    Once that happens a new Al Haymon will show up and become a better opportunity to make money.

    It doesn't mean Haymon is a "scum bag" or he's black mailing the fighters he works with. **** if I was a fighter I would love to be working with Haymon look how much money some fighters are being payed for **** fights.

        Hey man it happens in business you said it yourself.

        The point is that no one is complaining about Haymon's job yet.

          Al Haymon gets Berto prime time slots and million dollar paydays. Seems like a obvious choice to me.

            look at wasted career of Russel is solely Haymon.
            which is why you can't compare the 2, you idiot.

              NO comparison between the two ... As already stated, one is a Manager and the other is a Promoter.

              In this case, the Manager is put in place to ensure the Promoter doesn't screw over the Boxer contractually. Haymon is on his clients side and he works for them, that's why his clients take home more of the accumulated revenue. Because he prevents the Promoter from hogging all the profits and keeping it within the promotional company.

              In the case of Arum, he is acting as both Promoter and Manager for his contracted fighters. And IMHO he is robbing them blind. I wished Pac had the intestinal fortitude to leave Arum, because he is the one being screwed over the most.

              Finally: Boxer's that have Haymon as management will tell you straight up that Haymon's got their back and that's why so many are starting to flock to him.

              Arum is just a lighter tanned Don King.

                A lot of people speak of Haymon in a neutral/positive way, he seems okay if you listen to people talk about him...

                A lot of people speak of Arum in a negative way, he seems a bad guy if you listen to people talk about him...

                Thats the comparison I think of off the top of my head. Haymon doesn't get the bad press/feelings towards him that Arum does. People either don't know much about Haymon or don't have much bad to say about him whereas it is common knowledge that Arum is a snake, let's just leave it at that.

                    Al Haymon gives out 'cheeseburgers' to get fighters to sign.
