Although this is a good match up, I don't really understand why Broner would take it. Why doesn't he fight someone in the lower part of the top ten first. Showtime is paying him good money to fight guys without big names. Why not continuing fighting those level guys while he rebuilds himself? He hasn't exactly looked fantastic against Molina and Taylor. Fun though. Why risk it with Matthysse? Why not fight another tune up or something and then get bigger money against Garcia, where, even if he loses, it won't be as punishing?

Great match up and the trend seems to be going they way you described. Haymon is most likely arranging network tv deals because he can see the ppv era eroding away. He knows he can sell mediocrity based on the numbers from Garcia/Salka and I can see him loading up cards with names vs TBA.

He's going full on promoter Haymon Boxing

I welcome the end of ppv but we are going to feel a little pain as fans in the process.
Interesting. What'd you hear about Haymon becoming a promoter?
