What happened in simple: with all the bullocks Haydon fed audiences last year and the sheer lack of viewers or creation of stars, channels have run out of confidence to use up more dates.

Originally posted by JoeMan View PostNo. Haymon had $434 million to burn and the others didn't. Give the same huge amount to Arum or Oscar, plus PBC fighters and both would have made more quality fights than Haymon. $434 million in one year is not what you call "dried up."
Perhaps you should take a step back and ask yourself why no investor has ever given that type of war chest nor has any network committed that amount of TV time to any plan those two nor any other entity in boxing has ever attempted.
Instead of sitting around waiting to mindlessly suck off the annual HBO/SHO boxing budget announcement teat, Haymon went out and found someone willing to put up REAL money and networks to commit PRIMETIME slots to this sport.

arum has less power than ever.
de la hoya has one fighter.
rafael is a simple minded guy looking at things in the most simplistic way possible.
look at the big picture and you see that haymon is in a better position than ever to eventually monopolize US boxing.

If Al had taken the same, "company first, fighter second" approach as Dana, there would be no incentive for anybody to sign with him, especially not big name fighters.

Boxers - wanting lots of money for easy fights. Much more for fights with risks.
Promoters - Same deal with milking.
Networks - being idiots and paying for the fights when they knew were shit.
Fans - for praising easy fights just cause they like a boxer.

Arum still has less power than ever.
And Oscar has one fighter.
HBO's budget has been cut so much that it's basically the same as Showtime. Haymon controls basically the entire Showtime budget.
Arum, Oscar, Roc Nation, K2 and others all have to split the HBO budget.
So Haymon is the biggest player and that is clearer than it's ever been.
