Has this shadowy Al Haymon guy ever made a star in his time in boxing?

[champion4ever]

wilder, in the last 3 years, has prob made more than any active american born boxer has in their career

Yep! He most certainly has. That's very true! I agree!

[champion4ever]

They are definitely not stars lol Leon Santa Cruz haha

In Southern California Leo Santa Cruz is huge for a guy fighting in a smaller weight class. Didn't he beat Carl Frampton and Abner Mares twice?

Who's making stars in boxing nowadays? There's Canelo and then there's everyone else. Wilder has probably made more money and has a bigger name recognition than any boxer in the world besides Canelo. Spence and Tank are also up and coming stars with growing followings. Boxing just isn't as big as it used to be..and that's not all onAl..

Good point. You're right I think. Borderline if you can call him a star because the majority of Americans wouldn't have a clue who he was but the bar is very low thesedays.

Beyonce's stage managed career KOing 35 bums fooled the casual fan public into thinking that he was far better than be really was.

Fury is the one who made Wilder what he is now. For 39 fights Wilder was unknown. Even a walk on Times Square no one recognized him.

I doubt even Canelo would be recognized if he walked through Times Square without his entourage.

Not likely. They even stopped people on the street to ask if they knew who Wilder was, most did not know.

Vernon Forrest was a major star that he himself developed. It’s sad when people are just naming Broner, Tank, Wilder etc like they were already known before they linked up with him, even Mayweather was already known. Most were riding with GBP before linking up with Haymon.

[Larry the boss]

Only people who speak negative about the Man are people who don't know him and never worked with him...EXACTLY!

As a Adviser, his job is NOT to please us the fans, his job really is the make sure his fighter get PAID and try to help them avoid getting caught up in these Awful Deals with promoters and he does that very well.

As for creating stars...so Spence, Wilder, Tank Davis, Thurman, Charlo Brothers, Benavidez, Plant...are they not bigger stars now than they was before PBC was created?

I get it though, seems like one of these threads are created once a month it is created just the Bash and Argue about someone none of us even know personally.
