Al Haymon should be thanked for the great middleweight fight last night.

[Dip_Slide]

Al Haymon made the fight happen while risking his best middleweight fighter against the guy nobody wanted to fight on a network that hates him and is very biased towards GGG.

The HBO hype/ Haymon hate machine was the main reason people would root for a foreigner against the hometown fighter who wasn't expected to take the fight especially on HBO, who wasn't expected to make it past 8 rounds, who fought the fight of his life, great exciting fighter 90% KO ratio and of course he has a great story. I was disgusted with the American fans on Saturday night and I think because of them the judges treated GGG as the
hometown fighter and gave him the benefit of the doubt in the close rounds.

So Al Haymon gets no credit from you guys?

[Thraxox]

No because Al haymon doesn't care about Jacobs and is focused on Charlo on the MW. Jacobs was on his own in that fight.

Al should be thanked for the first half of this years fights he's partly responsible for about 70% of the fights being made so far this year.

Jacobs was heavier, bigger, younger, missed ibf weigh in. You talk as if he didnt had advantages.

Thank him for what, he's doing his job and getting paid pretty well for it. He should be thanking us who paid to watch the for paying his bills. Along with Golovkin, Jacobs, and HBO.

You guys are weird.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

his 15% from jacobs is thanks enough.

[The Gambler1981]

He took a calculated risk with Jacobs, he really had nothing to do for him at 160 so he figured screw it and rolled the dice to see if he could get a huge return. He didn't quite get that but Jacobs really advanced his career from most observers, so it was a smart move.

It was risk but it was a pretty obvious risk to take from Haymon's perspective, what is next for Jacobs is where Haymon's job really comes into play.
