Haymon getting desperate for dates

[Oh_Snap]

So instead of letting his fighters sit in limbo and wait for dates to open up he's being proactive to insure that his fighters can fight and be seen. Can someone explain how this is a negative?

Its not negative at all, what it means is what though could be very negative.

The problem that he as so many fighters, and only has one network to go to for $ that's the problem. He has almost 60 athletes signed to him, Showtime has a limited budget, and if ratings don't pick up, it could drop.

Buying air time is expensive, and will be extremely hard to recoup the $, if it doesn't workout, than what? Is haymon, or his investors, or promoters really going to keep handing him $ on events that lose $?

he posed as a lawyer, lol, this thread is hilarious, lol, this is some funny ass **** in here, lol, wtf!!!!!!!!!!!, lol, dude tried to be a lawyer, lol, even more classic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you are hilarious, lol, you seem to be angryabout everyone disproving all of your false points, lol, you even resort to profanity, lol, classic!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't mind if u disapprove of my point. If it's wrong then prove it wrong. Calling a post garbage because don't approve of it means nothing to me.

Typical DempseyTrollin. Gets owned in every thread then resorts to that kind of stuff. He went from lawyer in the other thread to god knows what in this thread.

He switches profession by the thread.

Lol this guy. Now show me where was I owned? I'll wait. Truth is I'm always owning u. And whst do u do? Run away like a little *****. Continue being a clown. Stop wasting my time.

This is expected. He's banned at HBO. Fortunately for him, he still got lots of aces to be able to get some profitable business deals with others. He's got plenty of fighters that were built-up during his stint at HBO. Which network would refuse, for example, Broner vs Thurman/Porter/Garcia/Matthysse/etc?

But, but haymon is the most powerful figure in boxing...

Haymon more than ever needs TV dates(outside of SHO) and the word is he is offering to buy his own airtime on networks

LOLOLOLOL

This comes from the least credible boxing blogger in the world. The advisor/manager doesn't secure television dates for his boxer. The promoter does. If anyone is desperate, it is the promoter. This is such bullsh.t that it is barely worth commenting on.

it means nothing to you yet here you are arguing about it.

not to mention your red k.

YOU ARE A GARBAGE POSTER AND THAT POST WAS NOT ONLY INCORRECT BUT A COMPLETE STEAMING PILE OF GARBAGE FLOYD/AL HAYMON NUTHUGGING POST.

While I do think he has dubious intentions, Al didn't become successful sitting around waiting for sheet to happen. This dude is up to something. It going to be an interesting next 12 months.

How is signing 60 fighters a problem? Every one of these guys already had a promoter before he signed them. It is the promoter's job to secure fight dates, not the manager. HBO didn't say they would no longer work with Haymon. They said they would no longer work with GBP. These fighters are in the same position they were in before they signed with Haymon. However, now they have someone working on their behalf.

Out of those 60 plus fighters that he has signed, I haven't heard of one complaining about him or trying to get out of their agreement like they are with their promoters.
