    Iv been a vocal critic on hefd of haymon and he's pbc project which was never more than a ponzi to line he's own pockets.

    The main problem was a conflict of interest, he is managing pbc yet he benefits from paying he's fighters too Much because he gets money off of that?

    He milked the pbc investors for all they were worth, he is now putting on good fights with the last remaining money to build up superstars and find out who he's top fighters are for when pbc goes bust and all the fighters they want to keep will sign with the trickster Richard schaufer.

    Haymon will remain the manager of all these fighters and they will attempt to run the promotional company properly or else find someone gulliable investors and rob them

    I don't understand why people would care if he lines his pocket or not. I wasn't to happy with PBC and their crappy match ups but as it's free boxing it's hard to complain. Not to mention from time to time a gem of a fight comes along.

    It seems his gunna have to match his fighters tough now so I guess it all turned alright except for W&R but they were stupid enough to give him such a large war chest when the guy has had a seriously dubious past.

    As someone who isn't from the USA I didn't benefit from the free boxing but I did suffer with him holding up fighters careers and he's **** poor match making

    Not all of them.khytrov,deverychenko,beterbiev should be moving faster.

    He had almost a billion to spend, he could have made every single best match up in boxing of he wanted , literally brought in a golden age of boxing. Instead he decided to rob as much money as he could and put on a mediocre product

    He could of and don't get me wrong I agree with you this guy could have really given boxing a chance of being a mainstream sport again but the mistake your making is Haymon is looking out for his pocket just like Oscar, Bob or any promoter. Do I like it hell no but what the hell can we do except support the good fights and stream the bad ones.

    If you were Julian Assange would you walk by your windows? But there's no reason to doubt he's alive. Sean Hannity just went to London and interviewed him in the Ecuadorian embassy. It's airing tomorrow night at 10pm.

    I can't stand Haymon. One **** card after another. Literally the worst match ups in boxing history.

    It was how PBC was handled, it could have been better.
