    How can you say with any kind of certainty that Arum and Hearn are more intelligent than Haymon. Give examples that support your claim.

    Didn't Fury flat out say no rematch? Nothing more to iron out really. A contract was signed and Fury refused to honor it. Personally, Fury should have gotten Wilder 3 out of the way awhile ago. 3-4 months after the second ass whoppin. Everything would be straight forward at this point.

    Well something happened around the world that made that extremely unlikely. But ideally, yes. Ultimately it goes back to Furys part-time-fighter tendencies. He didn't want to fight Wilder again; he wanted Joshua. Which is fine, great even! Just don't sign the contract that he signed and when he did, know what you signed. Obviously he feels he deserves more pay and more control now that he scored a big W in the rematch. He should dismiss all of his advisers.

    Why is Al Haymon a man who looks after the best interests of his fighters a vampire? Are you aware he does not charge his fighters a single penny or cent until they start earning above a certain amount.

    Are you saying Al Haymon is misunderstood?

    He keeps quiet as he is not interested in being the star as he believes the limelight belongs to the boxers. His job is to secure them the best purses and ensure they have a great life after boxing. He saw how boxing and the promoters treated his brother Bobby and swore if he ever got involved he would do things better and ensure the boxers got as much of the money not the promoters. The people who hate him are the old school promoters. I wonder why.

    No, it just means contract law has to be honored.

    Best interest of his fighter? If anything Haymon hinders his fighters potential earnings and legacies.

    Many of PBC top fighters were considered to be too inactive and avoiding top fights pre pandemic.

    Displaying no confidence in his fighters fighting their rivals such refusing and having no interest to let Wilder fight AJ and Spence vs Bud.

    I just think it is inexcusable how Bob Arum, Frank Warren, Eddie Hearn screwed this up. Shelley Finkle and Al Hayman don't go dancing in the media or hold victory dances every time but they bossed and beat the pants off the Duo of Arum, Warren, Hearn here
