OFFICIAL NSB Al Haymon managed fighters thread. Discuss & Debate!

[Citizen Koba]

Haymon serves some fighters as an advisor. For instance, Maidana has his own manager Sebastian Contursi yet he's also represented by Haymon as an advisor. I think the Peterson bros have the same setup too

Yeah - the advisor role is another aspect of it - clearly he's doing something but legally an 'advisor' has no responsibilities and cannot be held accountable - he's just some guy giving 'advice' after all. despite his clearly deep and influencial role within the business.

I'm not even saying Haymon is doing anything wrong or illegal, and perhaps it's just personal bias (I do have a prejudice against the rich and powerful, especially when the mechanism of control remains opaque). but I just find his role troublesome...when he was just 'advising' 5 or 10 fighters it was one thing, but his 'clients' now include a wide selection of titleholders, prospects, and the guys that the latter would have to go through to meet the former.

In short, Haymon is rapidly gaining the power to either make you a champion, keep you a champion or deny you the fights required for you to become a champion.

How he chooses to use this power is of course yet to be seen, but I find it hard to believe his interest is in anything other than profit - even if (and it may not, for all my scepticism) that comes at the expense of the sport as a whole and even fewer of the fights we want to see made as fans.

I don't think what Haymon is doing is illegal or immoral.


Thanks to Haymon, these fighter are DESTINED TO BE....

He also got Omar Figueroa the guy that fought on last nights undercard.

He seems to have a grasp on most of the young talent in the sport.

Hes all hype ....he aint got no defense, no boxing skill what so ever. And hasnt fought a single person ive heard of to warrant a title

He won his last fight but it's how he won it that cause for concern.

haymon fighters make more money for themselves but in the long term end up being money holes for promotional companies and telecasters. thats why hbo stop dealing with haymon fighters theres no money to be made there. ratings speak for themselves.

Not really...some fighter don't have manager at all.

Example -

the Ghost has a manager and uses Haymon as a advisor.
