    Realistically, what happens if Haymon's plan to get a network deal doesn't come?

    What happens to Al Haymon?

    What happens to PBC?

    What happens to all of his fighters?

    The investor's money is going thin and he still doesn't have a major network TV deal...

    What comes next?

    Does Haymon have a plan B?

    They go back to Showtime. Maybe back to HBO?

      Then pbc goes under..

      Haymon still will advise fighters

      Most will move back to showtime, maybe some go to hbo

      Boxing will go on

      The world will go on

      Everything will be ok

        Showtome, FS1, BounceTV are not time buys.

        NBC, CBS, Spike and ESPN are the time buys.

            He will just cut back his roster to probably 50-75 guys and put them on showtime and spike for as long as they have that contract.

                I'm surprised some of the fighters with Al haven't tried to jump ship. They aren't even getting dates and fights now it seems.

                  Besides Golovkin, Ward, Kovalev and Canelo who's getting regular dates on HBO? HBO even sent Manny packing. If they leave Haymon where are they going to go to get dates? People focus on PBC and will say why has Peterson only fought once but don't realize lots of other fighters not associated with PBC haven't fought much this year. The only place they could go to get dates is Matchroom but I don't envision that happening.

                    I suspect that Haymon is a front man for Floyd. So that would make Floyd be Haymon's mystery investor. The reasoning being that Floyd wants to make a ton of money as an investor/promoter. Floyd has limited education so he needs an educated guy like Haymon to handle contracts.
                    Now Floyd can play both sides of the fence, manage a few fighters and have all the control over Haymon.
                    I think Haymon is spending Floyds money to own fighters, and Floyd manages fighters and double dips by getting a manager fee plus the profit from promotions.
                    With all the fighters locked up by Floyd, nobody is gonna make any good fights without Floyds say-so, so TV networks can't show fights without top fighters.

                    If Floyd isn't Haymon's money man, who is, Oprah? Haymon spent about 300 million locking up all the best fighters. Who else has 300 million, and a desire to monopolize boxing?
