it's bizarre to me how many fanbois this guy has, when he is practically unseen and unheard. you have massive swathes of the african american boxing community online who cheer for fighters almost solely based on if theyre with al haymon or not. even crawford and other black fighters were getting hate if they werent with haymon.

💯agree , genuinely doesnt offend me but a lot of African American twitter is straight up racist, worst thing about it is that top pros interact and acknowledge these imbeciles who's knowledge of boxing rests on about 2 guys

Done more harm than good but he did make his fighters a lot of money. At the expense of the sport itself.

I’ve seen the rumours that Showtime will solely do PPV from next year but I’ll believe it when I see it.

It would have to mean PBC get another rights deal from someone else but would they be then having all of the PPVs on a different channel?

Interesting times ahead. They’ve still got a massive stable and have done well with Ppv this year but they’re not keeping their stable active as it is.
