[SHOCKER!] Al Haymon is the Scourge of Boxing

Fighting_Pride

if you look up al haymon on wikipedia, the first sentence says he is one of the most influential people within professional boxing and pretty much calls all the shots. his clientele include mayweather, jr., adrien broner and danny garcia to name a few.

haymon has found a way to manage fighters and promote fights without needing a promoter's or manager's license (wtf?). countless fighters have appeared on premium cable networks only made possible by their affiliation with haymon. unproven fighters propped up to be stars. best example of this is hw seth mitchell who was middle linebacker that turned boxer out of the blue and despite no resume whatsoever collected large paydays and was quickly pushed towards a world title shot. mitchell was ko'ed in his last fight.

haymon is the puppet master and controls all the contacts with the television networks, with the advertisers and with the venues. majority of the boxers out there suffer while they (haymon in particular) benefit.

your thoughts?

Old news. Berto enjoyed every minute of it for a long while.

Bob Arum is the scapegoat that Haymon uses to take away any attention from him, Floyd uses the same technique on Pacquiao and Haymon makes sure Floyd points fingers at Arum callin ghim a crook.

Haymon is the real sneaky snake figure who lurks in the background never giving interviews or showing his face, what does he have to hide?

Maybe he likes fortune but doesnt care for fame. Now i dont him or what hes about but ive never heard anyone talk about him, other than Arum and his new flunky 50, but i have heard many bad things about Arum. Which is true who knows but when it comes to the money aspect of the sport i can care less.
