From fight news: "ABC calls on US Attorney General to launch investigation on Haymon." How do you feel about this? Is this a fair statement: "Al Haymon is doing the same crooked stuff the ABC organizations and promoters have been trying for years, but he is just better at it. What Haymon is accomplishing now is a byproduct of the unethical environment (and discontent amongst boxers and fans) that ABC organizations and top promoters have created. The organizations/promoters are upset now because they are being beaten at the game they created."
The guy from Harvard is 5 steps ahead, believe me on that. Nothing will come of this. In fact I doubt any of this is true.
How can crooks tell on a alleged crook. If they open up dirt on Haymon they also have to expose their "Dirty" hands. I believe Haymon is trying to UFC boxing but these guys can't work together to get a fight going let alone take down a man who is already 10 chess moves ahead of them. Ask Kathy Duva about Haymon she gets so worked up that her vag get soaked calling out Haymon's name in vain. For now the only thing that can destroy Al is himself. No outside source is capable of it.
I don't remember them being this macho and considerate when Don King was literally stomping on fighter's lives. Is Haymon doing the same?, hell no and not even close. Despite his imperfections, he gets hi fighters hyped well enough and paid. King was so free in his time, that he didn't care to stomp on massive public figures like Tyson without worrying much about public questioning. You can only imagine or guess what he did to others that didn't have the public attention Tyson did, Tim Whiterspoon should be one good example worth looking into.
Wasn't there an investigation on Arum too? He'll get away probably but wouldn't surprise me if he found some loopholes to exploit.
Thats the thing, it was the fighters who were getting shafted, not the networks or ABC organizations. There was no threat. Now Haymon is threatening their income, not the fighters.
ted kaczynski went to Harvard, has a higher iq than Haymon and thought he was 5 steps ahead too, believe me on that. per the scene: Golden Boy, ABC, WBO Join In Pending Haymon Lawsuit
Yeah but wasn't the Ali Act introduced in 2000? Shortly after that, DKP started losing fighters and it wasn't the same.
what haymon did to quillin is also obscene. haymon pulled him out of a 1.4mil fight so he can fight on his pbc series. quillin ended up fighting lee for 500,000. he missed weight, lost an additional 125k. in total, quillin lost over 1mil. haymon clearly was looking for his best interest and not quillin.
:deal and one could argue he'd likely still be WBO champion right now and set up for a big fight for several more million vs Triple G, instead of the train wreck that he's in.
Haymon won't get in any serious trouble (I'm sure he's got himself covered), but they'll probably shake up his organization/s and make him change up the way he does business in some ways.
