    Yeah exactly more Hearn double speak

    I’m the greediest person I know I want to go where the most $ is or My main objective is to get my fighters paid the most they can to all of a sudden it’s not about the $ and We’re willing to take a paycut because we’ve earned the right to have AJ/Wilder in the UK

      how is the situation not good for boxing if most people recognize al is putting on the best shows, overall, in boxing?[1]

      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 [2]
      [1] Simple. His best fighter's aren't active. Or you saying for example Spence fighting a grand total of 1 time last year is good for boxing?

      I'ma ignore all the Broner crap because i've not once mentioned him at all.

      [2] To reiterate what i've already said: Overpaying fighters is only an issue if overpaying them results in there not being enough budget for fighters to remain active. Doesn't seem like Haymon has the backing anymore to continue to pay his guys the fees he has been paying and as such they're just not fighting so he doesn't have to fork out too much.

      That may end up being the same kind of deal if some of Haymon's fighters sign with Hearn but we don't really know that for sure. Though we do know that Hearn will be putting on a fair few shows this year (can't remember the exact amount) so the likelihood is whoever he signs will actually be active... for a while at least.

        Really? When was the last time a Haymon event won FOTY or even came close.

        What you've just said is subjective. For every fight you think was great because you're emotionally invested in the fighters and their culture identity..I can name you a non-haymon fight I think was just as good.

          How is that statement subjective ?

          Haymon and PBC the last 3 years have put on the most fights where it’s the best fighting the best in the division ( top 10 vs top 10 ) which as a boxing fan is what you should want and care about

          It’s not even close I bet if you look at all the fights the PBC or their affiliated fighters has more best vs best fights then all the other en****** combined

          This year as a example from the top of my head HBO , Top Rank , Matchroom have had

          Rungsai vs Estrada
          AJ vs Parker
          Valdez vs Quigg
          Bivol vs Barrera
          Loma vs Linares
          Horn vs Crawford ( next week )

          Throw in the WBSS with

          Groves / Eubank
          Gassiev / Dorticos
          Usyk/ Breidis

          That’s 9 maybe I left out a couple

          PBC affiliates so far have

          Spence / Lamont
          Hurd / Lara
          Wilder /Ortiz
          Santa Cruz / Mares
          Adonis / Jack
          Garcia / Lipinets
          Frampton / Donaire
          Russell / Diaz
          Broner / Vargas
          Degeale / Truax
          Charlo / Trout

          That’s at least 11

          As far as FOTY it’s 1 fight and subjective and yeah they’re great fights for their entertainment but rarely the winner is a fight that determines the best guy in the division

            Sure. So go ahead. Make the comparison. Compare last year and this year, for instance.
