There is no summary. The article has no narrative. It is just an assemblage of facts that the writer has obtained from the legal documents.

There is no summary. The article has no narrative. It is just an assemblage of facts that the writer has obtained from the legal documents.

summary is this:

Haymon wants to keep testimony out that proves hes a theif and wants to the judge to allow email records of someone at GBP calling him a N I G G E R!

Op says we hate Haymon because he's black. Meanwhile Oscar has nobody on his roster worth a damn but Canelo..

Same **** different toilet...

I was surprised to read Canelo is getting 80%

... that was the structure that was in place when he first made the move to headlining status when Richard Schaefer was running the shop, though; assuming I'm remembering correctly, as was the case in the Lara PPV, Alvarez only saw $1.5m on the front end, but he kept the Mexican TV money and was also entitled to 85% of the money on the back-end after costs.

Saul Alvarez was a box office attraction in Mexico before All Star Boxing lost his rights to Oscar De La Hoya; Alvarez's camp (Chepo/Eddie) are obviously looking well after his interests, so it's refreshing to know that the Schaefer situation held.

If they actually have emails of that, it would create A LOT of pull for Haymon on why he didn't want his fighters to sign with them

Alvarez and Haymon doing the right thing with Alvarez vs Chavez Jr.

A bit of an edit, but fixed it for you. Canelo Promotion, Chavez Jr Promotions, and Golden Boy are all putting their hands into this one pot, Golden Boy will largely be the ones handling the logistics of putting together the fight, but Oscar now has Haymon and Alvarez's camp looking after every dollar, to make sure that the fighters get every penny of what is owed to them.

Not trying to spread rumors, but notice that it's been Eric Gomez being the point person for all of the talks (Oscar's friend, but a straight shooter that no one seems to have any issues working with, who has the confidence of Alvarez and Alvarez's camp to do the job, regardless of how much Alvarez may have admired Oscar as a fighter).

If Oscar has another blowup, what is there really to stop Alvarez from hiring Gomez as his #2 at Canelo Promotions, having Canelo Promotions handle their own events, and running everything through Canelo Promotions and not the seeming pass-through (Alvarez already runs his Mexico TV deal through his own company, and I'm fairly certain that the HBO deal is through Canelo's company as well)?

I've posted this a million times but I guess people keeps ignoring it because it's easier to say Haymon stole GBP fighters. This is under oath. This isn't disputed by Golden Boy. This is the truth. GBP put this clause in their contracts. It would allow them to choose who their fighters could hire as a manager. He didn't think it was a good idea for his fighters to sign long term with those stipulations in the contracts.

I dont like haymon and its not cause hes black its cause he got rid of ESPN FIGHT NIGHT!

Friday Night Fights hosted a bunch of **** fights that folks seem to now ignore in their nostalgia; for every Emmanuel Burton war, there were at least 15-20 fights where you'd see some young prospect beating on an aged fighter years beyond any point where they could've competed.

The transition has definitely been tricky, especially in figuring out the timing of things, if things end up with, as I imagine, ESPN featuring an 8-10 card summer boxing series with name fighters in solid fights, world champions making world title defenses, and scraps like Santa Cruz-Mares, ESPN's boxing coverage would be better for the change, and the fans would come to appreciate it more.

Alvarez is loyal to Oscar and Bhop. The same financial theory was rumoured to have been said to Alvarez from Schaeffer. GBP helped Alvarez out with the All-Star boxing fiasco. Alvarez is where he's at because of Oscar. They're good friends.
