Maybe posters here should watch the interview instead (fight hype). He gave a very political answer lol
Definitely didn't sound all that eager to fight the "PBC" guys.

Originally posted by pillowfists98 View PostHaymon makes more in house fights then Arum though. Just look at the guys Mikey Garcia's been fighting for example. And whats wrong with Spence or Thurman fighting on ESPN? It will get a larger audience there then on Showtime.
Let me ask you this-if you have a fight on ESPN, against an opponent with an ESPN deal, promoted by a guy with an exclusive ESPN deal, would you be completely conformable?

Crawford has already fought two Haymon guys plus guys like Gamboa, Jean, Lundy, Indongo, etc, etc. Then you look at a guy like Danny Garcia or Porter and almost all they fight is PBC guys so you can see who the real obstacle is in making these fights.
Not that I blame Haymon though. He would rather his guys lose to an "in house" option than an outsider that he doesn't have any options on. In a lot of ways Haymon is exactly the same as what you blame Arum for

And Mikey isn’t signed to Haymon.

Originally posted by pillowfists98 View PostThe same goes for Crawford. Do you believe a non Haymon managed opponent is going to get a fair shake on Showtime? I don't. Haymon is shady as hell and will try to get every advantage possible for his top guys.
I think there would be concern either way so the fight likely needs to be a joint PPV, not just on ESPN.
