    Oh Chapelle.. He kind of lost it man once he signed a deal for like 50mil.. He couldn't handle the money & media.. In an interview few yrs back he confessed that it was way too much i.e., money & all the media attention associated with it.. He turned down the money & He ran off to South Africa for a few months.. He did not return to big time stand ups for a few years & only performed in small clubs & stuff..

They going back to Showtime getting offered less money for tougher fights or Showtime telling them no we won't pay so they sit on the shelf.

        There was a report early last year that Haymon was thinking about selling off a lot of fighter contracts because he can't keep these guys happy with all the budget issues with PBC, canceling tv dates, slashing purses, ect. PBC punted all their remaining TV dates to 2017 basically closed up shop TWICE in 2016 with long months stretches with no shows. You can only operate like this so long before fighters get disgruntled.
        We'll see how much Lara will get from the Yuri Foreman fight.

          Oh... Yea, that's the story I read. Funny thing is, he looked like a crazy dude and not the type to do something like that huh? Or be bothered by it anyway.

                  If PBC is failing, why does Haymon have more power than ever, more world champions than ever, more rising contenders than ever and more control of Showtime than ever?

                  Haymon's managerial contracts offer nothing other than his best efforts. He doesn't need to afford to pay anything. The top PBC stars and the top HBO stars fight the same amount of times each year. The difference is that PBC fans aren't being asked to spend $70 to watch fights on pay-per-view.


                  There was a report early last year that Haymon was thinking about selling off a lot of fighter contracts because he can't keep these guys happy with all the budget issues with PBC, canceling tv dates, slashing purses, ect.

                  And I just wrote a report that you're a transsexual **********. Stop believing unsubstantiated rumors from unreliable sources. If you had any understanding of how Haymon's contracts are structured, you'd realize how ridiculous your post is. Selling off a lot of fighter contracts? Hahahaha. You're an imbecile. He has his guys locked up for 7 years and guarantees them nothing. He's not a promoter. He's a manager.

                  What manager exactly would he be selling these contracts to? And for what purpose? You don't make any sense.

                    Haymon is a manager.
