Comments Thread For: Spence's Trainer: Haymon Made Arum, Matchroom Pay Fighters What They're Worth

[El_Mero]

It's too bad Spence didnt get bigger balls with that money.

Why would anyone with a brain be made at fighters making more money?
They can actually die doing their jobs, kind of makes sense for them to make as much as they can. If they die or become hospitalized it is up to their families to take care of them.

Haymon did change the game. Look what fighters were making before on average, and then look at what they get now.

Floyd was HOF years before the Oscar fight. Years before Haymon.

No one gives a sh@t about the bogus HOF in boxing. It’s probably the easiest HOF in sports to get into. Just about any fighter with a decent to good career gets in.

But Haymon’s overall purpose was to help Floyd generate as much money as possible in boxing while personally earning as much money as possible during his career. Mission accomplished. And Floyd doesn’t really give a sh@t about the HOF either, everyone knows that. Every time someone asks him, he talks about the money he earned.

Before the Oscar fight. Floyd was 36-0, with wins over Genaro Hernandez for the super featherweight title, Castillo for the lightweight title, Gatti for the super lightweight title, and Judah for the welterweight title. 4 weight division champion at 30 years old with title defenses against the likes of Corrales, Castillo, Corley, Mitchell, & Manfredy. Yeah, I would say that’s HOF worthy by the weak ass boxing HOF standards.

But if you ask real boxing fans. Floyd didn’t really solidify his HOF bid until after he defeated Oscar and went on to beat the likes of Hatton, Cotto, Mosley, Saul Alvarez, Guerrero, Maidana, & Marquez.

I watch boxing as a sport. I don't care to watch boxers withdraw money from an ATM. Their bank accounts don't concern me.

So why did you respond to a thread which talks about boxer’s money? This is prize fighting meaning the boxers get paid to fight. Money talks.

Both Arum and Hearn pay fighters far more then Haymon.

Al Haymon cancelled HBO Boxing for good! That was the game-changer! I think his model may be in trouble because I see more of his top fighters headlining ESPN and DAZN cards, than I see their top fighters headlining PBC shows. I think Al Haymon needs to sign Jaron "Boots" Ennis, Brandun Lee, and Lorenzo "Truck" Simpson ASAP! He should push Stanionis, Colbert, Ajagba, and Ergashev! Time for more fresh blood at PBC! Subriel Matias: GET YOUR **** TOGETHER! VAMANOS!

Real boxing fans know Floyd sealed his HOF credentials under 140

Thread is about the way Haymon operates. Pays fighters top dollar while avoiding top threats

I know right... trying to make it look like Haymon is the one responsible for these fighters earning bigger pay packet. He wasn’t the one who paid Charles Martin or Andy Ruiz those big packet, Kownacki just earned 100k against Helenius who earned 30k. Those were fights on PBC watch..

Competition is good though because it meant paying boxers good paydays. Unless you are made to turn down those offers..

of course he was the one responsible for martin and ruiz being paid those amounts. he negotiated it.

PBC stands for "Protected-Boys-Club" !!

Can't knock it. It is his job to look out for their best interests. To our detriment though.
