Man this dude was offered Fury,Ortiz, Breazeale and Joshua and didn't take any of the fight. Why is anyone caring about what he says.Comment

Perfect timing Whyte - you've been beaten once already and no one was interested in seeing you get busted up again.
Why didn't you publish a presser earlier? Now it's too late and you look like a fool.Comment

Boston of cities.
Nothing wrong with them.
Ample fans. Local pride. Just third tier options.Comment

However he fought GGG on HBO, when he was a PBC fighter.
February 10, 2016:
An odd trend has developed in fighters advised by Al Haymon suddenly appearing in major HBO events. The high-powered adviser was functionally blacklisted in 2013 by the network’s old guard, preferring to not commit full-time license fees to what was becoming a part-time relationship.
The first effort in breaking that cycle came in early February, when World middleweight champion Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez announced he will be facing Amir Khan on May 5, airing live on HBO Pay-Per-View from Las Vegas. Khan is advised by Haymon but was free and clear to negotiate a fight with Alvarez, whose promoter Golden Boy Promotions has a pending $300 antitrust lawsuit filed against Haymon, its former business partner.
One week later, Gennady Golovkin and his team have formally announced an April 23 showdown versus another Haymon-advised boxer in unbeaten contender Dominic Wade. Their bout will air live on HBO’s flagship station, live from The Forum in Inglewood, California...
“There was no hesitation at all in working out a deal with Dominic Wade and his team” Tom Loeffler, managing director of K2 Promotions told BoxingScene.com. “We reached out to his promoter, Tom Brown (TGB Promotions), whom I’ve known for more than 20 years. We were able to agree on all terms in about a week...”
“I have nothing to do with whom the networks choose to work with, as (K2 Promotions) is open to do business with all promoters and managers,” Loeffler insists. “I’ve never had any issues whatsoever with Al, and there certainly weren’t any road blocks in making this fight. I dealt with Tom Brown directly, who worked with Al in making the fight happen.
“There wasn’t any hesitation on their side. They understand the opportunity. It means fighting for the middleweight title, against the best middleweight in the world. They were on board every step of the way. We made a few concessions to make the fight happen, they agreed to our terms and shortly thereafter contracts were signed, allowing us to announce the fight.”
Golovkin vs. Jacobs: Loeffler Updates on Negotiations, WBA Order
November 30, 2016:
So is Loeffler optimistic that a deal can be consummated?
"I think so, I really do,'' he said, while at the Palm Restaurant in Los Angeles, where a media gathering was held of WBO cruiserweight titlist, Oleksander Usyk.
"I mean every conversation I've had with Al Haymon it's always been positive, there's never been, 'Well, lets take a fight here in-between' and the WBA has been very firm that they want [that fight] and Gennady could've petitioned to fight somebody else in December but he wanted to go straight into the Jacobs fight"

So we're supposed to forget all the times he worked with other promoters, and allowed other fighters to fight on rival networks? Should we ignore the fact that he did NOT block Jarrell Miller (Tevin Farmer, and Michael Hunter too) from signing with MatchRoom? Then when Miller pops, who saves Hearn's show in NYC? Ruiz, a PBC fighter! Can he get some props for that?Comment
