Good to see. 2017 will tell us if they really did learn from their mistakes.

Haymon has enough quality fighters that he can do a SHOBOX level cards on Tuesdays and Fridays and 2 big cards on showtime on saturday nights.

We could get 147, 154, 175 and 122/126 cleaned out over the course of the year given that Haymon and Arum are talking.

I am cautiously optimistic.

I'd like to see this change asap:

Haymon Fighter Activity in 2016:


This is unacceptable imo. So many fighters, so little of them actually fight and worse, the best rarely fight the best (frampton vs santa cruz is a good example of what they should be doing with all their fighters like thurman vs garcia etc etc). Anyways, I don't think anyone is holding their breath, just skeptical that anything will change since nothing that people promised or imagined has been delivered.

Atleast give credit to the person that made that picture

Haymon may be unintentionally doing the right thing putting all these fighters on the shelf. It would look like he's not budging to their demands of excessive payment. Keep them inactive for one more year and you can be sure they'll accept any offer that comes their way.

Well 1 thing is for sure, fighters purses are going to have to become more realistic. Lets just see how the fighters react to taking a bigger risk for a "perceived" smaller reward.
Haymon would benefit sacrificing some of his guys to Arum and De La Hoya to have them pay their purse instead of him paying them all the time like he did with Khan. And in all reality if PBC truly wanted to take over boxing, PBC fighters need to go out and beat Top Ranks, K2, and GBP's guys.

Most of these fighters don't even know their worth. A fighter with 12 fans shouldn't expect more. And if he's paid more than he's worth, then there would be no incentive for him to promote himself by fighting in a fan-friendly style. Or at least help in the general promotion of his fights.

Im willing to bet its not as easy as us armchair fans think it is

[Jsmooth9876]

Good to see them still gonna be putting fights on but damn, did they not know they were severely overpaying the fighters for mediocre fights? Half the ******s on this forum could have pointed that out to them..

It's sourced on the imgur page

While I agree their marquee fighters need to be fighting more then once a year if you look at TR or GB most of their fighters aren't doing much more as of right now

GB
Canelo 2
Rosado 2
Ortiz 1 ( No longer signed )
Matthysse 0
Lemiuex 1 ( I think )
Ali 2

TR

Crawford 2
Ramirez 1
Bradley 1
Vargas 1 + 1 in NOv
Manny1+1 in NOv
Valdez 2-3
Loma 1 + 1 in Dec
Walters 0 + 1 in Dec
Rios 0
Postol 1

What's the difference between PBC, TR & GB

As for the guys with 0 fights most have a reason
Alexander - opiate addiction
Chavez - Injuries
Tarver - PEDs and old as dust
Omar - seems Mentally unfit
Mares - Didn't get NY clearance
Lamont ????

'Overspending' doesn't necessarily automatically translate to mean fight purses. Could be a lot of things (number of cards, costs of time-buys, production costs, etc.).
