Mares Explains Jumping From Golden Boy To Al Haymon

Abner Mares (29-11-, 15KOs) is less than a week away from his showdown with Southern California rival Leo Santa Cruz (30-0-1, 17KOs). The fight takes place on Saturday night at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.

The fight became more of a reality when last year Mares parted ways with longtime manager Frank Espinoza and signed on with manager/adviser Al Haymon. Santa Cruz has worked for years with Haymon.

Since coming on board with Haymon, Mares says their relationship is very strong.

"It's very good. Since signing me and until now, we have a very friendly relationship. A very open relationship. He gives me advice and tells me which fight is good for me and which is not. And I am very happy about our relationship because he's a good guy, a good person, because he's not only looking out for his own benefit, but also for the benefit of me," Mares told ESPN Deportes.

In leaving Espinoza, Mares also parted ways with Golden Boy Promotions. He had been with them for his entire career and became the first world champion groomed by their banner.

"What happened is the contract ended. People think that I just left, I broke the contract, but that's not what happened. It was a matter of business, as in any other job, where someone is not required to remain in that job for life. I was with Golden Boy for seven years. I was the first world champion of the company and the contract was finished," Mares said.

"And when Haymon came to me, I told Oscar that were offering me other things and never got a counter-proposal. Therefore, I was looking after the welfare of my family, I opted for what they were offering me in this endeavor and thanked them for all they had done for me in Golden Boy. "

"There was a good relationship [De La Hoya]. But the truth is, there was never a direct relationship with him. And I think that's something that was missing with Oscar, as owner of the company, which is something that he's now doing. For my part, again, it was just a business decision."

I was referring to Mickey Bey breh:heh:


He beat the #1 Lightweight and took his belt, but yet people still doubt him due to John ROIDlina knocking him out with a hail mary at the end of the game, so give us Figgy or Bart....and we will again prove our spot in Boxing today:blessed:

1. bey got popped for roiding; molina for a diuretic....theres a difference :russ:
2.. he was gifted that title..vazquez made a stupid decision signing to haymon and paid the price with his belt..he has not been seen on TV since..where at least for HBO he actually was part of televised cards
3. no one told bey to show off and not to hold..dude literally ate punch after punch until the ref had to rescue his dumb ass from getting sent completely to the bushes

Sure is...Bey forget to use the water pills like Roidlina did:sas2:


2.. he was gifted that title..vazquez made a stupid decision signing to haymon and paid the price with his belt..he has not been seen on TV since..where at least for HBO he actually was part of televised cards

Come on now Pat:comeon:

We won that fight fair and square AND as the underdog:ufdup:




I would say early XMas present is more like it:youngsabo:


3. no one told bey to show off and not to hold..dude literally ate punch after punch until the ref had to rescue his dumb ass from getting sent completely to the bushes


Which is why we need Figgy's or Bart's scalp in order to erase that from the boxing fan's memory. He blew that fight:yeshrug:

Dude literally had it all :snoop:

His style would have gave Pacman all kinds of problems had they fought back when nikkas were discussing it.

None of those guys wanted it with Lil Tyson back then (El Terrible, MAB, Pac). JMM was "avoided" back then & had people calling him "The Avoided Juan". Guzman came knocking on that door but never got an answer from him either.

1. Same nikka that cries about The Mexican Hero at 160 :cape:for diuretics :rudy:


2. We should be thanking Al Haymon for keeping Vazquez off TV...Put Vazquez on PBC so haters can bytch N shyt on the fight :mindblown:

As far as it being a mistake signing with Haymon...Vazquez was inactive for over a year N then fought on HBO2 at 4am all while being a champ...who the hell wouldn't wanna leave that :camby:

Please tell me you're trolling....

Trolling about what in that sentence? Im 100% serious.

Mickey Bey was busted for PEDs, but John Molina was also roided up in his fight against AB. Him being caught using "diuretics", which ironically masks any trace of PEDs, was all I needed to know.

nikka was trying to flush his system and got caught.

If Bey went heavy on the water pills, he wouldve been busted for diuretics as well...like ROIDlina was.
