    It's more about trying to squeeze money out of Goossen to give to his buddy Antonio Leonard than anything else.

    Leonard never promoted shyt, and Ward thought he was entitled to a piece of the pie when they never had a written agreement about it. Goossen ain't no fool, and he won.

    Leonard was Ward's co-promoter right? I never looked closely into it but Ward did lose every single lawsuit against Goosen :think

    Looking forward to seeing him at LHW. A genuinely excellent boxer.

    A business man who doesn't do business with Roc Nation. Ward-Stevenson isn't happening any time soon.

    That's one of the most often repeat stupid statements of the site.
    Roc Nation has only been around for a couple year and has only just signed Cotto and Ward.
    To believe Roc Nation fighters and Al Haymon fighters will never meet is just light years beyond stupid. :lol:

    Al Haymon is a control freak and a failed promoter, he cannot make a fight to save his life unless an organization holds his greasy paw and orders a purse bid as he throws a temper tantrum like a 4 year old.
    He's also scared to death of anyone who can possibly outbid him: Ryabinsky, Roc Nation etc.

    See Quillin-WBO debacle.

    Yeah, let's just forget about the Beyonce beef, playa. :lol:

    Nevermind Jay-Z offering Haymon fighters ridiculous amounts to cross over and sign with him... :patsch

    I stopped reading right there. Nuff said. That completely explains why Haymon would completely throw his business acumen out the door.
    Great job! :good

    It's a long read, but it's all there. That's a few months before Goossen won the second lawsuit.

    I don't know if the bad blood between Haymon and Jay-Z can be settled, it could but It'll take some time. Like I said, Ward-Stevenson is not happening anytime soon.

    Suppose Pacquiao was a Roc Nation fighter.
    Do you believe Mayweather-Pac wouldn't have happened simply because of Haymon and Jay-Z's personal feelings?
    Jay-Z isn't a business person, but Al is.
    Ward-Stevenson would be a big fight. It will probably happen. :yep
