    Nice. Remember hearing about this months ago. Was wondering when it was going to pop off. I must admit I find Haye to be one of the least appealing HW's "contenders" around today & I feel like he's milking the f#ck out of his "comeback", but he does seem to get ratings so PBC could do a hell of a lot worse than to work with him if that does happen.

    Either way it'll be interesting to see how this transpires & it might be interesting to see where the Haymon & Hearn relationship goes with this move.

      I guess that following the Froch-Groves II market success some (Haymon among those) sensed the U.K. sales potential and strategically stimulated the boxing there (hence the increased number of U.K. world champions to date).

        As the article said, doing something with Haye would be a good start.
        He does good figures on a tiny channel in Dave.

            Always that one goofy pic of Haymon from a decade ago.

              He wants to invest in both dummy.

              Are you alright?

                  There was no need for a green K -- one doesn't have to be a business genius to realize those above...
                  (Though, I must admit that I worked at a stock exchange and in "business development" at some point.)

                    And get overpaid. This Haymon guy has destroyed boxing. Look at the top fighters in his stable. They rarely fight each other. Why? Because they want to get paid millions of dollars. Why? Because they're so used to getting millions for fighting bums.

                    The future of this sport is bleak.

                      That's peasant talk.

                      Haymon fighters fight one another all the time:

                      Broner vs Maidana..

                      Khan vs Garcia...

                      Floyd vs Maidana..

                      Floyd vs Guerrero..

                      Fonfara vs Stevenson..

                      Santa Cruz vs Frampton..

                      ...and those are just a few.

                      You can stop lying about Al's fighters not fighting one another...but I doubt you will
