Comments Thread For: CBS Sports/PBC Deal Revealed: Stevenson-Bika, More

[Vasyl’s dad]

I agree with parts except I truly believe this can blossom and I believe this is a really good idea. Kids these days have been raised on basketball, football, baseball, hockey, etc.. i see this as a chance for this sport to help inspire the young kids to want to become boxers. They are going to see it every day they are going to get to know the sport much more they ate going to see that they make money and they're going to see that people are excited.

I like the move and am all for it.

Except that kids from the Mountain timezone to the Pacific timezone, are playing Little League, Pop Warner, basketball, hockey and soccer at the times boxing will be showing on saturdays. Monday through friday, they are doing homework and getting ready for bed.

Stevenson's Defense Force (SDF), is now faced with another mission impossible.

So being sued means you're bad. Come on Beater.

Yes, Arum is the far more experienced promoter. But Haymon is making promoter's obsolete. Instead of paying Bob 25%, you can pay Al 10% and use social media to promote.

Danny and Broner had good fights last year. What you are doing is frankly, well I wont use the word-but you are criticizing prematurely Al haymon managed fighters for something GGG is doing right now. Cotto isn't fighting GGG or Canelo next, his 2 best opponents. Where is the anger?

You seem very invested in this not working. But yeah, we can look back and see what happened.

Being sued and losing as Haymon did, does mean you're a **** businessmen.

I'd pay Arum 25% if he's giving me 5 million to fight Manny instead of Haymon paying 1.5 million and taking 10% to face Floyd. If Arum offers a much better service compared to Haymon (Money) then I'll gladly pay a higher price. Use some logic man.

Do you need me to find posts where you said 2014 was crap, and now you're saying it was a good year? It wasn't. I'm not criticizing Cotto's next opponent yet because he doesn't have one, everyone else I've b*tched about does. And if it's the opponent that doesn't suck, the circumstances of the fight happening do suck.

What is GGG doing that Haymon is? GGG fought 3 or 4 times last year, and 4 times the year before that. Danny, Broner and the rest of the Haymon crew fight once or maybe twice a year. GGG has skill and is fighting guys ranked top 5 in his division, 3 fights in a row now. When was the last time any Haymon fighter did that? I'll keep grilling you but I'll wait for another lame ass response like "Haymon doesn't charge as much." When you pay cheap prices, you get cheap product.

This is definitely "great" news!

[Beater_of_ass]

WOW! Forget trying to make boxing like UFC he is trying to make it like the NFL lol

Premier Boxing Championships Video Game COMING SOON! Guaranteed! That would be a great way to grab the attention of the younger fans is to make a BAD ASS Video Game with that Roster Haymon has which Includes Mayweather finally on a video game!

Go figure it's the only game he wouldn't be able to face Manny in... Good luck with that. Make a boxing game leaving out JMM, Cotto, Floyd, GGG... What a joke, your created boxer probably wouldn't be able to beat Floyd either or it would just stay stuck on the loading screen.

Bika vs Stevenson is just a horrible fight. Bika coming off a loss and moving up to 175. But it's in line with the type of opponents Stevenson has been facing recently.

The other matchups are actually pretty good.

b-itch,b-itch, b-itch ..christ give it a rest

[bopbopbbe]

It's hilarious how Al Haymon has managed to get everybody's expectations so low that we're supposed to be excited about Stevenson vs Bika and Dirrell vs Badou Jack LOL.

Anything better than Garcia vs Salka is something to get excited for apparently, I gotta give it to Haymon hes a smart guy lmao.

The only interesting fight announced is the Gonzalez vs Russell fight.
