Originally posted by Scipio2009 View PostI've already broken down why the "Haymon is a promoter" argument is silly; you've never seen Haymon book a venue, you've never seen Haymon talk to an athletic commision, you've never seen Haymon do any of the grunt work that you'd expect of a promoter.
And that "he even pays the fighters" is a joke too; Haymon Sports acts as a pass-through vehicle, getting the money from the parties who pay to the various fighter's LLCs. {even in the Chavez Jr example, the two checks clearly showed Chavez's company getting a check for the Showtime TV money, and then another check from the actual event (a double shot of shots, off of Chavez's name)}.
Haymon's aim, seemingly in the long run, is to move boxing to the point where the fighter takes the lead, not the promoter. Not everyone is going to be Floyd, but Floyd put up the money to stage his fight, Floyd put up the purse for his opponent, had his own camp promote the show, and then Floyd only made his only money on the event on the back end (having the TV guarantee from Showtime didn't hurt).
Danny Garcia's "tune-up fight" is Danny Garcia's show; DSG Promotions is on the marquee, Marshall Kaufman's King Promotions has been brought in to handle the logistics of putting on the fight, Garcia is partnering with a Philadelphia charity for the fight, and nearly all of the non-TV fights are featuring fighters from the Philadelphia area. DSG Promotions (my guess for the name of Danny Garcia's LLc) is going to get a check for appearing in the main event of the PBC on SpikeTV card, but DSG Promotions is also going to get a check for the proceeds of the physical event.
If you have the wherewithal, there's no real need to wait for a promoter to simply cut you a check.

Originally posted by Motorcity Cobra View PostHBO is the hold up. They're being cheap and Loeffler has to find some extra money. Put the fight on PPV or go to Showtime. If HBO don't wanna pay for fights they really need to get out of the fight business. Ten years ago this fight would've been made in a week. This is getting ridiculous. You can't give us the fights we want to see on a shoestring budget. Either **** or get off the potLast edited by al-Xander; 03-17-2017, 02:26 PM.

1) You just admitted that you are a "GGG hater" (whatever that might be);
2) and why did you feel the need to give an answer?... The guy didn't even mention your name...

Go somewhere else with your silly ass posts.
And to answer your question, I don't like it when people spread wrong info and bs around just cause they have an agenda.
