    Well 2016 was the year of "maybe in 2017" for everyone not just Haymon fighters. Canelo-GGG, Joshua-Wilder, etc so we'll see.

      Great news if true but i'll believe it when I see it. Haymon certainly needs it to have any chance of succeeding with his experiment

        No matter what happens, it seems he always jumps in and says "that was the plan all along".

          He's getting off to a good start on Showtime.

          Cuellar/Mares
          Charlo/Williams

          DeGale/Jack
          Pedraza/Davis

          Frampton/Santa Cruz
          Zlaticanin/Garcia

          Broker/Granados

          Thurman/Garcia

          Not a bad fight in the bunch.

              Yep.......

                  His Harvard MBA sure came in handy when devising this plan.

                    Haymon finally woke up? How did it take this long? $430 million could have produced tons of meaningful fights. Never seen a guy so terrified of pitting his top fighters against each other.

                      As a boxing fan...I HOPE SO! That is what boxing needs right now on top of fighters doing a better job selling themselves!
