Details on Haymon's deal with NBC.

haymon is king

 

Idk about king, but as shady as he is you gotta give him credit for being a smart business man. We'll see how this plays out.

he's saving people money from PPV fights and there's whining.

 

:deal

Subscriptions too.

 

As skeptical as I am of Haymon, if he makes this work and putting on decent fights isnt just for the "honeymoon phase" I will be happy.

Still, the downside seems to be that it will be the "Haymon League" with Haymon acting as resident Dana White. Well, we will see how it goes I guess.

 

The sponsorship will win this over ,its a win ,win. Its like a upgraded of ESPN Friday night fights , but done once a month ...I love it.

 

Keeping the fighters active and the drug testing are both good signs

 

It seems this is the reason why GBP unsigned all these fighters. And now all of a sudden Arum is okay with the May 2 date. It also seems that Floyd was right ,that the future of boxing is Al Haymon. However I do see Roc Nation doing something great ,which is better that what SMS was doing.

 

The good thing is i have no reason to keep Showtime. None

 

Not necessarily. NBC Sports will still need to be purchased through a mid-level package with cable and satellite providers. No different from HBO and Showtime. Every budget minded individual with lower packages will still not have access to this channel, however they may have an HBO or Showtime add on. As far as I know, you need to upgrade to a specific package to get NBC Sports.

 

that's good. they will be active.

 

Hmmm, I haven't seen details but I have NBC sports. Will I be able to watch this?

 

If you have it then yes you will be able to watch it.

I am hearing that Haymon is trying to purchase time on Spike as well.
