Has there ever been a worse promoter than al haymon?

Yeah, but he's the first person they'd listen to and thank after their fights. They have no promoters. What Al says goes, or they can hit the road. It's his organization (PBC). He's not the only one to blame, however. All these other promoters and networks suck as well.Al is an Advisor and he is pretty damn good at advising these primadonna boxers. You see elite boxers fighting boxers with losing records and they get paid really well for it. Great for the boxers, but not so much for us the fans who want to see the elite face the elite.
NO EXCUSES FOR NOT MAKING THE FIGHTS.
If they keep not giving the fans the fights we want, we'll leave. I know I am for sure. I'll give it till the end of this year. Really tired of this politics shit.
Fuck the PBC and all these other networks and promoters!Comment

Yeah theirs tons of fights to be made, but theirs no push(promotion) behind any so that allows fighters to pick and chose which fight they want instead of kinda forcing their hand to face the challenge or receive some backlash from the fans and media (which isnt really a bad thing either still free press).
Im looking forward to these heavyweight figths, parker vs aj, wilder vs ortiz then hopefully aj vs widler and you still have tyson furing in the backdrop trying to get in the mix so its gonna be a fun year or 2.
Top fights that should have been done already
Khan vs Brook
koavelev vs stenvenson
and top fights that should be underway heavily being pushed and promoted to happen in the next 12-18 months
Spence vs Crawford
(crawford should get himself a big win at 147 first, and spence should dispose of peterson in flashy fashion but in all actuality this fight can marinate some more)
Loma vs Mikey
(this fight should happen now or never, mikey is big and this is the close in weight they'll ever be imo, everyone wants this fight now only question is doe sloma dare to be great)
Aj vs Wilder
(great heavyweight fight the two top HW that actually look like HW fighters, this has a great build up underway with each facing good oppenents next to parlae that into their show down)
Charlo vs canelo
(charlo needs to maybe face jacob and KO him and canelo can face BJS and beat him and then the stage is set for Charlo vs Canelo, however charlo team etc need to get on the promotion and push charlo out there)Comment

Bold 1: Do you have a video or something where he's promoting fights? From what I've seen, he pays other promoters to do that, although they do none of that. Nobody promotes anything at PBC that much, not even the fighters themselves.He skirts around the promoter label by calling himself an advisor, but we all know he is dual-hatted as a promoter/manager, which is why he is in violation of the Muhammad Ali Act. This is a guy who comes from the notoriously corrupt music industry, so don't think for a moment he isn't shady.
But when you look at all of the talent he snatched up, and that he has champions who still aren't household names, you have to wonder why fighters are staying with him. My guess is they enjoy making <$2M per fight while being matched against mostly soft opposition. They can milk those titles and they are shielded from other dangerous fighters who are signed with different promoters. That way he keeps everything in-house. How he still managed to lose half a billion dollars in three years is still a mystery.
Bold 2: And vice versa.Comment

He’s never done an interview. Does that sound like promotion to you?He skirts around the promoter label by calling himself an advisor, but we all know he is dual-hatted as a promoter/manager, which is why he is in violation of the Muhammad Ali Act.

Top Rank has 2 of the top 5 p4p and both aren't stars. It ain't just on Haymon or Bob, I mainly put the blame on the legends not "passing the torch". The stars of the past 5 years are Floyd, Manny, and Cotto. Canelo fought 2 of them and is now a star as well as AJ. A couple more stars will emerge in the next 2 years, just takes timing.Comment
