I can't reply because Chollo Vista put me on ignore, but here are some of the highlights from this thread:

"Haymon has most of the opponents locked up. He'll keep choking HBO slowly until HBO gives up years down the line."
"So the only way to create a $100 million pie like UFC has is to invest the money to prove that boxing can work as a network sport. So far it's pulling in similar numbers to what UFC pulls in. Even if Haymon has to spend $500 million over three years to prove his concept, if he ends up with a $100 million a year TV deal at the end, it was money well spent."
We couldn't disagree more on the role live sports will play in HBO's future. You believe they'll become more important to HBO, I believe they'll be minimized or eliminated by HBO.
You raise many great points about the "freshness" of live sports, but that is precisely why they won't fit into HBO's future."
"HBO's real fight is going to be with Netflix. Eventually fighting with Al Haymon is going to be a waste of their time. HBO's resources will be better spent elsewhere. "
