Comments Thread For: Adam Kownacki Draws Interest, Offers From DAZN, ESPN, PBC

[killakali]

None of the the guys you've mentioned outside of Collazo and Khan were PBC fighters. They were never promoted by Al Haymon because Al is not a promoter. He is a career advisor. Many were only advised by him and to this day are still advised by Al Haymon.

lmaaaooooo trying to change what you said son? U said no fighter left pbc for Matchroom or top rank. Now u flip flop. Here’s your quote:

***Moreover, Matchroom Sport has an exclusive contract with SkySports too or haven't you forgotten that fact as well. DAZN is not Al Haymon's competitor; However, Matchroom Sport, Top Rank Boxing and Golden Boy Promotions are and none of those rivals or competitors have stolen any of Haymon's talent from the PBC and never will. ****


That whole paragraph is filled with lies. First off DAZN is haymons comeptitor. Haymon is loyal to showtime and fox. That’s it. That’s why he begged Danny Jacobs to come back and not resign with Matchroom.

That’s why he’a begging wilder after matching top ranks offer to go to espn to not go to DAZN.

Haymon needs these fighters for good ratings at fox and showtime on his pbc promotions.

That’s why Haymon didn’t go to DAZN for wilder or Jacobs. He wanted them to stay with him.

Jacobs manager worked the deal for Jacobs just like wilders manager is negotiating for him.

Haymon is trying to convince them not to leave.

And how ignorant of you to say Jamal Herring, Artur Beterbiev and Eleider Alvarez weren’t ever pbc fighters when everyone knows they were and they fought on pbc shows and had contracts with Haymon lmaaaaoooooo

Hes a manager/advisor, first and foremost; if DAZN or ESPN are going to pay Kownacki $4m a fight, for 4 fights (and Haymon can see that he can get Kownacki $4m over 3 wins, with a Wilder shot after that) giving up freedom will be considered for the right length deal.

It it's close, staying with the home team makes sense, but if someone else has a world's better offer Haymon doesn't kneecap his own guy.

Lmaoooo ignorance is bliss.

Haymon begged Danny Jacobs to come back to pbc (when you said there was no way he would resign with Matchroom) And fought hard to keep wilder from going to espn and Bosnian begging him not to go to DAZN and is countering offering right now on his knees because he knows if wilder goes it likely will cause a ripple effect and Kownacki and Ortiz are likely following him or the door to DAZN.

DAZN doesn’t pay Haymon. Fox and sho do. He has contracts with them and wants good ratings to keep the relationship and maybe get more money out of them.

The last thing haymons wants is for him to leave.

Any moron can read the title of the article saying pbc, espn and DAZN are in the mix. That means they are all competing. If he wanted Kownacki to go to DAZN he would have just called them and started negotiating but it’s not like that.

Remember first and foremost Haymon takes care of fox and showtime. Secondly he’s an adviser and manager looking out for his fighter.

How does any of these moves hurt Al Haymon when he is not even a promoter or owns a platform? The only one who is hurting the most over these deals are probably Showtime and Fox because they are rivals to DAZN. You know that Al has leased talent out to other promoters and platforms in the past before you know?

In addition, as I've stated earlier, The PBC will still be able to fulfill its contractual obligations to both Fox and Showtime. Despite Deontay Wilder's brief departure for a very short amount of period of time; Just two fights to be exact and then he will back on Showtime's Pay Per View Boxing fighting again.

Espn has more than double that to top rank lol. Lol. Keith Idec even posted they jacked up the budget to build up the app.

How about you share a source for that, lol.

Jacobs got the Canelo fight as the first bout of a three-fight deal, with a win getting him two Canelo paydays and his freedom by the end of 2019, lol. And Haymon still gets his piece for working for Jacobs, lol.

Thought you were smarter than that.

Wilder is starting his PPV run early, but Wilder-TBA would've been on PPV from the next fight on.

Adam is Polish with a HUGE Following in New York, I think Adam can headline right now and Sell Out Barclays! I'm sure Networks/APPS do see $$$ in Adam and want to lock him up on their Platform

That’s his biggest thing. The polish community that they have in NY makes him someone that would be chased. Am actually surprised it took this long for him to be mentioned.

[R_Walken]

the platforms are just spending stupid cash at HW right now

Great time to be a top 10 HW , All the platforms are throwing $ their way all above their market value to sign with them

You are correct in a way; it is Showtime and Fox that are hurting because of these deals because it means that they have a smaller roster to put on shows with...

BUT don't forget these are PBC shows organised by Al Haymon and Showtime / Fox have paid a lot of money to Haymon for the privilege of having PBC events on their networks... if Haymon then has less stars to play with then the value of his shows diminish and when it comes to renegotiating a deal with Showtime / Fox for his PBC shows it is Haymon that is going to take a hit because his shows will not be worth as much; subsequently he'll get less money for his PBC.

Checkbhis tweets or his story where he says Haymon matched top ranks 12.5 mil offer. It’s right there.

haymon wasn’t going to put Breazeale on ppv and wasn’t going to pay him 12.5 mil either. That’s why wilder is saying thank you Bob Arum!
