    I can't hate on Al Haymon. The guy takes care of his fighters. You can hate the man all you want, but the man does his job and does it brilliantly.

      True.. but it sucks for boxing fans.. when his fighters are getting undeserved paydays.. leaving less for other fights that HBO can put on due to $$$. When we get fights like Berto vs. Hernandez..

        I don't like either, but Haymon seems like this evil devil force with career ending blackmail on everyone at HBO. So many undeserving fighters he manages are paid ludicrous money and hyped up to no end.

          The majority under the Top Rank umbrella, what about more with other promoters?

            Boxing fans don't seem to have a mind of their own. They all seem to follow whatever people like steve Kim and few others say.

            How is it that you never see him or never heard him **** on another fighter let alone speak but yet the boxing public hates him.

              The media expect to be wined and dined, Al Haymon doesn't play that ball game, so they go out of their way to hate on him and his fighters.

                Al Haymon fighters get overpaid to fight bums and he never has guys in his stable fighting one another. Case in point- Berto was getting 1 mil+ paydays to fight the likes of Freddy Hernandez when he could've (and still could) fight Paul Williams. Bob gets ripped for doing what GBP does- putting his fighters in against eachother, meanwhile Haymon never does in-house fights.

                  That's exactly what it is. Boxing fans are terrible man. For example everybody was on mares d1ck and saying how he was going to knock Joe Agb. Out and sone as the fight was over they were saying mares is garbage and he is a bum. It's like come on man don't anyone have a mind of their own.

                    Can't hate on any man that is taking care of his fighters. If I was fighting I'd want Hamon taking care of me.
