Comments Thread For: Top Rank Sues Al Haymon For Over $100 Million

[hitking]

LOL Haymon is worth much more than that. 15 million is just a guess on their part. With the money he moves, controls and has a piece of with investment companies, he probably makes that much every month.

Either way, Arum isn't exactly broke. And he's in a position to financially compete with anyone. So instead of robbing fighters being his motivation, break bread.

These will all go to arbitration why because; its no law in America where you have to work with someone else. Which is the basis on these lawsuits he hurting my comoany by not working with me.

You probably mean "mediation," not arbitration.

I hope Haymon loses and goes out of business
He is a very shady character

As the REAL Pugilist, I hope he wins because no one is more shady than Arum and Oscar is a cross-dressing nut.

Looks like Bob is scared. I can understand why-his way of doing things is being threatened. He is losing top clients that see how much money they could be making.

Will be interesting to see what happens. Much like the GBP lawsuit it seems like sour g****s.

I doubt it goes anywhere but I don't know any real facts as of now.

Al Haymon can literally shut this down in court. All he has to say to the judge, is that Top rank & any other promoter joined in the lawsuit can easily pick up a phone, give him a call & get their fighters on his PBC show. That's just one example imo.

i'd love to see him try and explain his Ali Act violations with a phone call......lol

I doubt he even gets good reception with that old ass flip phone lol

[MagikLair]

Well

I want to see the best fights. If Al forbids his fighters from fighting other promoted fighters. Then it seems we as boxing fans lose out on some great fights.

Julio, how do you feel about Top Rank using a picture of your paycheck on Instagram in the lawsuit against Haymon:

Hey Bob, how do I feel about losing Chavez Jr to Haymon, and having him post his paycheck to social media:

I hadn't seen that first picture, I absolutely lost it when I read it. It literally says purse and Haymons company on the check... BWAHAHA!!!! I like PBC, it's boxing on free TV I don't want that to go away but this is just hilarious lmao.

Wasnt it Bob who refused to do business with Haymon in the 1st place? even then...MayPac? Bob cant say that Haymons never done business with him..its nice seeing Bob in this position, look what hes suing for, you can turn it right around on his crooked @$$. He owns the WBO..thats not illegal? Hes guilty of all the things hes suing Haymon for. As a fan of the sport, i cant side with anything Bob represents and i hope he gets counter sued.

Maybe you dont understand the implications here? If the suit is correct, Haymon is driving out all competitors by overpaying everybody. This will in time put other promotors out of business and suddenly Haymon has a monopoly. In a monopoly its the monopolist who sets the prices.

Is that a good thing?

"Overpaying"??? How are they overpaying what are basically independent contractors?

If a monopoly is created because TR/HBO do not want to pay people as much as another company, that is just too bad.

Why can't they just pay more?
