Comments Thread For: Arum: Haymon Only Promoter Who Won't Work With Others

[Ake-Dawg]

Actually Danny never turned down the fight. How can he turn down the fight when he had already been signed to fight Granados. It was PR move by Arum and TR, they knew very well that that fight was already signed and they were waiting to announce it along with all the other PBC fights on Fox. Keep in mind that they contacted Danny's dad 2 weeks before the announcement, do you really believe Danny didn't have that fight signed already at that time. LIke I said it was a PR move by Arum to make it seem like PBC guys are turning him down. Keep in mind, why didn't they offer the fight to Spence then? Why wouldn't Arum try to make Loma/MIkey after the LInares fight, but instead kept saying before that fight that Loma would fight the winner of Beltran/Pedraza.

I think that constitutes a reasonable turn down in Danny's case. They could have paid Granados step aside money. I do think that two weeks isn't enough time to make such a decision that would have a long term impact on Danny's career.

Haymon got some quality fighters too

Loma wanted to take the fight after a tune-up. Dude just had surgery, man...

As for Danny and Crawford, no chance Crawford wouldn't want that fight. Danny is the weakest of the "top" welterweights and a good draw. Crawford easily beats him, also.

Did Wilder, one of PBC biggest stars, fight a Warren fighter just last month in a voluntary fight that was 50/50? I don't see Arum in a rush to put Gilberto's belt on the line with one of PBC's 168lb guys. Or send Shakur over to fight any PBC 126lb guys either.

the only reason Wilder fury happened was cuz Wilder demanded it. Haymon would have been perfectly happy keeping it in house vs Breazeale. Plus for wilder Haymon doesn’t have any big fights. ThAts why they looked to Fury.

Same reason why Arum wants pbc welters. Arum and Haylon have the same business model.

Lol says the man who made Pacquiao fight Marquez four times and Bradley 3 times all Top Rank fighters.

Your a DOPE

Wilder vs. FURY (Fury not with PBC) good fight
Plant vs. Uzicategui (Not with PBC) ok fight, uz was dominated for the most part
Stevenson vs. Gvozdyk (Gvozdyk not PBC) ok fight, adonis was dominated
Garcia vs. Porter good fight ok fight
Charlo vs. Trout good fight ok fight
Stevenson vs. Jack (Jack not pbc) good fight
Lara vs. Hurd FKN AWESOME fight good fight
Wilder vs. Ortiz (AWESOME round) good fight
Spence vs Peterson GARBAGE fight
Al Haymon advises Eleider and we got Kovalov (Not with PBC) and again

Ok kid, funny how you didnt list any of the garbage fights pbc has shown. To each his own i guess. Id be making the fights fans want, with all the money and fighters pbc has. Youre obviously ok with settling for more filler than substance. And funny how u mentioned alvarez, when he just signed with oldass bob arum...gripping at straws.

How many Top Rank guys cross the aisle and fight on other platforms? How many PPV fights with other promoters has Bob made. He makes one with Hearn who is desperate to get his fighter in the ring and get a marquee fighter on DAZN and goes straight to talking s hit.

For the record, Danny turning the fight down in my view had everything to do with Danny not wanting to risk an L to Crawford right now and was not a PBC ESPN thing. Both Porter and Spence have spoken as if the go ahead is there to fight Crawford.

Whether Arum is blowing alot of gut wind or not at least he's aknowledging what should be done and seems the general consensus among promoters agree. If anything we're going in the right direction. The foundation is set and money always smooths out the uneaven road.

Let me guess Arum, all those promoters who you are working with, must have their fighters fight your guys on ESPN. Would Khan/Crawford get made if it was going to take place on DAZN for more money? We already know that HBO and GB were willing to pay more to have Loma/Linares on HBO and you said no, which made Linares and GB accept your terms since Linares isn't a big draw.

It does seem really hard to get a fight with an Al Haymon fighter unless the promoter for both fighters is Al Haymon. He does seem to be one of the biggest culprits in the strangulation of Boxing in America.

When was the last time Arum made a 50/50 fight with another promoter without a purse bida la Wilder/Fury? Was it May/Pac?

[15 round fight]

Haymon is the smartest man in boxing. He's the manager/advisor for damn near 80% of the best fighters including Arums old whipping boy Pac, who just signed with Haymon. This must give Arum the blues daily!

[bigjavi973]

well technically al haymon isnt a promoter so.....

[15 round fight]

Harmon is NOT a promoter but controls the business model as if he were. Everything goes through him or deals don't get made!!
