Dan Rafael chat wrap 9/5:
- Broner called out Matthysse. Man really in charge of making the match....Haymon...
- Huck would like to avenge his loss vs Cunningham. If it happened would be at Heavyweight.
- By not making the Korobov fight, Dan believes Quillin never wants to fight GGG (especially since he most likely would get less than $1.4 million).
- Haymon absolutely told Quillin to not take Korobov fight.
- Had Golden Boy won the purse bid, he believes Quillin would have fought. GB bid what Haymon told them to bid.
- Arum told him Rios-Alvarado 3 is being worked on for January.
- Roman Gonzalez is deserving looks into top 10 P4P.
- Picking Broner.
- Quillin's biggest purse to date: $400k to $450k. If they can't get $1.4 million vs. Jacobs...Winky Wright school of business.
- Unless your name is Floyd, Haymon makes all your fight decisions.
- There is no question Haymon's goal is to squeeze out all other promoters and is trying to gain ownership of all fighters.
- Estrada-Seguro winner is the ideal opponent for Gonzalez.
- Picking Frampton.
- Thought Weeks did a bad job controlling the roughhousing. Expects Bayless to do a better job.
- Purse bids: If it is a vacant title, purse is split 50/50. If it is a champion vs. mandatory it is: 75/25 or 70/30 depending on which organizing body.
- Roc Nation has desire to promote boxing and win purse bids. Interesting purse bid coming up: Stiverne-Wilder. What will Haymon do if Roc Nation wins? (thinks Roc Nation bids) Or the Gacia-Postol bid?...
- Pac vs. Garcia...ODH and Arum are in a fantasy world if they believe they can make this fight.
- He believes Clottey is a disgrace of an opponent for Canelo (if chosen).
- He likes the Bradley-Chaves matchup...since no Haymon fighters are possible.
- He never sees Pac and Canelo happening. The weight difference is too much.
- Beltran-Crawford has been made for 11/29.
- TR would make Korobov vs GGG for the right deal, title or no title.
- Part of the reason Floyd left HBO was that he was not a producer on 24/7. He wanted control over the show and HBO would not give it to him.
- Spence will be on the 9/11 card.
- Very likely Crawford will move to 140 after the Beltran fight.
- He thinks Mayweather-Maidana 2 gets under 870k buys. The hype has not been much at all. The interest level he hears from people is very low.
- Many think Haymon is breaking the Muhammed Ali act, but nothing is done about it because the government has never tried to remotely enforce it. And no lawsuits have been filed against him.
- He has heard mentions of JMM vs Cotto by Arum, but doesn't buy it being possible as there is too much weight difference and there is no real demand for the fight.
- Floyd says that Ariza has no official role with him.
- Has not heard anything on Gamboa's next move.
- Ward still owes Goosen over a year on his contract, according to the court hearings.
- HBO Johnny Tapia documentary coming this Fall.
- GGG's fight has already sold more than half the tickets. Box office is considered good so far.
