First Details of Venture Between Al Haymon and NBC Sports Announced
- Thread starter Jae
- Start date
some dude posted this on nsb with no sources..interesting if true tho
Haymon is currently in negotiations with:CBS, CBS SportsNet & S P I K E TVHe is doing more then bringing Boxing back to network TV.The PBC will soon be announced as a league and no fighters in it will be part of WBC, WBA etc.With his own league The Ali Act will no longer apply as there are no "promoters" much like the UFC or WWE. Fighters will sign Non-Compete Clauses and will have guaranteed purses and percentage of event profits built into contracts. Think everyone should take notice...guy is trying something. Good or bad....we are gonna see good fights on regular TV and soon more then on just NBC. What I find interesting is the 2 biggest networks known for sports:ABC/ESPN & FoxAre not involved. I see Haymon planning on starting a legit sports league on both NBC and CBS and in 2 years when the contracts are up the prayer is the 2 sports networks bid like crazy against each other for all the rights.

Using the WWE as an example is nonsense because pro wrestling is not a sport but this whole idea of "no promoters" is bullshyt. The UFC has to have a promoters license in order to put on their cards. They aren't just allowed to put on shows with no official oversight.
Whether Haymon wants to start his own boxing league or not is irrelevant, it is still going to be boxing with means it would still fall under the same regulations that current boxing falls under which means he would need someone with a promoters license to put on his cards and the Ali Act would still be in effect.
