    Why such animosity for Heyman ? All he ever did was make fights !
     
  2. These guys just like hating Black people plain and simple. It's easier World Wide to do so.

    Arum is robbing his fighters blind and nobody says squat, yet complain that Haymon can't keep paying his fighters MILLIONS to fight. WTF?

    That's too bad that people use this as a forum for that type of bias... But, that's boxing. Look what they do to Black athletes in America anyways. They treat T.O. like O.J....
     
  4. :deal
    And T.O. was never a problem player on the field despite his outside life.
    It comes with the job I guess.

    He was never ever a problem off the field. No arrest, no record and lots of philanthropy...

    There's a changing of the guard. Boxing belongs to Heyman now and he's the future. Now we finally get to see fights and not have to wait 2 and 3 years until ODLH or ARum feels they're ready. Now that's BS.... Heyman is giving the sport back to the people.... !!!! The real fight fan !!!!

    Oh the racist card... So you are basically saying that the reason why I think HBO will continue to bring good fighters, if not the best, to their network by putting a lot of money on the table, is because Haymon is black... :think

    Don't understand the comment....
     
  9. He is trying to deflect what's real. Trying to turn the mirror and say people don't hate Haymon because he is Black it is because of his business practices of paying fighters great purses and giving exposure to unknown prospect and getting them a pay day.
    Arum does do nothing for nothing either. Where is that Chinese hype job he was trying to build to cash in on a billion Chinese? I guess Bob really loves Asian fighters right?

    It is not what I said. What I am saying is that HBO will keep puting on great cards because they have a lot of money. Since they are doing business with GBP and TR, those two companies will be fine. These arguments are based on reason and not race.

    I'm not sure what the argument is about. This is not about being for or against haymon. the OP said specifically that haymon has top rank and golden boy on the ropes.

    the facts suggest this is not true. if his business model is to run top rank and golden boy out the business. that probably won't happen as long as hbo is not funding his venture and stands opposite of him. as long as hbo is there top rank and golden boy will always be in business.

    This means hbo and haymon will be in a protracted war. this is good for sport, competition creates better fights and more exposure. think wcw wwf.

    however, the fact haymon is bleeding money hand over fight without making a dent into hbo's viewership, haymon's only chance is to get a tv deal.

    this is why mayweather cannot retire. he is the bargaining chip for haymon for a new tv deal.

    You are thinking of Zou Shiming, but Arum also aired fights by guys like Rex Tso. He's basically hired every talent in China to try and break into that market.

    When someone has no more arguments, they pull out the "race card" to suggest that you are racist when in fact, it's not even the case....oh well...:patsch
