    Looks like its just a cash grab but good luck to him more free boxing is always good.

    If he put some good free to air fights on people will warm to him and he could generate some big numbers, weak match ups on ITV box office will fail.

    De Gale marketability in the UK was wrecked by poor management by Haymon incompetence which is a shame really.

    Joe joyce could generate some interest on free to air but since moving to Haymon he's matched him very badly basically looks to repeat Wilder again. Looks like Haymon is leeching Joyce shame really.
    This ^ is that dumb shet. Leave the King of the Boxing Underworld alone. That man made the sport better.

            I guess they are evenly matched since DeGale is shot and Eubank was never all that great to begin with, just curious where the winner goes from there. Another no-hoper to feed up to Canelo? A GGG fight at 168?

              i believe haymon is doing this to eat into hearns business being hearn is over here tryna eat into haymons business. hearn and haymon are at ends, haymon refuses to even talk over the phone to hearn.

              i strongly believe haymon is now trying to end hearn for good.

              Lets see if im right in a couple years.

                No, I highly doubt that is the case. This "UK invasion" is grossly exaggerated. I doubt this will amount to much just Haymon getting his US cards picked up by ITV and putting on occasional shows with his UK fighters. If he wants to end Hearn, he would need Joshua and that's not happening. And Hearn has pretty much all the good UK prospects who have a chance to become stars.

                Haymon's first and really only main priority is what he does with the PBC in the states.

                  Absolutely right. The PBC has a number of WW's in the US but they're almost always fighting easy showcase matchups. Al's top WW can't get any of his other PBC belt holders to fight him. It's a mess.

                    As long as good fights get made and I get to see them I don't care who makes them or where they happen.

                      Nah, his WWs do match up that's not the problem. DSG vs Thurman, DSG vs Porter, Porter vs Thurman and we will soon get Spence vs M.Garcia. The thing is due to injuries or other reasons, Spence has had the hardest time getting match up with others. But seems like Porter is willing to fight him now so after Garcia, that fight should happen.
