    Did Thurman say, "as long as you have your 'O'"?

    l like one time but l detect some sort of indoctrination there. Hope keith keeps his attitude towards fighting anyone and not let haymon mess up his boxing career.

      Time will tell if this proves to be a wise decision or he looks back and regrets it. I understand his reasoning, it's hard jumping into something unproven in a particular field regardless of how tempting it may be. Keith Thurman is aiming for a Mayweather fight next year, he won't get that with Roc Nation as Haymon would never allow it. I'm almost certain that Haymon guaranteed a crack at Floyd if he turned down the offer. That's the golden carat that Haymon has waved over everybody's head in order to get where he is right now in boxing.

          well if Bundu wins or Keith gets injured or looks less than spectacular winning, this could turn out to be a painfully horrific mistake.

          On the other hand, if Bundy knocks him out cold, and he had taken the deal beforehand, he would still be set for life with that 6 million.

          The only downside of taking the deal is if he would make more money over those next three fights. Which is quite possible. But they could have easily accounted for that, and would likely have been happy to do so, within the text of the deal.

          For example, lets say he knocks Bundu out spectacularly. Then they put him in there with two more well known guys at 40 / 47 and he does the same. Event fights with dramatic KO endings. Then by the the end of 2015 for that third fight he gets in with whatever other fighter is still standing and winning and his popularity is swelling. Well they could look at his numbers and say if he hits XX number in the ratings etc, he gets more for the next fight, or what have you.

          My point being there is no true downside of this deal, because if the guy blows up they could make it so they financially accommodate him accordingly.

          Oh wait, for Haymon there is a downside. Be a good boy Keith and tell the press you didn't want that man's money. Now go back in the doghouse with all the others and wait until I throw you a bone.....

                  Better Long Term Possibilities and More Stability with Haymon

                  Roc Nation throwing around money but have they even Held A Boxing Event Yet? Do they have a Network for their Fights and Events?

                  Haymon fighters seems to be loyal and they clearly believe in Haymon and the Plan that he has for them.
