Al haymon and floyd

I really see this relationship ending like Don King and Mike Tyson. One is vulnerable to the other (literally, Mayweather cannot even read a contract), and one is a businessman, who always looks out for his interests first in a crisis situation, and recognizes the sanctity of a contract when things get tight. Things are obviously very tight for PBC. With HBO out of boxing, Showtime does not have to press too hard (not that there was any competition overlap anyway). Point is, without HBO, boxing is generally cheapened across the board in the US market. With Al having tremendous difficulty keeping his fighters active, and the streams of financing totally dry, he really only has Mayweather to go back to. Overall, it is a very toxic situation for everybody involved. Mayweather still has his market value when matched correctly. (Against a top guy he can still generate lots of money for the business. Though against Berto as we learned he can't generate sh*t). When the sh*t hits the fan and Mayweather can't fight anymore, and the moneystream is dry, how will he even defend himself? I bet he'll have to go back to someone like Don Hale or Shelly Finkel, or maybe even Todd Duboeuf and Arum. Or maybe Don King if he can still fight a bit.

....it's highly unlikely HAYMON will respond any differently than King did.

Bottom line is that Al is Mayweather's point man when it comes to business. They have some shared business interests too, but as the commenter above says, they have mostly dried up. The only place they can go to for real, real money (ie, more than major annual CEO compensation) is Mayweather. But Mayweather is old and vulnerable in the ring now, and cannot read out of it. He was being hounded 8 weeks ago by the IRS, (ie people you don;t f*&k with) cause he had no money. When things are on thin ice, bad things happen. We saw it with Tyson and Don King, after Tyson bit Holyfield's ear, was suspended, and market value had tanked. Just like Don, Al is a consummate businessman; sanctity of contract is sacrosanct. When Floyd comes begging

Haymon is not Floyd's promoter so the comparison is already ****

Are you saying Haymon needs Mayweather? not at all. Hes very shrewd. He stole almost the entire Goldenboy roster and he made a ton of money off PBC while it tanked. PBC was run with investor money and his fighters got paid to fight on it. He pays his fighters well, but the only thing mayweather needs to be careful of is getting into deals with him as a promoter, realizing how Haymond fuked over DLH.

Doubtfu..and here's why.. Haymon needed something headlining to break into boxing Floyd needed someone to manage business that needed him as much as he needed them their relationship enriched them both Floyd was the carrot Haymon could dangle to the networks and other fighters Haymon was the carrot Floyd could dangle at the networks to get his money up They needed each other They both got what they wanted out of the relationship Floyd got his money and cut out the establishment of boxing Haymon got his company and a resume that shows he's managed the top boxing events in the past ten years This relationship came at the right time for both and they both got what they wanted out of it

Al probably made his retirement money from floyd. id say most likely he has done that just with floyds last 10 or so fights.
