Comments Thread For: Arum: 'The Cancer' Al Haymon Will Prevent Crawford-Spence!

[Eff Pandas]

The corrupt relationship between Top Rank and the WBO is a real cancer.

When is Steve Kim or any other boxing journalist going to do an in-depth investigative article on that?

Part of the boxing media's role is supposed to be to act like a watchdog. Not to be bought and paid for and in the pockets of the promoters.

So f#cking this.

I've said this myself a few times. Where is Thomas Hauser on something like this? Where is some budding new boxing journalist trying to make a name for himself talking about this sketchy ass sh^t.

And not just busting Arum's balls cuz there is other sh^t, but Arum & the WBO are in cahoots like no other promoter & ABC group today. This is the 2018 version of Don King & the WBC back in the day.

If Arum is ready go out Bud out there the. Haymon should answer. Spence aka dead man face is overrated. Stiff ass droopy face cowboy sounding weak resume having tool.

They won't do it because that'll be the last time they get special treatment on TR events.

This is another reason I feel Haymon is right in not responding to shots taken in his direction because most of these writers will try and defend their masters.

My thought is there has gotta be SOMEONE out there willing to take a f#cking risk doe. I mean Hauser was busting HBO's balls so much they gave him a job to shut the f#ck up.

I mean for the most part there are a ton of mfers with lil to no access as is in boxing. And a big number of cats making no money & talking about boxing for free seats from my understanding. I'd like to think someone with some ability, some boldness & some investigative skills would do this at some point. I do concede there are a large % of boxing writers who are complete f#cking hacks doe & honestly I'm amazed some of them are even paid in seats to events, but thats a whole other story.

You're not wrong at all. I just think a guy who never talks who speaks up & says some big things that probably open some eyes can have impact well beyond what these mfers talking all the time can have I guess is my main counterargument on why I think Haymon should speak.

Or like I said just hire a legit PBC public facing person who can put all these mfers in their place more every now & again & even more importantly control the PBC narrative & story better which is not something they have & something thats hurting their product.

I dig Sam Watson, but he's not that guy. Tim Smith seems like a really intelligent, thoughtful & real cat, but he's not wanting to be that guy either it would seem. Give me someone out front talking about the Charlo's every week. Telling me whats really going on with Tank. Asking who do fans wanna see Spence fight. This is 2018, a highly media savvy age where people want consistent & high level content, & PBC is ran like its the 1940's outside of their innovative structure in the boxing landscape.

I think someone like Paul Magno should do something about that. Maybe we should just pop him some emails and ask him what he thinks about it.

100% agree with you on this one.

Haymon is a pawn in that game. Stop believing all that ****** pro black consciousness propaganda.

Well, I did mean it tongue-in-cheek, but if Arum comes up missing...

[miked85]

that he has a low welterweight stable for bud

AJ won his first title off a haymon fighter

joe smith got a big win on a pbc card then was able to fight Hopkins on a hbo goldenboy card and make history

Gervonta flew to england for a frank warren card on showtime afternoon broadcast

bud fought felix diaz and john molina

jacobs and wade for ggg

khan and chavez for canelo

haymon fighters do as they please when they want

BUT TO ASK FOR ERROL TO GO ON A ESPN/ESPN PPV platform when his likeness can be used against other welterweights in PBC is dumb, and bob knows this cause he practiced this first, how many time we had to see mike alvarado brandon rios bradley manny etc fight each other


People give haymon **** because he doesn't pander media, and cause alot of his clients are loyal to him, and a select few add race element to it (shout out to that freelance golden boy journalist, that lawsuit and discovery is magic)

mind u Bob took haymon to court also

how u take me to court, make me dismantle some of my clauses with espn in a settlement, but now want to work with me? FOH

[LCRUMMY36]

Haymon embodies the African American culture in every way:

Non accountability
Entitlement
Blames everyone else.

Just sad homie.. Not even funny

[Curt Henning]

bob is the worst

[LCRUMMY36]

Al Haymon can have all the talent he wants but when he isn't lining up the best fights with all the talent he has then it don't really mean shet!
That's real!

Spence, Porter, Thurman, and both Garcias can circle the wagon 3 time over and still get more play then Crawford...

So why should Haymon run to T.R when he don't have to?
