Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: I'd Take Lemieux Over Ten Haymon Guys

[Scipio2009]

It's tough to compete with an agent who promises safe fights and good money. Everyone wants safe fights and good money. Hoya is in a losing battle until Haymon disappears from the scene.

How was Stiverne-Wilder a safe fight? How are Thurman-Guerrero and Garcia-Peterson safe fights? Heck, Andrade-Charlo has been a fight that has been actively chased for a while now, and that's not a safe fight either. lol

If that's true why does pacquiao, cotto,Marquez, Tim Bradley, salido, Mikey Garcia,Terance crawford, donaire, Nicholas Walters, and the while slew of other top fighters continue to stick with top rank? The only ones who leave are the ones who want easy fights like Chavez Jr. Who went to haymon because he was scared to fight ggg for ten million and bob arum basically called him a bish for not fighting him and so did Chavez Sr. Lol

Donaire tried to leave but arbitration ruled him back to Top Rank. Manny tried to leave the same happened. Mikey Garcia wants to leave. Cotto left Oscar left Floyd left Marquez. Bradley was smart for staying with Top Rank he's a big fish in a small pond instead of just being another guy if he crossed the street.

Chavez Jr. Left arum because he was trying to make him fight ggg, but he was going to pay him 10 million to do so. Chavez wants the easy fights so of course he runs to haymon. Mikey Garcia recently said he was happy with the way top rank has handled his career and hr wouldn't think of signing with anyone else even though they have a dispute right now.

lol Chavez Jr left Arum because he was trying to make him fight GGG and only was going to pay him $3m. I know it's your m.o. to try and spin things, but really?

Chavez Jr signs with Haymon and the first, and only so far, fight being discussed for him is a Chavez Jr vs Carl Froch fight in Vegas, an 'easy fight' if you're the kind of person that enjoys the Pain Olympics.

win or lose, Chavez Jr wants to be in a position where he can control his own destiny, rather than having his destiny dictated to him by an octogenarian.

Lol and hten Donaire re-signed with Arum.

Pac did the same...

Cotto contnues to work with Arum. Marquez continues to be willing to work with Arum.

Arum has put on some of the greatest fights boxing has ever sene. He's been involved in the sport like half a century.

Arum doesn't make guys sign contracts saying "he must approve of any managerial agreements" they enter ito. Haymon has control over what promoter guys can sign with.

There's no comparing Haymon to Arum.

Did this guy seriously say that he'd take the canadian guy over Al Haymon fighters because HE thinks Lemiux is cute? YOOOOOOO i can't lmfaooo

DLH made a lot of money by being better looking than his opponents, he understands what it can do

Marquez is signed to Zanfer but Top Rank rights to his fights since he got the Manny rematches. Cotto is free to do what he wants he can fight Floyd and not need Arum or he can use them for another fight. Arum made great fights in the 80s that was 30 years ago.

De La Hoya had HOF talent Lemiux isn't close to that.

I wasn't comparing their resumes, just saying DLH knows good looks=$$$.

[emre belozoglu]

i think a small pool of fighters that he cares about suits oscar better

[Monaco Slim]

The only talented guys that Haymon has is Khan and Floyd, and both of those guys are their on boss and decide who they fight, Haymon just does the paper work.
