Quillen doesn't make weight, bout is a non title fight

[Spicoli]

Not sure if it has been mentioned but the purses are surprising. Not sure how Haymon does this.

1.5 for Garcia
1.2 for Peterson
500k for Lee
500k for Quillen

And if Peterson loses he will lose his title.

Haymon is being backed by private equity/hedge fund-type people. He's got to pay the going rate to his fighters when GBP/Top Rank/HBO/Showtime will offer them that kind of dough to fight for them.

Yeah, I know how he is doing it. But I don't know how he is going to make it work. Just doesn't seem like enough commercials. I'm rooting for him though. Boxing on free TV is essential to the long term health of the sport.

They're expecting to lose money for a couple of years. They want to build a franchise like UFC or WWE and run multiple PPVs on the back of the free TV stuff.

Quillin down! Looks embarrased.

already seeing more real commercials so that's a good sign.

One of the only backdrops drawbacks of network tv is the 'no matter what happens' cut to commercial. You'd think by now they could stay with action between rounds with KD's and drama
