Originally posted by WBC WBA IBF View PostHaymon may not speak to many people, but Dibella, Espinoza, etc do. Hang around backstage at enough PBC shows for enough years and you get a pretty good idea of what the strategy is.
Boxing can never be a major sport again until the biggest fights are on CBS/FOX/etc instead of PPV. The Super Bowl isn't on PPV...

Deontay Wilder, Keith Thurman, Mikey Garcia, Robert Easter, Errol Spence, Jermall Charlo, Jermell Charlo, Badou Jack, Gervonta Davis, Jarrett Hurd, Gary Russell, David Benavidez, Shawn Porter, etc are all way more well known now than they were before PBC launched.
Haymon's not at that point yet where he can drop all the belts are start his own league, but I'd say he's about half way there.

In this case I believe Hearn and Rafael. Hearn is now running the show for both Khan and Jacobs. Even Watson and his boys didn't come out for Jacobs last fight.
Back to Hearn, he is a great PR machine and it works in the UK. But in the states it's not going to fly the same way. If you put on trash or mediocre, you will be called out and the audience won't come to support. You will be having your guys fight in half empty arenas. In the UK a guy like Warrington could fight a complete bum and it will be a sellout.

Originally posted by WBC WBA IBF View Postit's a process. going to take a long time. but if you look at what haymon has done in the PBC era, he's focused on building dozens of stars instead of just one or two. HBO is focused on building PPV attractions, which leaves the rest of the schedule bare. PBC essentially ignores PPV, choosing to spread the wealth instead.

Originally posted by KTFOKING View PostNo, Haymon isn't working with him. Hearn said Haymon isn't involved at all with Jacobs or Khan. Dan Rafael confirmed that.
Here's what Jacobs had to say about his relationship with Al Haymon. I will just assume you pulled that Eddie Hearn quote straight out of your @ss, which is incredibly g@y if you ask me:
