[skinnystev]

a-rum sues al hymie now thats a good one

[wlliam]

Bob lost his choke hold on HBO so he has to resort to this. Hopefully this court battle takes its toll nd he ultimately croaks. Realistically he out-lives me and im 28

They made 600 million together with the biggest sporting event in US history; but he has cost you 100 million dollars in damage. People need to use common sense.

Well then common sense would dictate that working with Haymon isn't illegal. What is illegal is for a manager to pay a purse. What is illegal is locking up venue dates only to cancel.

The US can sue China while still conducting business with them, it's no different here. If my dealer shorted me a gram, I'd call him out on it... He'd say my bad and we'd be going back to doing business. It's not Al's job to make it easy for people to be in business, it is Bob's and everyone else's in the world to make sure they aren't getting ripped off. That's simply the case here and Al is pretty much ****ed regardless.

He's been sued by Rihanna and Jay-Z and... lost. This is nothing new to see here, he's always been shady. When he came on to the scene people were calling him shady and now he's being sued for $400 million which is about $100 million more than what his trust fund had to start with.

When you can't kill what you eat, you have to steal what you eat. I'd like to see them try to prove these allegations. Especially the not working with other promoters (which is very ironic coming from Bob Arum and TR).

Quillin just KO'd this lawsuit thing. Haymon keeps rolling.

"If anything was to happen to Al Haymon, I would retire from the sport of boxing."

The cult of Haymon is strong in this one.

The nice thing about Stephen Espinoza is that after this is all done, he'll roll over and let Bob scratch his belly.

War Haymon! War boxing!

Burn GBP, TR, and HBO to the ground.

Lol Haymon has these guys shook. I can't wait for this one to go down

im still confused why you would want pbc to fail? seems so strange i hate bob arum but i would never want top rank to fail the more boxing the better

Haymon and friends seem to be making power-moves and its got GBP and TR nervous about their future.

What many here may not get or even consider, is that Haymon & Friends have a team of Lawyers and I'm more than certain that they covered their asses before even making a move with PBC. And now that its moving, its shaking the hold on boxing previously held by GBP and TR.

These Haymon loyalists crack me up lol... Why are Golden Boy and Top Rank nervous? A guy is doing things that are clearly illegal and so because someone is calling him out on it, Golden Boy and Top Rank are scared? Who in the **** is Haymon without Floyd?

He's Broner, LSC and Stevenson. Wow, I'm sure Golden Boy and Top Rank are ****ting bricks right now alright, they have nothing comparable to that star power at all... Arum's been doing this for 50 years and every major player in boxing aside from Vladimir and Canelo (neither PBC/Haymon btw) went through and actually STARTED their careers with Top Rank. Floyd, Manny, Cotto but yeah they should be scared of Haymon who was already sued up the ass in the music business, lost and got kicked out entirely lol.

Meanwhile, Arum has obviously been working on this lawsuit for a while and considering he went to Harvard and actually earned a law degree, I'll put my money on the Bobfather.

"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?

This is not the first time where you haven't got the slighthest idea what you are talking about.
