    Considering CBS has not even hired a new CEO yet, I highly doubt they are in the midst of canceling any contracts.

            How people can blatantly publish made up stuff is incredible!

            All the lawsuits against Waddle & Reed have been dismissed

            CBS does not even have a new CEO yet.

            The fund was less than 1% of Waddle and Reeds total holdings.

            You can not force a sale on that. It’s not even legal to. Only court can force a business sale in a fraud case.

              This isn't about seeing Haymon fail, bc believe you me, he has succeeded in making himself rich and maybe his plan was always to sell and retire. Not everyone wants to manage forever and deal with those stresses. This is merely for the sake of bridging the divide in boxing that Haymon thus far hasn't helped bridge.
              No it wouldn't be cool if espn or dazn bought "them" cuz espn & dazn don't want to make the real fights. So far the only real fight dazn has made was Nelo/Jacobs. What real fight has espn done since top rank? PBC is Premier Boxing Champions, now you know.

                Hopefully Showtime does leave boxing. Their boxing programming this year has been terrible. Only one good fight this year (Lara vs Castano). The rest have been mismatches or snoozers. Their 2 upcoming fights are Davis vs Nunez and Charlo vs Adams, that says it all really.

                  Its easy MOST on here are fanboys of certain fighters and NOT fans of boxing.Thats why I cant stand them because NO FIGHTER comes before the sport to me.To give an example I was a big fan of B-HOP im talking about the 160pd version who scored a lot of KOs(although I also liked the older version also) but when he fought Tayler I rooted for Tayler.The reason was that most of us thought at time B-HOP was getting ready to retire and wanted to see the undisputed title stay intact.Now had B-HOP won and retired it would have split up title and that's not good for boxing.If Tayler won he COULD have become new star and belts would have stayed together.Now we all know B-HOP never retired and Tayler never became that star, but at time it was what was best FOR BOXING.Same with this AJ v Wilder deal ALL these guys rooting for EITHER to lose are idiot fanboys of one or the other(AJ fans MUCH worse).Boxing NEEDS this fight and I for one will be rooting for a trilogy that means I will be rooting for WHO EVER LOSES the 1st one.

                    You are right. Many just want to see a successful Black man fail that's all.
