Al Haymon prefers to handle matters behind the scenes and let his clients bask in the glow of their accomplishments.
To Haymon, that's what a successful manager should be about.
"The stars are the fighters and, personally, I think it takes away from the sport when managers and promoters steal away attention from these talented young men, who do something very dangerous for a living," Haymon said.
His superstar clients included Floyd Mayweather Jr., Jermain Taylor and Antonio Tarver. Haymon also worked with a slew of other big names.
Haymon advised former welterweight champ Vernon Forrest, whom Haymon credits with getting him involved as a boxing advisor, former cruiserweight champ Vassiliy Jirov and heavyweight champion Lamon Brewster.
Haymon's stable also included heavyweights Audley Harrison and Chris Arreola, super middleweights Librado Andrade and Enrique Ornelas, welterweights Andre Berto and Paul Williams and junior welterweight Lorenzo Reynolds.
