      How are you sure that the PBC is broke? All that talk about being broke has been speculation, so far.

          TS is a huge PBC/Haymon fanboy and a huge anti HBO/Arum.

          What he's saying is Arum can't be that dumb if he believes PBC is broke and still wants to work with Haymon.

          TS conclusion: PBC is not broke. You are all fools to believe so.

              Bob Arum is smarter than anyone that criticizes him on this forum.

                People can say whatever they want about me as long as the check clears lol
                How many fighters has Arum "let" Haymon use so far??? What number of those fighters brought a huge profit to Haymon???...15% of a shitty roster...where Al has the most talent and the most talented fighters that people want to see fight...Haymon doesn't need Arum...it's the other way around...15% does not outweigh principle...Al doesn't need that 15% that bad that he has to do business with a snake like Arum...but that is my principles and opinion...

                  And thats why you aren't a successful businesman. You let personal feelings get in the way of business. All of these guys have an opinion about eachother, and sometimes, its not favorable. But thats a personal feeling. When it is time to talk business, none of that matters.

                    Al graduated from Harvard as well...but they get real "shhh" about that...

                    Haymon was raised in Cleveland, Ohio and studied economics at Harvard.[2] He also has an MBA from Harvard.
