A reason that can be confirmed (his uncle did die) you'd rather believe the people who was colluding with th boxing media to write negative stories about Haymon while they called him ****** in emails.

    You're gullible. A rube.
    u still aren’t saying. Where did I get my info?

    So how long was Quillin out for because his uncle died? That’s the only reason he was put that long lol. You’re gullible. A rube. And biased for the pbc.

      I've always taken his response to why that fight didn't happen as he had too much sh^t going on & I've heard him on podcasts saying his marriage was at stake at that point in his life & he cared more for his wife than his boxing career which seemed like the primary conflict he had at that time. The main point is HE made the decision to not fight not Haymon or anyone else is whats been the bottom line with that move since Quillin has talked about that period of his life which he didn't for awhile cuz it was obviously a period of personal turmoil which I'm sure he'd rather have kept quit on indefinitely but since it was a oddly timed move I'm sure he felt compelled to speak on the situation eventually with so many asking him about it.
      Quillin was ok with fighting Korobov until Roc Nation, which is owned by Haymon's enemy Jay Zee, came in with an unexpected bid and won the fight.

      Haymon either paid or persuaded him to vacate, maybe both. Quillin more or less said so himself in his first statement on it.


      “But my fans will just have to just wait and see why I did what I did and I know that’s not going to happen in just one moment. It will progress over time and by then, hopefully they will see. Once they see it happen the way that it’s supposed to happen, then I’ll say, ‘I told you so.'”


      Quillin also defended his manager, Al Haymon, in the wake of a decision that prevents the boxer from fighting under the banner of Roc Nation, which is owned by Shawn Carter AKA Jay-Z.

      Jay-Z is married to music diva Beyonce, who was once promoted by Haymon and has been in involved in legal battles with the man who may be the most powerful figure in boxing.


      Al Haymon is one of the smartest men in boxing. I know that when a person builds up a fan base like I have, you have a certain responsibility to get out a message to your fans. But I also have to be a businessman. I was really excited about the Korobov fight and in my opinion, I can beat that man. But the guy that’s behind the scenes is going to advise what’s best for me,

        It’s easy to understand Quillin’s jubilation when you realize the heartache he and Allison had to endure prior to Joaquin’s arrival: In October 2013, while Quillin was preparing for a fight against Gabriel Rosado, Allison suffered a miscarriage. With a heavy heart, Quillin went ahead with the fight, defeating Rosado by 10th-round technical knockout.

        “Losing the baby was the most difficult struggle to experience in our life,” says Quillin, a Chicago native who now lives in Brooklyn. “But it makes me appreciate my wife and my son even more. It’s why I train better, smarter and harder.”

        Brown noticed a difference in Quillin’s demeanor following his split draw with world champion Andy Lee in April at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

        “Instead of crying and pissing and moaning about it, he chose to move on, refocus and do better the next time,” Brown says. “There were previous points in [his] life where he might have been more angry and upset. Now, he has it in perspective.”

        Joaquin was born less than a week after Quillin learned he had landed the biggest payday of his career: a fight against Matt Korobov slated for November 8. But rather than make the fifth defense of the title he won by unanimous decision over Hassan N’Dam in October 2012, Quillin pulled out of the fight, leaving the hefty paycheck on the table so he could spend more time with Allison and his baby.

        “Paydays will come and go, but family is priceless,” Brown says. “Watching your wife give birth to your son is a once-in-a-lifetime gift that you’ll never get back. You cherish that experience for the rest of your life.”
