        Arum is the scape goat, Haymon is the real power guy here, his fighters get paid well and have no fanbase like Andre Berto, and remember P will getting that gift decision over Lara? That guy is more dangerous than Arum, he is sneaky everyone can point on Arum cause he is an EASY target for gullible people but when you look deeper the real guy is Haymon.

        He carefully manages his fighters careers and never put them against each other.

          Haymon manages Floyd, so to his fans he can do no wrong.

              Its funny Iole says in no particular order but he actually puts one of the most powerful guys on the number 1 spot. Al Haymon this guy is worse than Arum, he uses Arum as a scapegoat cause Arum is visible, while he hides, the guy is smart to never show his face so people don't focus on him,

              Kevin Iole hates Oscar De La Hoya and always answers back to Oscar on twitter rudely anytime Oscar tries to be positive or friendly to Iole.

              Thats why Iole has Oscar so low at 13 on the list lol.

              I think Kevin Iole is actually more of a snob than Dan Rafael.
              Which is why all the young fighters want to work with haymon and not arum right?

                  That doesn't make him any less powerful than he clearly is. Look at what he's done.

                  50 is flexing his power in boxing right now, you're all witnesses.

                    my thoughts exactly.

                    this "writer" has no idea what he's talking about.
