    He doesn't technically promote fighters, but he makes promotional and managerial decisions for his fighters and that's the problem.

    The Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act, separates those two functions, but he is clearly involved in both.

    We need an outside influence in boxing, not more Don Kings and Bob Arums. That is what is wrong with boxing. Al Haymon is just another one of those guys who doesn't have boxings best interest in mind, just wanting to line his pockets.

      What Haymon does is what Cameron Duncan does but on a much larger scale. Similar to TR and GB compared to Gary Shaw and Lou Dibella.

        4 wrongs don't make it right, also, DLH doesn't do Sheaffers job and vice versa.

          With all due respect, you don't know what you are talking about. Al Haymon is HORRIBLE for boxing because he violated the law that was passed a few years ago where promoters cannot be managers, and he still does that.

          That is a direct conflict of interest and he does NOT look after his fighters. If you are winning sure, but he will bleed you dry once you start losing.

          Monopolies are not good for ANY business and he's no different. He makes tons of money and gets his fighters the big fights, but he is in direct violation of the law that should separate him from being both a manger and promoter.

          We need a boxing Czar to come in from the govt and regulate this type of stuff. Because they just push who they want to push and dominate the sport fooling fans into thinking things that aren't true.


          i have notice that almost everybody who is close to him gets easy fights too.
