Economics for Haymon-NBC Deal

This move is a major breakthrough for Boxing and is designed to make boxing a mainstream sport. I can predict that a LOT more than 10% of those homes will be watching the March 7th card. Just think about it: Danny Garcia and Adrien Broner on NBC.

 

Who gives a ****? As long as the fights are free Network TV why does it matter? You have people complaining about good free fights on TV. Boxing fans.:-(

 

I don't understand why individuals get concerned about the economics of a boxing deal. There will be free network boxing for the first time in 30 yrs and I will enjoy it. That's my end, as I will not gain any lucre from this venture. I hope its successful because I Love following the sport. Haymon, DLH, Arum, and their machinations mean nothing to me, as long as we get fights. Haymon is getting the sport on the networks again which is good. Haymon and what he does is irrelevant to me, as long as he is producing events I want to see.

 

Selling advertisements (commercials) is how he'll recoup money.

It will be interesting to see if sponsors want to be associated with someone like Broner. His act might fly on premium cable, but his sort of antics won't go over well on NBC.

I'm happy with the fights announced and hope the momentum continues. But people who worship Al are over the top. Good fights, but ones that could easily have gone down last year. This is the type of product that we should see regularly, but the standard was set so low in 2014 that people are going crazy with this announcement.

 

Has anyone ever thought that maybe Al was holding back on these fights because he knew he had something brewing with NBC this year and wanted to sell those fights to NBC. That IMO makes the most sense.

 

His investors are assuming all of the risk. NBC already has their money so they don't care about the ratings. It's up to Haymon to figure out how to make his investors their money back and with his track record i'm pretty sure it will be successful.

As a fan I don't even like Haymon, but he is probably the best promoter/manager for FIGHTERS in the history of the sport. He builds up hypejobs and gets them huge guarantees. Compare that to Arum and Don King who made great fights but also kept all of the money.

There is a reason why so many fighters love Al Haymon, you are even seeing LATINO fighters leaving Mexican owned GBP to go fight for him.

 

This will be very interesting to see unfold over the course of the deal. The reason why boxing ended up going to the premium cable channels and PPV was to support the higher purses that boxers were demanding and network TV was no longer suitable to facilitate that.

From the 80's until now, I really don't see the landscape changing too much. If network tv couldn't produce enough money to satisfy the fighters pay back then, I am skeptical that it will today over the course of the deal.

 

Where did haymon get his money from and who are these investors

Very very shady

You know that the CIA secretly funded zuckerberg to set up Facebook as the perfect way to spy on anyone they wanted

If arum isn't involved we can count out any Israeli money in the pot

Who's calling the shots I wonder and why

I can only imagine it's a CIA fronted company to create superstars in boxing who will follow the agenda

If you follow hip hop closely it went to real rappers to slime today throwing up illuminati hand signs and promoting their agenda in their videos

Boxing has and will always have a huge black and Latino Mexican audience- is this finally the way to infiltrate the Mexican masses to follow the satanic new world order by creating sell out 'celebrity' boxers

Just like jay z sold out his soul like the Uncle Tom that he is

 

As far as a fighter,manger,promoter, etc go I care about their personal finances about as much as they care about mine......none.

Being interested in the economics of this deal is a much different thing though.

This is a big oppurtunity for boxing and I want to know about its success as much as possible be it ratings, economics, advertising, etc.

Boxing has a lot riding on this Haymon venture. If it fails, while being time bought, then you forget boxing have any chance at network tv any time soon.

If it succeeds than there are numerous positive outcomes that could come into play. NBC might go on for more than 2 years, other networks could become interested, new advertising partnerships formed etc.

With a lot at stake here you'd actually think more people would be interested in the economics of this deal.

 

I am really happy about the idea of this deal

It could potentially create some huge stars

I hope there is a uk partner for this

I just don't trust the tranny lover

The deal sounds great, he sounds like he is in the illuminati

 

:rofl

 

there is a catch to it

 

When boxing is considered some kind of a passion, it is interesting to understand all the dimensions of it, the economics of a deal like that can make you understand why some match up are or are not being made, who is hyped and why, etc. I personnaly find a thread like this very informative.
