Comments Thread For: How Top Rank's Deal With ESPN Changes Boxing

Hear the responses and anyone with a brain can observe. Bob Arum himself said what AL Haymon was doing was bad for boxing. Can't you guys see this website is pro Arum? Anyway yes it's good for boxing. And mismatches are a part of the business to build up the big fights. It's just when guys like Danny Garcia who proclaims he's the best continues to fight tomato cans is when you question the match making. You can't just take Crawford and put him against Lomachenko because no one outside of hardcore boxing fans know who the hell these guys are. They find out by these guys beating the hell out of some poor boxer.

Yes, it is good boxing is on espn, but the reason why is not. HBO decided it is not even worth it to show boxing. hbo basically left boxing. espn isn't paying more. This was not a choice Arum made, it was a choice hbo made. To leave boxing altogether. I don't think that is a good thing. But let's hype Arum up. He gave us Pac vs. a schoolteacher.

What is good for boxing is pbc. Thurman-Porter and Thurman-Garcia. PBC went off the premium channels by choice, that was great. Unfortunately, every article and comment was how pbc was killing boxing. Propaganda at its finest. How much does Arum pay Reeno for such coverage?

All of sudden free boxing on tv is great. When it was PBC it was nothing but hate about so called mismatches . Now that its arum its so great for boxing. Even though his first two out of three cards are mismatches. Smfh. But we all know why Haymon gets hate and anyone else gets love. Unless they are affiliated with Floyd Mayweather or Al Haymon.

Don't worry if the ESPN cards are mismatches they will be critisized also.

****** nonsense. There have been many articles that were clearly pro Haymon/PBC.

[The Big Dunn]

Exactly.

Hell, you can already see it in this very article. The writer mentioned that PBC got the ball rolling on free tv but that it had "hiccups" due to terrible mismatches.

But then he goes on to be excited about Lomachenko vs Marriaga...despite the fact that it's a terrible mismatch!

And he excuses it by saying that Lomachenko's skills will be on display. Why didn't PBC get any of that spin control from the boxing media? I'm sure the skills of their stars were on display too in their mismatches.

All I want is for the boxing media to be fair and to hold everyone to the same standards. Is that too much to ask?

Great fucking post homie. Agree 100%.

arum is in a crusade to rectify all the damages that fraud jr and ****** lovin' gaymon did to the sport of boxing. arum knows that it will take years to even scratch the mounds of issues that two cheatin' sonovabitch did to the sport.

Agreed....

JoeMan hates haymon and Floyd. Don't expect him to be honest about something if it means he has to give haymon credit or point out when he gets unequal or unfair treatment.
