[hhs661]

cant believe you al haymon stans are co signing this obvious duck move !!!!!!! first of all turning down guaranteed money in this buisness is ****** as it is , but turning down multi mil advace money is even ******er !!!!!!! i guaranttee before the end of next year thurman will regret this !!!!!!! matter of fact not only will thurman regret it , so will wilder and quilllan !!!!!!!! rocnation has proved themselve in every industry they have entered !!!!!! they are not like 50 cent in the slightest bit of the imagination !!!!!! just ask .......

durant basketball

cano - football

and that guy in baseball who made 200 mill

Robinson Cano is their baseball guy. You see these contracts that Cano got, that Durant and dez will get and ask yourself why am I only getting 6 mil for? Cano probably makes that in a quarter of a season

It's funny how Haymon is always referred to as an "advisor", yet he seems to have complete control over fighters' decisions. I don't know if Thurman's decision to turn down RN was the best, only time will tell. He was offered $6 million for a 3 fight deal, but believes he can make that and maybe more next year. If that's the case, then Haymon will have to make some big changes to the BS career model he has demonstrated so far. It seems like all of the big money is going to Mayweather (and Haymon), while stand out up-and-comers settle for crumbs and few fights. In any event, it's a shame that a fighter's future depends on whether his "advisor" has beef with any prospective business partners knocking on his door.

Haymon does apparently have complete control over in effect every aspect of his fighters' professional careers, at least according to the contracts that have become public through the ME vs GBP/Haymon litigation.

But, yeah. This ^^.

You seem to get a number of guys signing with Haymon, giving one interview in which they babble about being crossover stars and movie deals and how the big fights are just around the corner, and then they suddenly clam up and pretty much only speak to thank Al Haymon or in obviously scripted soundbites while fighting nobodies once or twice a year.

Shit's all a bit Stepford for my liking.

Maybe it's just part of Uncle Als masterplan, but so far I'm failing to see any Haymon signing of the last coupla years whose career has suddenly taken off under Al, in fact, quite the opposite in several cases. I'm kinda willing to suspend judgement until we find out quite what's gonna happen with Haymons likely broadcast / promotion set-up which looks likely to be unveiled early next year, but TBH 2014s controversies haven't really filled me with confidence..

I think he thought that the Garcia Matty winner would steamroll the comp into super stardom. It would have been true had Garcia handled his papi Herrera. He can't protect his prospects so blatantly.

your so stuck on that Haymon has last say that you arent even considereing that maybe he wasnt even needed cause Thurman himself didnt like the deal. Al is irrelevant in this. Thurman made the choice but to you this is a lie. Youkids just see the surface and think thats all there is.

And yes roc nation has big athelets signed but this isnt badeball or football. In boxing roc nation has no one and nothing

yea you can't compare boxing to other sports. too much politics in boxing.

Roc Nation needs to stop testing Haymon's pimp grip he's got his on lock.
