If that's what Haymon thinks boxing fans want to watch he is wrong. I'm sure everyone made some decent money and liked the TV exposure, but that doesn't mean watching a totally outclassed fighter get his ass handed to him is enjoyable to watch or doing any of the fighters a bit of good. Haymon has to do better or his fighters are going to be labeled protected. IMO
Haymon is apparently cornering the TV market. Even if most of the stable fighters are shit, he clearly has the optics part of the fight game down to a tee. That alone can command 50% more than what fighters can make, even in their early stages, fighting the same tin-cans.
