Everything I read there is things that Arum has done for years and now he is suing because he no longer has the better stable?

Haymon detractors in 2014 = "He doesn't pin his fighters against each other"

Haymon detractors in 2015 = "He's only having his guys fight each other"

Go figure. Now he pays them too much? Although didn't Timmy get 1.5 to fight the young, hungry, undefeated, giant killer that is Jesse Vargas?

A quick Google search stated that while Haymon is worth about $15M, Arum is worth over $200M. So I really don't understand how Haymon is beating Bob in bidding wars.

Haymon has investors right now bankrolling him hundreds of millions. Also Bob's in the business of making money on each show, Al has no issues losing money (which he is doing everyday) for potential long term gain. That's why they were able to pay over $3 million for Direll-Degale even though the fight was actually worth a fraction of that.

Haymon is trying to do things promoters do, choosing events, paying fighters, etc. Managers cannot do these things. The Ali act was made specifically to distinguish promoters from managers.

Before anyone jumps on me for trying to say I got my lawyer degree, I just been reading the document/plaintiff for the last hour so fck off lol

That's some serious accusations they're gonna have to prove. Hell you could do the reverse and say that TR and GB only work with certain managers and in effect run them, but proving it would be difficult.

The fighters are free agents in Haymon's system and can work for any promoter they choose. These dinosaurs are mad that a new business model has made them obsolete.

Long live the Bobfather.

Coolest nickname in history.

Was the reason for payment specified?

Does it say "Purse 4/18/15"?

[MC Hammer]

As long as Arum can prove what he is suing over, I think he has a solid case.

I think that can be said of any case ever
