Why do people talk trash about Al Haymon

[Combat Talk Radio]

Haymon definitely paid fighters far too much so they got comfy and realised they didnt have to fight the hard fights for decent money.

Not sure how such a thing is even acceptable to people - that these guys who are literally risking their lives, yes even in bum fights, should accept pennies on the dollar. It's not the right answer.

Boxing paychecks are low all around. There's no logical reason that Roy Jones should have had to come out of pocket to help Gerald McClellan, who is still hurting for money. I'm sorry but it's BS.

how does a man who never did any interviews get so much hate?

And I think he gets the hate cause he never shows himself

Exactly. They don't see him, they don't hear him, so they have no ammunition to hate on him. That just makes them angrier.

what? why are we going back to the crooked mid 90's? that was 20 years ago in an era rife with corruption.

in this current day, as in the last 5 or so years. there is not a % of fighters on the skill level of those in PBC that have been lowballed that could even be considered as significant.. maybe one bad apple manager etc

But dont turn around and say Haymon didnt give large paydays to some of his fighters to fight opposition that didnt warrant those pay days.

Christ, even Mayweather.. the king of wiping his a$$ on dollar bills said haymon was paying his fighters too much for their fights.

Broner got lowballed by Bob Arum in mid 2016 for asking for what was a reasonable number given the obvious payday on a Pacquiao matchup. Meanwhile, we get Jessie Vargas who accepts six figures just to get outclassed.

Algieri got lowballed by DeGuardia (and was stupid enough to sign on off it) in exchange for getting knocked out for the first time by Errol Spence.

Steve Cunningham made a whopping $70,000 to face Tyson Fury. Even I make more than that.

Boxers are getting lowballed all over the place, don't get health insurance, don't get any protection whatsoever AND have the overhead of their training team, nutritionists, gyms, etc.

Any boxer who has at least 20 fights under the belt should be making $250k/fight MINIMUM. If it's on PPV they should be banking at least $500k. If they're undefeated they should be at least $1 million.

That Algieri got $1.5 million against Manny while Manny got over $20 million and has nothing to show for it is a joke.

So callled boxing "fans" crying because they feel fighters make too much money.

What kind of lives do these people live?

[therealpugilist]

Because he's linked to Floyd and they hate Floyd

The butt hurt digs deep


Anyone affiliated with may weather they'll hope they'd fail

Whether business types like Haymon, shaefer or fighters like Broner or those in his stable


Its pathetic considering the man is literally a ghost


I guess these dumb azzes thought no one would notice

[j.razor]

Not sure why this has anything to do with race. The only race is human. We just wanna see the best fighters.

right...but I was replying to what moneykasha said
