    He's really going out of his way to not fight Loma it seems. Shame but I'll probably give up on Mikey after his next fight.
    Man I forgot about the Showtime comments. Dana White said he will never work with Showtime again and trashed them. So if he signs and Dana White has control over his career and he is saying I won't work with Showtime, Top Rank, Golden Boy that sucks and kills a lot of fights.

      He could be paying him a small fee to just look over the contracts for fights Hearn makes. But I could care less what Jacobs is paying Haymon for. I do care about who is making the fights and picking the opponents and that is 100% Hearn. What if any role Haymon still has in Jacobs career has been greatly diminished. Hell Hearn was mocking Haymon by saying he wants to steal away the Charlo's next saying he can pay them more then what they are getting from Haymon right now.

        You're right, he could be!

        He may even be paying him in Pacquiao's ******-currency.

        Or maybe in Jack's beanstalk beans!

          Was Haymon collecting a bigger percent from Jacobs fights when he was acting as manager and promoter? Or now that he is just looking over contracts for a flat fee with Hearn having complete control over Jacobs career? lol Again whatever Jacobs decides to pay Haymon for now in his diminished role is on him. I could care less about that part. Hearn is the one steering his career, picking his opponents NOT Haymon. And if this deal with Dana White results in White having that same control and say over Mikey's career sorry that sucks as a boxing fan. Creates more roadblocks to fights I want to see.

            Haymon acting as a promoter?

            You must’ve been a part of Golden Boy’s legal team

              Whether it can be legally proven don't mean shyt. Everyone knows it exists and Lou Dibella and the rest of the sham promoters in the PBC circle have no say in the fights that are made and where they end up. Haymon controls those areas that a fighters real promoter handles and double dips as manager and promoter. The question is if UFC going to just replace Lou Dibella/sham promoter or is Mikey signing a real promoter like Jacobs and other former PBC fighters have been doing lately diminishing Haymon's role and say in the fights being made. If Dana is just a sham and Haymon is running the show I don't mind this deal. If Dana is the real promoter and he is running the show I hate this deal and I have major doubts that we ever see him fight the Loma/Linares winner.

                Of course the law doesn’t matter! Let’s go with message board hearsay for the win.


                Too bad that failed when Golden Boy actually tried to, you know, prove it

                  no it doesn't because nobody is talking about the legal implications we are talking about simply who is making the matches and picking the opponents. Is it Haymon or is it a sham promoter? Today in the PBC bubble it's Haymon or do you disagree with this fact? When Jacobs signed with Hearn that changed. Is that not also a fact? Stop playing semantics

                    Oh, you aren’t talking about whether what you say is fact?

                      Answer the question when Jacobs was on PBC and Lou was his sham promoter who had the say in who he was fighting Lou or Haymon? Now that he is signed with Hearn who has say in his fights Hearn or Haymon? It's a FACT Haymon's role has been greatly diminished because he is no longer the defactor promoter for Jacobs. Hearn doesn't need any permission from haymon to make fights he chooses. Whether Jacobs wants to still retain haymon in a lesser role to just look over contracts for fights Hearn makes is on him and irrelevant to my point. Hearn is in full control of Jacobs career now NOT Haymon.
