Randomly big fan of Spencer. Just threw him on a future title holder list in another thread. His lil bro is a bad motorscooter to, but is probably 4-6 years from turning pro.Joey Spencer just popped up on FS1 in his second fight and looked stellar; Haymon will basically end up with the US Olympic boxing team, but a lot of the top American amateurs will end up with Haymon, too. If Olympic Boxing goes the way of the dodo, the focus shifts to the US Nationals/Worlds for talent.
But to the point there have always been 1-0 high level amateurs/promising pros on shows. I don't see how Haymon is doing anything groundbreaking there or why he'd have the market cornered. I mean 2016 was a pretty garbage year. I think "Also Ran" got most of the Olympic Team this go around unlike 2012 when Haymon did get them on lock. And Arum still came away with the prize of the US team, Shakur Stevenson, which if Haymon had them on lock for real wouldn't be happening.
I think I worded the bad PR thing badly here to have you go down a whole other hallway.Haymon's PR is only "bad" in most online forums or places cheerleading HBO. HBO doesn't have much nice to say about the man, but every other broadcaster never has an ill word to say about Haymon.
Toe-to-toe Tuesday/PBC on FS1 has had competitive fights from basically the jump, imo.
What I meant to say was that whole UFC model, iron sharpening iron, cream rises to the top means of building stars has a bad rep in boxing. I think there are many who've suggested it ruins fighters. Erikson Lubin being one such fighter mentioned as being ruined by some of the aggressive matchmaking that happens in the PBC between guys on the rise.
Boxing fans appear to believe the strategy of easing a boxer into slightly tougher & tougher matches while exposing him to different styles at a pace that'll take him from pro noob to title holder is about 3-5 years is the superior means of moving a fighter.
I mean Arum gets praised for days for that sh^t. But its a bs method of finding quality. What it does do is get promoters finding the best guys who can sell tickets & gets them cleverly maneuvered as much as needed to secure impressive wins & avoid rough challenging fights where an L could take place.
Meanwhile the real best guy in the division could be the 5th string guy in that same promoters weight division & never get a chance to prove himself as such til years later.
/rant cuz I was just ranting there for a lil whileComment

You can't talk sense with him. He said a U.S. federal judge was wrong in his ruling. He knows the law better than a U.S. federal judge. That's how deep his hate for Haymon goesComment

Those technological issues really only existed for week 1. After that, DAZN broadcasts were better than Bell or Rogers, if I recall. Not to mention subscribers also got NFL Network and Redzone.This will not go well.
DAZN AKA "DAIDIOTS" got the rights to stream NFL games in Canada last year cutting out the cable and satellite companies out of the lucrative NFL package that gets you every game for the season. The problem was DAZN didn't have the technology to support it. Many people complained of terrible quality and video buffering etc. The NFL had to take it away from DAZN midway through the season and kick them to the curb.
DAZN also scored the rights to show Joshua-Parker fight in Canada. It's unknown how that went as I don't know anybody that was willing to pony up $20 to see that fight.
And now subscribers get dozens of more boxing matches for free...hard to complain.Comment
