    Not sure what the fanbase is but I find it interesting that there is greater backlash for a man who takes the extra money out of the promoter's pocket and put it in the hands of boxers, and has given us better matchups over the past couple years at a lower cost.

    Come to think of it, if you work for a promoter, it makes sense for you to hate him. And same for the media that these promoters have in their pockets. The ones who tell you PBC is going out of business even though they've done 60 shows in the past year, and praise a promoter like GBP who are in the red and are one Canelo loss from another Oscar coke binge and shop closing.

        gaymon overpaying fighters is a big problem. that is why most pbc fighters are inactive.

          True. They're also starting to smear ESPN now that it's being associated with Arum and Oscar. Remember when Haymon signed a number of fights with ESPN supposedly to replace FNF?

            Only threads started about Haymon is by people like you who bash a guy you don't know and never even heard SPEAK A WORD! What Fanbase? Because some give him credit for taking care of his fighters getting them paid well and many of them including his young prospects live well?

                Out of all the promoters/managers , he is the one which doesnt rip off the fighters

                And recently his matchmaking has been good

                He needs to have his pbc shows on a set channel at a set time . People wont realise boxing is on if you have shows at randomly different times and on random channels

                      Man these guys are warriors I even turned down the career path cause the money wasn't worth it, how is it a bad thing fighters make something when the event generates much more, you basically want modern slavery.
