        Max Kellerman also called out Al Haymon, not like Pauli but said that Haymon hand picks his fighters careers. I can't criticize Haymon for doing so, because almost every champion or contender in a way or another has been protected to a certain point.

        The problem starts when a fighter becomes a champion and keeps fighting bogus contenders without facing a top contender or unifying. The other problem is when a boxer is hyped as a superstar without facing tough opposition, due to the fact that the fighter has either unified or jump weight classes winning multiple titles against paper champions.

        Now, Haymon will start to become a problem to the sport, when lets say a fighter like Broner, who is destined to become the "new face of boxing" according to the hype surrounding him, won't be put to a real threat in a couple of years.

        So lets sit back and see how Haymon will manage the 140-147 situation he now has.

                Both are bad for the sport of boxing, but Al Haymon seems to be the sneakier and more shady of the two.

                  Arum is the scape goat, its easy to point fingers at him cause he is out in the open and doesn't hide his dirt, but guys who hide are always suspect, its the ones you don't see and pull strings that you have to consider.

                  Plus the flowmos take anything Floyd says and runs with it, Floyd hates Arum, they hate arum, Floyd likes 50 cent they like 50 cent, 50 cent exposed Floyd and Haymon and 50 cent becomes the enemy.

                    Haymon has been monopolizing fighters behind the scenes only for the advantage of his wealth and not the legacy of the fighter itself. Unfortunately, too many fighters followed suit with this same mentality and put business before legacy.

                    Hence, why we have Floyd and a new generation of fighters coming up with the mindset that only being undefeated defines greatness and that the path to greatness is only through the means of least resistance.

                    Now Bob, being no saint either for the most part has given boxing legendary fights promoting legendary fighters only to set the stage for legends to fight each other. The list legends/legendary fights he promoted would be countless but we still owe him a great deal of respect for giving fans what they wanted...

                      Haymon is bad for boxing. He runs the sport like he runs the concerts he promotes. Its all about getting people in the door. If they are dissapointed with the end product who cares, they already paid their money at that point. He's all about the pre fight hype, the promotion.
                      At least with that 117-111 card last night we know which judge was in his pocket. Broner won that fight but that was no shut out or even close to it...
