Andrade, etc)

patience

Like the mayweather vs pacman patient, the most expensive and boring fight of all time. Wait for the Canelo vs GGG for what? Make the fights we want to see. There is a reason less and less people watch boxing, its become a joke. Fans dont care about business, and it makes business sense to make the fight people want to see. All these PBC fight no one wants to see. Even Lara and the Charlos twins only got 400K viewers together. Vargas vs Salido almost made 1 Mil viewers because most fans knew it was going to be competitive.

Whatever.....Richard shafaer left GBP and what happened after that? Nothing, idiots on here were actually believing that the "cold war" is over and Richard was the one holding GBP from fighting Arum fighters. So how many fights have we seen since Richard left?

Which fight could GBP and TR have made when Schaefer signed all GBP's top fighters with Haymon before he left?

It wasn't just GBP that lost fighters...Top Rank had their own issues with Mikey Garcia, JCC Jr., Miguel Cotto.

People forget that GBP and Top Rank did have negotiations for Canelo-Cotto in late 2014, but Cotto eventually signed with Roc Nation, ending the Cotto/TR relationship.

Broner vs. Crawford - MAKE IT HAPPEN!

I agree! Do it in Louisville and donate some proceeds to Ali's Foundation!

It means they have an irrational hatred of Al Haymon...how dare somebody look out for the fighters.

I can no longer support Bob Arum.
