Bu but haymon taking over doe. Arum stay clowning on that boy. He even got a token ring girl

Read the link in my post. In some ways this is connected to Haymon, if you understand business strategy.

Honestly, I'm just glad more boxing is on television and more boxing will be viewed by me. I really don't care who the promoter or network is: Haymon, Arum, Golden Boy, HBO, FS1, ESPN or Showtime; just give me decently matched fights. I follow fighters not promoters or networks.

Lol.... Haymon influenced!

PBC shook up the game.

I dont think it's a time-buy. See my post.

Yeah, I read that article around when it was put up. With PBC likely closing in on the formal deal with Fox/FS1, I'm just not all that sure on the idea of ESPN hitching their wagon to Top Rank.

Fans of promoters, literally the dumbest thing that has ever happened to the sport.

I don't give two ****s. I don't care who puts on the fight, where the fight happens, or who manages the fighters. I want more fights, from more fighters, on free TV. Point blank period.

ESPN made a big mistake paying that money to stream those garbage top rank fights.

Bob Arum keeps revolutionizing the sport and stays one step ahead of everyone including Haymon. Haymon pilfered hundreds of millions of investors money into timebuys and screwed it up by making mismatches. Hes starting to step it up thank god but Arum has Pacquiao who is guaranteed to get big ratings as long as he fights and also Lomachenko and Crawford who are about to take over the sport and many up and comers and Arum was smart to sign shakur and conlan. Every boxer in the world will want to fight on Espn with this kind of backing from espn

In House Fights

I am glad we; the boxing fans, are going to rejoice the free boxing matches. I hope this is not a trend of 95% In house fights and senseless rematches. I only hope, Arum use this opportunity to work with other promoters and produce competitive matches. If Arum work with the other promoters and the networks don't start *****ing, then we are going to behold a speck of the glory and golden days of boxing.
