SHO Executive Stephen Espinoza Interview with Kurt Emhoff

[MasterPlan]

Yea lol I heard that. That was a interesting interview & specifically the Haymon part was interesting.

I thought it was interesting when he was telling Sergio about meeting him. How Haymon was. Thats definitely an interview worth checking out for anyone who missed it. Mannix is one of the best boxing interviewers out there.



No there is one for sure. I've read it & I'm almost positive I posted the Charlie Murphy pic from that interview from this site.

I was trying to find it w/o success a lil bit ago (although admittedly wasn't looking to hard). I think it might be Ebony not Jet doe as I originally said cuz I did find a mention of the article in another Haymon article. Supposedly from 1994 which is a couple years before he got into boxing with Vernon Forrest.

Ebony and Jet are damn near the same thing, lol. I'm pretty sure he's around in some of those other bkack magazines from back in the day like Right On or Rock & Soul.

Sergio Mora during his interview with Mannix said he didn't even know how Haymon before they first met and assumed he was ***ish lmao.

I'd also like to see an interview of his if it is out there. But highly doubtful there is one.

I made a thread a long time ago where I showed a lawsuit between black concert promoters in the 80s and wme agency. Haymon wasnt involved but his name was dropped a good number of times as well as business practices/strategy.

Hmmm guess its not much of an interview. Just a couple quotes. That Ebony Men magazine interview from 1994 I guess I've never seen cuz this is a Jet article about the Eddie Murphy tour.

But this is it, from '92, cuz that Charlie Murphy pic is there lol. While this isn't a interview there is some interesting lil Haymon tidbits, but not much. I remember at the time of finding this it was amazing doe lol. Researching Haymon is like researching bigfoot.

And randomly while looking for that I found his thesis from college.

"The market structure of the concert production industry in Boston with emphasis on barriers to entry

Author: Alan Haymon
Dissertation: A.B., Honors Harvard University 1977"

This like blurb is interesting just due to the guys he's been blurb'd about with. Berry Gordy. Russell Simmons. Q. Michael Jackson. Don Cornelius.

I was watching an old soul train episode and I kid you not Don mentioned Al Haymon as one of the performers promoter or manager can't remember. This was an 80s episode.

So sounds like the fox fights will be used to set up the big fights on showtime.
Hurd-Charlo
Santa Cruz-Russell
Thurman-Porter 2

FOX will get one of them, but Espinoza is confident they get their fair share of big fights, starting with the Charlo/Hurd unification fight.

Davis-Mares is a big fight (right)?
I think that will be the week before the Pac-Broner PPV as a lead in.

Same as Porter-Ugas as the lead in to Spencd-Garcia the week before.

As I posted weeks ago...Fox Will Be Used For Exposure For These Fighters Before Big Fights Over On Showtime and/or Showtime PPV. Same format that UFC used while they was with Fox basically I think it is great for both Fox and Showtime actually.

Great Interview! Props to Kurt Emhoff, always have very informative interviews the ones with Tim Carter and Lou Dibella and Kathy Duva was good stuff as well

I asked Showtime head Stephen Espinoza here at the #PacquiaoBroner presser about sharing talent pool with Fox and he said “the weight of that responsibility falls with PBC” and analogized them to the NFL. “It doesn’t serve the NFL well if they put all their good games on CBS.”

Espinoza brought up Dmitry Bivol as a soon to be free agent they are looking into. Believes Sho has the best opponents — thus, future— for Bivol in Adonis Stevenson, Badou Jack, Marcus Browne, and Eleider Alvarez—says Alvarez will definitely be with Sho after the Kovalev fight.

Interesting, obviously would make sense if Alvarez returns to SHO. They would pretty much have majority of the top LHWs. But things can change if Gvozdyk beats TR. That will create a complete sh^t storm with one belt on SHO, another on ESPN and another on DAZN.

If Stevenson beats Gvozdyk, then SHO could have the WBC/WBO along with Jack. It would be in Bivol's best interest to sign with SHO/PBC.
