A federal judge says there’s no evidence that boxing’s mystery manager/promoter Al Haymon has any economic power…so far. Paul Gift has the details.
Enigmatic boxing manager, Al Haymon, has had a big year. His newest venture, Premier Boxing Champions (PBC), started in January and has since aired on NBC, NBC Sports Network, ESPN, ESPN Deportes, CBS, FOX Sports 1, FOX Deportes, Spike TV and Bounce TV. Not a bad start for a new boxing promotion...er...series.
While Haymon would describe PBC as "a boxing series that returns the sweet science to its rightful place atop the sports pantheon" with bouts "promoted by licensed promoters, with each bout in accordance with applicable regulatory rules and regulations," Golden Boy Promotions and Top Rank would beg to differ.
