Just wondering....if he fights when he wants and who he wants then why does he need al haymon?
I understand other fighters cause they may not be as big a star and Al can get them big fights with lots of money but does Floyd need him? And was Al and Floyd working together when Oscar vs Floyd happen?
Y didn't Oscar use haymon as well?
Advisor and consultant. bosses at many companies have these. It's very common in business. Companies often hire consulting firms to help them do better business. That exactly what haymon does for Floyd. Haymon is a powerful man in the sport but he does work for Floyd, not the other way around .
haymon is his manager and handles the business end of things. Al has an MBA from Harvard and made millions putting on concerts throughout the world. he has a great business acumen and a litany of contacts.
Besides, floyd dropped out of school at like 16. You don't **** around and pretend you know how to handle a multi million dollar business if you are in his position. you get someone who can.
floyd is is own boss in the sense that nobody can force his hand and say "do this or you are through". but he doesnt make his own deals, he has people negotiating for him one of whom is al haymon. haymon arguably does this better than anyone and while floyd can certainly make big bucks on his own as well, haymon can maximize his profits and make him even more money.
haymon is simply a great contact to have, just because you are a powerful presence in the business doesnt mean it wont benefit you to add another powerful man to your team. floyd doesnt need him at this stage, but he is still better of with him.

If Floyd is his own boss...what purpose does Al Haymon serve? | BoxingScene Community
