Don't be so quick to cross off fighters with Haymon. Haymon spent hundreds of millions of dollars to accumulate the best stable of talent. A stable of talent that he can take anywhere he wants, whenever he wants. If Dana made the right offer, he could grab Haymon's entire stable and take them to whatever network UFC ends up signing with.Comment

Jacobs is with HBO now. There is talk of more guys branching out. This PBC thing is on shaky legs & I don't even understand the battle plan here with Haymon & Showtime thats keeping them aligned in any real way. I know some people are still saying PBC will get a national TV deal, but idk things are seeming less & less likely.
If you can break down why Showtime & Haymon have to stay in business together for the foreseeable future I'd appreciate it cuz I don't really get it & I don't see it.Showtime has a large investment in haymon.
Well Dana gave him high praise. Haymon never talks so who knows who he digs or don't dig, but I'm of the belief Haymon would do business with Satan himself if he thought he could make a good deal for his fighter.And what evidence do we have that haymon is cool with that crook who robs his fighters in the UFC?
Show me the un-greedy promoter? Haymon is about getting his fighters the most money. That can involve anyone. And MMA works like MMA works. Boxing works like boxing works. Why people think Dana is a crook cuz he pays fair market value for his fighters is beyond me. Like I always say the promotions that paid fighters "what they are worth" (allegedly) went broke.Isn't haymon thing about cutting out the greedy promoters so his fighters keep more money in they own pocket. Isn't that the opposite of what white has been about.
Thats not to say there aren't problems with the UFC (the contracts are rumored to be illegal & won't stand up in court + the way fighters got effed over with sponsorship money among them), but the pay isn't one of them as I see it. The big names make millions of dollars with PPV money. And plenty of names make 6 figures. And most guys ain't selling a ticket, just like most boxers, & don't make sh^t, just like most boxers as well.Comment

And if dana don't want to work with oscar why would he allow a purse bid? And HBO just told arum they own Linares rights for his next fight. Either oscar or HBO could kill any purse bid. And mikey/UFC could kill a purse bid. Haymon made quillin throw his belt in the trash because he didn't want to work with jay-z and roc nation who won a purse bid. Duva said HBO wouldn't allow a purse bid with Stevenson. Not to mention Mikey if he beats lipnets will have a belt at 140 and could say why do i care about the belt at 135 go ahead and strip it. If Mikey signs with UFC I put the chances of that fight being made at 5% or lessComment

So you been saying for months that PBC spending hundreds of millions was so haymon could gain control of the sport and cut promoters out and now he's just going to give away that control to...another promoter? Then what was the point of PBC? LMAO
Only way that makes sense is if you admit that PBC failed and haymon wants to cash out and sell off his guys.Comment

I doubt it. I think White probably just stopped by RGBA to check out where some of his fighters train and to make nice with the Garcias.Comment
