This is the promoter Haymon should be trying to sign his fighters to.

Yahoo w/Dana comments that feels very corporate:
- In re: to TV deal: "we're still talking to everybody"
- In re: to Nate Diaz: "we offer him a fight every 3 or 4 months...Nothing is going on:
- In re: to Zuffa Boxing: Plans moving forward. Closing in on deal for Mikey Garcia.

well then if this happens what role does that put AH in? Because That would almost make him and zuffa/wme rivals.haymons job is whats best for fighter and zuffa whats best for the event or future of making stars. Does zuffa decide to become a "sham" (this is in quotes because it seems they work for al) or would they become partners in the pbc experiment as them coming to the rescue would help pbc get a better deal with fox? keep in mind with the second option haymon would still have haymon management and pbc would just be the television arm.

Now the boxing community will be diluted with the f4ggy, effeminate MMA fans that don't know chit about their sport let alone boxing.

(I love MMA, but while boxing fans can be more aggressive, rude etc. they at least have some knowledge of the sport and are passionate. MMA fans are mostly skinny f4ggots that get offended too easily and are just jumping on the combat sports bandwagon after the superstars emerged like Ronda and Conor)

The same role he played with Golden Boy. The difference between the MMA and Boxing is the Ali Act. Which is a huge difference

Will depend on what the TV situation ends up looking like.

Haymon already has Showtime/CBS, and I still think that the consolidated PBC deal will end up on FS1/FOX. HBO is basically reverting to Canelo PPV (with any proceeds from Alvarez's PPVs rolled over into a 5-10 date boxing schedule).

Golden Boy basically has a time buy deal for ESPN, and Top Rank Boxing basically has a deal for enough money they can air prospect fights almost exclusively; where ESPN goes when those deals are done is to be seen.

Mikey Garcia is a good fighter to target for a company, but if White doesn't get TV dates, he's stuck.

Not convinced by White coming to boxing , I should it good or bad ?
I ask again aren’t the Zuffa brothers out of the fight game didn’t they sell out ?
This whole thing sounds like a WWE stunt , something Vince McMahon would do : recall XFL
I just hope it makes boxing better
I can understand the White and Hamon hookup
The UFC ain’t pulling the numbers it used to , and PBC just seems boring , cards are average at best

*** dana white, biggest hypocrite and has bashed boxing many times. I don't like his mob boss attitude, I remember him talking ****ting on Marquez saying who is he as a fighter to be fighting mayweather. Dana does a farce a55 conference to bashing the mayweather Marquez fight. Long story short the ferititas his boy hood partners actually promoted some Marquez fights early is his career. The guy just got a taste of a real event and real money with the mayweather mcnuggy fight, and is jumping on the bandwagon. Just my 2 cents guys
