Haymon paying NBC $20 million for 24 fight dates

Damn that's some great news, hopefully now we get to see Garcia vs Salka II.

 

if it is true then he could possibly be trying to replicate what the ufc did where they had to pay the network to broadcast their stuff however mma was very appealing to americans and pretty much the rest of the world back then because it was a new sport


while boxing has been around forever also the ufc had dana who was a rich boxing manager at the time and the fretitta brothers who are casino owners that had to shower tons and tons of money on the promotion before it started to make money now i know al haymon is rich but is he really casino owner type of rich and how are we so sure that this will even pull in big ratings since boxing has been away for so long and hbo still has half the big stars in boxing that will probably pay the boxers more money eventually so the boxers would wanna go back there
