    I'm not surprised. PBC fighters are not free agents like they claim to be.

        Jubei you don't care one bit about the health of the sport. You take issue with Haymon solely because he is black. You never get outraged when another promotional entity makes a move that hurts the sport or cheats fans out of fights.
        Crawford/Spence wasn't even a realistic option when Bob said that. Up until the Mikey fight, Spence hadn't proven he could be a big enough draw. He was getting only 600k viewers on Showtime and mediocre ratings on NBC (aside from the Bundu fight which is an outlier). I wouldn't be too confident there was enough money to go around until I saw the success of Spence-Garcia.

          Ok. that stated it was Arum that initially blocked the fight and Jubei posted nothing about it.

          My issue is he doesn't post anything when Hearn or Arum make a decision that screws fans out of a fight he wants.

              We also never got to see Mikey vs. Linares, Crawford vs. Danny Garcia. Wilder got a bunch of soft touch PBC opponents while Fury, Klitshcko, and Joshua were trying to unify the division. Adonis Stevenson ducked meaningful opponents for many years.

                You can't block a fight that wasn't going to happen. Since Crawford-Spence became financially feasible, PBC's side is the only one refusing to even consider the fight.

                Hearn and Arum can be blamed for many things but creating false equivalences and whataboutisms just seems like attempt to distract from the fact that Haymon is responsible for the majority of significant inter-promotional fights not being made.

                  If anyone is to blame for Loma/Garcia not happening it's Garcia himself for moving up in weight. What does Haymon have to do with it?

                    Good post. Arum was ****ed up when he was doing it and now Haymon is ****ed up for doing the same. None of them are putting a dime in my pocket all I care about is seeing the fights I want so if someone anyone impedes that they have a bullseye on their back for my vitriol.

                      That isn't true. Haymon hasn't made any comments about not making the fight.

                      What facts are you basing this opinion on? Haymon didn't block Canelo /Chavez Jr., Jacobs/GGG, or Brook/Spence. He made Wilder/Fury 1. Haymon was making the rematch when Arum signed Fury and blocked it from happening. He didn't block Wilder/AJ initially.

                      Which fights do you know Haymon blocked alone?
