There have been some good haymon fights. But mostly on showtime championship boxing really. There been handful good ones on fox etc but very few and far between and there alot of headscratchers too. Think of the stable he has. I think arums done just enough as well. Hopefully they all get their **** together and every one puts up best fights. Haymon guys like to fight 1-2 times yr though and then its ok fights and all they wanna do is wait and wait on rematches that not very many ppl want. I dont think its a big blowout lile tou do though. Good fights are dsg vs porter, spence vs either. And spence vs thurman etc. And its been what 3 yrs and its been vwrt disapointing to me. I guess i had high hopes since lots of top guys were signed to him. Either way all of these promotors should be doing way better jobs. ImoTR never gave us anything on ESPN that matches what PBC gave us on Showtime and CBS until 2017! TR and HBO gave us too many BS PPVs, and Haymon changed the game! Now Bob is playing catch-up! Bob knows the deal:
December 7, 2017:
Arum has no problem with working out a talent trade relationship with Showtime Sports head Stephen Espinoza - an arrangement where the two sides would make talent available to each other for necessary fights.
The veteran promoters realizes that it's not realistic to believe that every significant fight involving one his boxers will end up on ESPN.
Maybe Crawford fights a Showtime fighter like Keith Thurman on ESPN, but an ESPN fighter like Manny Pacquiao would fight Danny Garcia on Showtime.
That's the kind of relationship Arum is aiming for - a scenario that benefits both sides.
"Lets not look at promoters particularly, lets look at networks. Over at Showtime, Espinoza is a very smart guy. And his boss is a very big fight fan, a good friend of mine, Les Moonves, and Moonves will make these fights happen. They can't all be on ESPN nor can they all be on Showtime - so there is something called trade," Arum told BoxingScene.com...
"The big boys, whether it's CBS, ABC, FOX, ESPN - they have no problem with college football... arranging who gets which game and so forth. I think it will be the same and it should be the same with Showtime, CBS and Top Rank - that if they need a Top Rank fighter to fight on Showtime, we'll make them available. And if there is a fighter who traditionally fights on Showtime or CBS, they will make him available to ESPN.
"I think that we'll work very, very well with [Showtime, CBS] - at least that's my hope."
Unfortunately for Loma, Bob doesn't feel the same way about Peter Nelson and HBO, nor is his relationship as good with Oscar, as it is with Al Haymon!Comment

All I can tell you is "stay tuned!" March and April look very nice so far! Wilder/Ortiz card March 3rd, Prograis/Indongo March 9th, Garcia/Lipinets card on March 10th, Lara/HUrd April 7th, Broner/Figueroa April 21st, and Stevenson/Jack May 19th! I have no complaints!Comment

So why is bud gonna be on ESPN ppv if arum is nervous about a limited audience
See this is why haymon doesn’t have to give his fighters to bob to make fights happen, if bob doesn’t wanna use hbo then al shouldn’t have to send guys to himComment

For once I will agree on many counts except for the FACT that Haymon is a mismatch flipping sob that supports fighters like Charlos who love mismatches & lets them rest on their Laurel's instead of pushing them to prove themselves so their stock goes way up,gbp does exactly that with their fighters regardless of what anyone says,Arum is the devil incarnate in every way shape or form,& haymon is an ok dude with different flaws/pros going 4 him,fishnets is fishnets nuff said...Last edited by kushking; 02-22-2018, 12:52 PM.Comment
