Lou DiBella "Al Haymon Fired Me From PBC For Trying To Get Wilder The AJ Fight"

[Robbie Barrett]

“In retrospect, I was too brash going in there without creating the relationships I needed to create with the people who advised Deontay Wilder. I have now worked to do that. It has to do with going back to the education I needed before getting into boxing … When we left that (Wilder) meeting, I knew we messed up and that we weren’t going to be successful.

“We were impatient, and after having some early success, we wanted to move quickly. Now I understand that I’ve got to work relationships, work within a framework and understand other peoples’ self-interests and needs as well … If I had to do it again, I’d have gone in and said, ‘I’m playing the long game.’ I’m playing the long game with Canelo and GGG, too.”


what i got from that is..."well...i sorta went through dibella to set up the meeting without really talking to haymon and finkel about it first...i knew i screwed up but i desperately wanted to make it sound like we offered wilder the fight to save face for AJ because hearn was making a mockery out of it"

also remember wilder said they wouldnt divulge what AJ was getting....

when he says "work relationships" basically he went to dibella when you know damn well thats not the guy you reach out to first....

You should be a fiction or fantasy writer. Absolute BS stories come out of you. "What i got from that" NO you didn't, it's impossible to get that. You claim to be a boxing fan, start acting like one instead sucking off Haymon.


DAZn made Wilder an amazing offer. Haymon didn't want it because it's not good for PBC, looking out for his own interests more than Wilders. Going against what a managers job is. Because of the DAZN offer Haymon had to start paying Wilder more, that's why he forced Dibella out, Dibella cost him money. Haymon is a dirty bastard that's bad for the sport.

Yeah reading through this thread... Same **** different year

Pretty much..........

[DaNeutral.]

not even close.....

theyd love the fight...not on DAZN...not when nobody could find out how much AJ was getting

we have tons of evidence against AJ...

we also have AJ getting beat the **** up

Hahaha, so weak, so desperate. I'd say the duck is officially in but we all already knew that.

Lou DiBella who use to promote most if not all of Deontay Wilders previous fights with PBC confirmed in multiple interviews today that Deontay Wilder was told by Al Haymon to fire him because he set up the meeting with Deontay Wilder and DAZN who offered Wilder a massive lucrative $120 million deal to fight AJ.

He mentions he found it very strange that he got fired for getting Wilder a career high payday for the AJ fight which Wilder, Shelly Finkle and Haymon claim to be trying to make anyway.

If it wasn't already blatantly obvious, now even the Wilder fan squad can't deny team Wilder had no intention of fighting AJ.. They immediately fired the person who made efforts to make the fight.

PBC is trying to do the same thing as DAZN except DAZN is saving consumers tons of money

Which by the way is the same thing Top Rank, GBP, and every other promotion does.

DAZN stands alone in both quality and price

Lou was fired for setting up a meeting he didn't have permission to set up and violating Finkel & Haymon's exclusive rights to negotiate Wilder's fights.

So why were Haymon and Finkel at this meeting if it was illegal. Shouldn't they have refused to have gone and or flat out canceled the meeting?

Your logic has more holes than Swiss cheese.

It doesn’t matter how anyone tries to spin this, it was clear as day that they never wanted the fight in the first place.

Di Bella isn’t negotiating on Wilders behalf, he didn’t go above his pay grade. He probably thought they really wanted the fight, and he was definitely only looking out for the best interest of Wilder.

He arrange the meeting so that his managers and advisers can go and cut him his own deal, just like Canelo cut his own deal, just like Tyson Fury cut his own deal with ESPN.

To suggest Di Bella did something he isn’t meant to be doing is typical of the PBC cultists fangirls that you are seeing defending this move, at this point it isn’t even about looking out for the boxers anymore with these ******s, it’s about looking out for PBC best interest, just like Haymon own goals (Looking out for PBC’s best interest NOT the boxers).

So if the deal makes sense to the boxer but NOT PBC then the deal would never be made, whilst if the deal makes sense to PBC but not the boxers then they would brainwash the boxers to take the deal.

This is like Don King shit on so many levels, it’s actually scary come to think of it. These boxers can make so much more but they are been told to take less.... I just wish one of them is actually educated like Mikey Garcia.

Sounds like Lou went behind Al & Shelly back and tried to make a deal to get himself a contract with DAZN by getting Wilder to sign with them. That's why Skipper said they didn't build the proper relationships before trying to sign Wilder and he knew once the meeting ended they had messed up.

Skipper had worked with Haymon at ESPN. They tried to steal one of Haymon's biggest assets. Skipper knew the proper channels to get to Wilder but he and Lou tried to go through the back door.

Anybody really surprised they stopped working with Lou after Lou tried to steal Wilder so he himself could get a DAZN deal?

[Motorcity Cobra]

Promoting fighters that he didn't have under contract was always a sucker move. Its shortsighted.

He got paid for promoting guys not under contract. His only alternative was not to promote those guys and don't make any money. How is that a sucker move?

[The Big Dunn]

He didn't work for Haymon, he worked for Wilder. Which is what Haymon is supposed to do too, but Haymon is working for himself. Haymon is making the Ali act a joke. Clowns support him doing it.

Dibella did help Wilder though. Because of that meeting Haymon had to pay Wilder more.

.

Now I understand why the bbc showed LeBron when doing a story about Kobe’s death. You guys are just idiots.

The man says haymon fires him and then you say he didn’t work for him.

I can see why Harry is in Canada.

[Motorcity Cobra]

Haymon is a mastermind, always has been.

However in this case, anybody who can convince a fighter to fire a guy who lined him up a $120 million opportunity for him is incredibly smart, or the fighter is incredibly ******.

It wasn't $120 million. And the majority of the money was based on the AJ fight. And after AJ lost that was pretty much out the window. And DAZN can't force fights. If they could we would've had Canelo vs GGG by now
