this makes absolutely ZERO sense to me. not like there is a huge fight out there for him that is imminent or anything. what the hell i must be missing something. this might even be haymon doing a huge powerplay and telling jay z to **** off or something
Haymon is going to get Showtime to pay Quillin as much or more to fight another Haymon fighter, Danny Jacobs, probably this fall at Barclays.
If he doesn't do that, he's risks a lot, since the one thing Haymon is known for doing is maximizing his fighter's pay. He may get criticized for some of the softest touches and weakest ducking around, but Haymon gets guys paid. If he got Quillin to vacate for a smaller payday, that would hurt his reputation a lot.
