Comments Thread For: Whyte Calls Joshua a Liar: I Never Got Any Offer For June Date!

That was HBO, not DAZN and Eddie Hearn.

Well now you have Andy Ruiz, PBC fighter, fighting an Eddie Hearn Champion, and it's on DAZN! No mando, no purse bid, no problems!

I doubt even Haymon could block Ruiz, if he could he would have. Firstly Ruiz just signed for them, then he doesn’t mean much to them at the moment and finally Ruiz was very vocal about the fight once Miller failed his test, the whole world would be in doubt that it’s Haymon that’s blocking that one too.

Whyte would be the slightly less annoying champion then the Wilders or Furys of the boxing world. Please AJ don't ever let these side show circus acts ever become unified champions. Seems like the ones who lose the worst talk the most or is it just me ?

Whyte tells it the way it is .......as always, like him or not.

Daniel Jacobs Clarifies Role of Al Haymon in Eddie Hearn Union

Daniel Jacobs Clarifies Role of Al Haymon in Eddie Hearn Union

By Radio Rahim

This past Saturday night, former middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs (32-2, 29 KOs) officially revealed that he signed a multi-fight promotional agreement with UK-based promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sport.

Jacobs also signed a multi-fight agreement with HBO.

When all of the news was revealed, there was a lot of confusion over the relationship between Jacobs and his longtime adviser, Al Haymon.

Most Haymon fighters are not contractually tied to any promoter in particular. That was one of the big issues when an army of his fighters were competing under the promotional banner of Golden Boy Promotions - nearly all of Haymon advised fighters were basically working with Golden Boy without a promotional agreement - including Jacobs. That Haymon, Golden Boy relationship officially fell apart in early 2015.

Haymon would usually hook up with his promotional partners to stage events under the Premier Boxing Champions banner.

And the majority of Haymon's business is conducted with HBO's main network rival, Showtime.

Jacobs becomes the first high profile Haymon advised fighter to sign a promotional deal and also a deal with Showtime's competitor.

This move could obviously lead to more Haymon advised fighters making similar moves. On Sunday, former champion Carl Frampton - who is advised by Haymon - announced that he signed a promotional deal with Frank Warren.

Jacobs indicates that nothing has changed between him and Haymon. He says the powerful adviser is here to stay and won't be on the outside looking in.

"Promotion-wise, we got one of the best promoters in the game, Eddie Hearn. I love the guy, he's tremendous at what he does. And I look forward to getting pushed. We still have Al on board. Al will always be my adviser. He was my adviser since the beginning of my career and when I hang my gloves up he'll be my adviser then as well. I have a full fledged circle and it's working in my favor," Jacobs told BoxingScene.com.

Precisely the interview article I was thinking of!

Why would they have offered Whyte a fight?

He said he wanted longer than 10 weeks or whatever to prepare for the fight when he was offered it for April, he's literally on video saying they were purposely not giving him preparation time, so why would they make an offer knowing it was 6 weeks notice?

Jacobs isn't with PBC any more. Go to their website and see if he can still find him in the fighters roster. He isn't there any more.

He might possibly rejoin PBC when his Matchroom contract contact ends, but he isn't with them now.

I get what you're trying to say. I'm just noting that the relationship is fighter to promoter and then promoter to PBC. There is no PBC contract that a fighter signs (that we know of). So to say he left doesn't directly correlate to how PBC works. Everything is seemingly on a per fight basis. What they sign on for is advisement from Haymon.

So you already got knocked out by Joshua and now you feel like your entitled to a rematch.

Lmao pathetic excuses. I forgot it was Haymon who ran away from Ortiz-Whyte and Fury- Wilder II.
Ruiz has nothing but praise for Haymon who brought him out of that “slave contract” that Arum uses on all his fighters. He specifically said he signed a 4 fight deal with Haymon and that he was so blessed to be out of that TopRank contract.
