I dont really care where he fights! I dont think andy lee is with haymon also didnt he retire or something a while back?
If Linares doesn't fight Mikey Garcia, he gets stripped of the belt and he's left hand that "Turbo" Terry and Frank Warren don't just decide to take up Mikey Garcia on a fight (BoxNation/Showtime International with an evening re-air in front of a live event).
I'm just not seeing what the win is here for Haymon/PBC.

Still, maybe it is some kind of gesture; I don't get it though

Originally posted by Thetruthiserrol View PostArum's TV deal with ESPN is already more successful than PBC. Haymon had the chance to bring back boxing to the masses via free TV but failed miserably through crappy match ups, multiple network deals (should've done one, like UFC and Arum) and inactive fighters.

Originally posted by Steven Mccowan View PostGood deal. Im happy with anybody that puts on boxing events. Hopefully he pulls it of on espn. I believe the problem pbc has (other than a lot of bs fights with ppl i didnt want) is it should have had a few big cards on regular fox and the rest on espn. Instead of putting cards on 15 diferent channels. And maybe used same broadcasters we could get used to. And not that joe rogan wannabe mfr. I do dig bryan kinney a lot and wards trainer and also dig atlas and tessitore. Either way i hope they all come out strong for the selfishness of myself and the sport of boxing

Hopefully he does business with other promotional companies and doesn't shut business down with HBO like how Oscar did with Showtime.
