Comments Thread For: Spence: I Should've Been Back Sooner, Want Three Fights in 2018

[IMDAZED]

it kinda seems difficult to see a haymon fighter fighting more than twice a year. the big names are fighting once a year

Applies across the board. Aside from Gervonta Davis and Vasyl Lomachenko, most big names fight 1-2 times a year.

Since Thurman/Spence unification is on hold until 2019

- Peterson
- Ponomarev/Ocampo winner
- Sergei Lipinets

^^ That Spence year

needs to get rid of haymon if he wants to be a superstar. The talent is there and theres plenty of match ups available at 147.

Who is to blame?

If he's with TR, all hell will break loose and all kinds of ducking accusations would ensue on his fighters.

Not when it comes to secretive PBC and Showtime. We don't know if they offered the fight to Garcia, Porter, etc., who priced himself out, what have you.

In contrast, we know exactly what's going on when it comes to Hearns, Arum, GBP, etc. Not with PBC/SHO.

I believe there's a reason PBC fighters mostly fight once a year. Haymon pays them like 2 mill per fight. I bet Haymon keeps them to a minimum and tell them "not alot of fighters get 2 mill a fight"... yet they only fight once a year, go figure.

Nobody cares anymore.
Fans are used to seeing Haymon fighters fight less often.
It's no big deal anymore.
Even guys like Collazo, Diaz and others have disappeared.
