They're both right and wrong about him being a genius.
They're right in the sense that there's no genius in cynical matchmaking. Any moron can see the advantages that offers and it's as old as the sport itself.
They're wrong in the sense that Haymon is simply in the seat of power and did nothing to get there. You don't have an industry sown up like he has without some exceptional relationship management skills. The contacts he has don't create themselves.
