Comments Thread For: Top Rank, Al Haymon Lawsuit To Proceed: Judge Issues Order

[bigdunny1]

I agree this is just a way for top skank to see how PBC and Haymon operate. And see how long they can hold up.

Bob arum can double dip and have HIS fighters fight each other like OVER and Over but no one else can? When was the last time his best fighters fought anywhere but HBO??? Ad he brings up a pic of a mayweather check with Al's name on it yet just wired manny $2,000,000???

Arum is the promoter he can pay whatever advances or bonus money to his fighters as he wants. That pic you mentioned which is being used against haymon in both lawsuits is because only promoters pay fighter purses. Haymon is legally a Manger and not supposed to be paying purses. And it wasn't Mayweather it was another Haymon fighter. The only check Floyd ever posted had golden boys name on it the promoter of that event.

Top Stank fighting a fight they will not win.

Al Haymon will win this with calculated and smart moves. Top Stank came in with that brawler mentality.

I'm sorry Bob Arum is both a promotor and a manager. He just hides it better! He ruined many boxers careers over them not seeing eye to eye with them. And god forbid you want to get out of a contract wit him??? He tells Manny who to fight and when! Just like everyone else that works for him!

All I heard all year from haymon supporters where these lawsuits meant nothing and both would be tossed out of court immediately. Just like the same fools said last year that said golden boys lawsuit against haymon and Schaefer would go nowhere. Yet golden boy won and forced a settlement from haymon with him reportedly paying Oscar 10s of millions. When haymon got sued over Chavez who arum said owed 1 more fight again haymon supporters said it will get thrown out of court arum wont get a dime. Nope haymon was forced to pay a large settlement to Bob arum to release him before the fonfara fight. And these latest lawsuits aimed at PBC that you guys said would get kicked out have BOTH moved forward in court. People act like haymon wins his lawsuits. No he doesn't if you look back he is almost always forced to pay to make them go away. Hes gonna end up paying millions to these promoters to make them go away as well.

Being forced to open his books and give depositions in both lawsuits is huge. This is a man who lives and operates in secrecy and now everything eventually will be made public. For a guy who refuses media passes for major boxing outlets because they were critical of his role and asked too many questions now will have to answer questions and more in court about how he operates and if any of this is legal. PBC has already been struggling with bad TV ratings, most of the fights are in half empty arenas, and their creditabilty has been under attack. Now 2 mega lawsuits to add to the millions PBC has lost in year 1. I'm sure the investors are thrilled with the dumpster fire haymon has set on their money. LMAO

What Bob arum did to Chavez should be criminal and was border line extortion! Sign an extension or I'll never let you finish the contract... Just look how he did Floyd his last fight wit him??? Bob Arum does not give a sht about ANY of his boxers. And if you beat his bread and butter like Bradley and rig. Did to PAC/donaire he BLASTED them in the media... His own fighters.

Arum ain't no saint and looks out for his own money like nobody else. But he is not both promoter and manager and you need look no further then his biggest fighter Manny. What's best for Arum's company and what he wants most is Manny to fight Crawford. Crawford beating Manny would be a passing of the torch and create Top Ranks next superstar to replace Manny. Yet Manny chose Bradley instead the far easier fight because him and his manager don't feel that's in Manny's best interest. That's a fight where he felt he was being thrown to the lions. The fact Arum has not seen eye to eye with many of his fighters is exactly because those guys have managers saying hey we don't like this fight your promoter wants to make.

Al Haymon supporters??? What is that? Who rots for a promotor??? I root for Canelo, and Diego. Crawford, PAC. Mayweather, leo.

I dont give two shts about who they fight for or what channel. I do love the fact that Haymon is at least putting his fights on regular tv though. And PAYING them. Who doesn't like getting paid??? Something SERIOUSLY wrong with GGG bringing in 10-20 million and only getting $1-2??? We're is the rest of the money going???

Agree with the stuff about Bradley/Rigo, but Chavez was being a punk. If you don't want to honor your end of a deal that you signed, be a man like Floyd and buy your contract out. Chavez didn't have to sit on the sidelines for nearly two years, he chose to ...

[Shadoww702]

I thought the same thing at 1st when Bradley was picked??? But they both didn't really want the Crawford fight??? If Crawford beat PAC there would be zero chance of a rematch with Floyd. They made too much money not to have a rematch. Even a rematch would still get 1.5k+ buys IMO? Bradley is a very safe pick. He ain't gonna ko PAC. Crawford could of probably KOd PAC or at least made him look real bad.

Garcia has one fight left and offered to fight Crawford if they let him out and they said no. He must sign extension or sit.
