In Florida at least it would be. People that post about the Haymon conflict being "bull****" dont know what they are talking about. Managers and promoters are different from each other in that managers have a fiduciary duty to the fighter, while promoters dont. For Floyd to fight either Williams or Berto, Haymon would most likely have to recuse his interest in one side of the fight.
Here is the Florida Statute on the subject. (see 2a)
548.056 Prohibited financial interests in participant; penalties.--
(1) A member of the commission; an employee of the commission; a referee or judge licensed by the commission; or an attending physician may not have any direct or indirect financial or pecuniary interest in any participant.
(2)(a) A manager, trainer, or second of any participant shall not have any direct or indirect financial or pecuniary interest in the opponent in any contest in which her or his own participant participates.
(b) A participant shall not have any direct or indirect financial or pecuniary interest in her or his opponent in any contest.
(3) A violation of this section is a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.
