    Haymon overpaying his fighters has gone on to result in a lot of his fighters simply being inactive because the funds are not there for them to fight regularly on their current pay... and when his fighters do fight it's often against weak opponents that are in budget.

    We do not know if Hearn's DZN deal will end up the same way at this stage in time, but considering the budget they've talked about you'd envision it wouldn't be the case to begin with at the very least.

    You're comparing apples to oranges.

      Hey when it comes to DAZN I’m going to overpay these guys it’s great for them , All we do is overpay AJ opponents

      But when it comes to Wilder we refuse to overpay
      We’ve decided to put our foot down
      The **** you snorting boy ?

      Hearn first offered 6 times his biggest pay day

      Now he has offered even more than that

      Lmao you lot are fools, without Joshua, wilder makes 1.5m per fight

      Joshua makes 20m with or without wilder

      That’s because one is a super star and the other is a bum

        Hearn hasnt had his first show yet so you can't even compare.
        Face it... Haymon overpaid for **** fights. Floyd can admit it.. why can't you
        haymons fighters seem happy with their schedule and pay....all floyd has said is that haymons treatment has bred some spoiled brat behavior from some of their guys....if you actually read the quote thats what a normal human would get from it

        i dont have to compare haymon to a hearn before hearns first show...because hearn will act exactly the same...because he already acts the same exact way with his guys and subpar opponents.....maybe hearns guys will be more active but lets not act like they will be in superfights every time out lol

          lol....here you are acting like every top guy, in the world, is constantly fighting top level opposition

          hearn acts no different than haymon currently...they both put their guys in, at certain times, with weak opposition...thats how you build fights in the future and build fighter profiles...everyone does it

          haymons guys arent unhappy with their pay and tv exposure...thats for sure....i think the last time we heard about some guy complaining about haymon it was some no name C level fighter who haymon couldnt find any fights for and probably didnt care about

          take a look at haymons entire schedule...there have been many very good/great fights/matchups......you simply pick out and see the ones you know are weak....which every promoter does

            [1] Not remotely. Nowhere have I even remotely insinuated that in my post.

            [2] Of course they're not... they're getting paid handsomely for doing next to nothing. That doesn't change the fact that the situation is not good for boxing.

            [3] Of course there have, I didn't say there hasn't been... just that there hasn't been enough.

              No one has put on better fights than Haymon over the past 2-3 years.

                what is enough?

                how is the situation not good for boxing if most people recognize al is putting on the best shows, overall, in boxing?

                you guys act as if hearn would sign broner and put him in with brook, khan and t crawford in a year...lol....

                like i said...everyone was complaining about broner and askin how hes still gets fights

                now people are acting suped that hes gonna fight 3x in a year...lol

                the point was...if haymon was overpaying guys why are you guys cheerleading hearn to pay them more than what haymon was? that was the point/question

                  When Lomachenko was making $750k fighting on Bradley's undercards in a mismatch was he being overpaid or was that Bob investing in him?

                    HBO isn't overpaying guys. What's the reason for their fighters being inactive?

                      Suprised you had time to remove AJ c.ock out your mouth and Hearns c.ock out your a.ss to reply to my post

                      That initial offer was universally looked at as a insincere offer from fans and media that Hearn made knowing it’d be rejected

                      Hearns counter offer hasn’t been reported who’s to say if it’s another BS offer or not

                      Yeah I get it AJ a global superstar , Wilders a multi-millionaire peasant

                      AJ can hide in the Uk and fight a bunch of fights no one cares about because fans like you will swing off his nuts regardless instead of wanting him to fight the other champ in the division and the biggest fight possible For both

                      Grown men like yourself acting like a Cheerleader for your favourite athlete and his promoter is f.ucking sad man
