    Haymon is a manager. He doesn't promote or build stars, but sure, he has a say in matchups.

    GBP and Haymon have matched plenty of their stars tough, and will continue to do so. A string of a moth or two of soft come back fights and people flip out. GBP is the future of the sprt whether people like it or not. Not top rank.

        Can you provide any documented evidence to support you claims, that are not derived from a personal opinion?
        Sure, look up the fight card on April 26th

          True, but the reason people point to Al being so big in boxing is his ability to build star fighters. Al Haymon is selling a product to networks. Why would they over pay for a product that clearly is not working?? Showtime is losing money like crazy and not getting anything in return.


          Showtime's fault but people need to realize Haymon is not doing anything but fleecing the boxing fan. How many more Berto's and Quillin's can boxing take?
          You are completely confusing the roles of an advisor and a promoter.

          Al Haymon, or any other advisor/manager isnt selling anything.

              So Haymon doesn't "advise" who his clients should and shouldn't fight? Nobody is that dumb.

                OP is 100% right

                Al Haymon is costing SHO money like he did on HBO with Berto

                And its clear that SHO is losing money. Alot of reporters said that the Guerrerro fight had to do 1 million just to break even and it did way less. 850k is good for a PPV but not when you guarantee a guy $40 mill (even tho he had to pay for all advertising so he ended up making about $10-15 mill)

                This is why theres no nationwide press tour for the Maidana fight even tho its on PPV (which is a joke because hes a 10-1 underdog)

                  They go with Haymon cause they know they have Cherry Pick fights and the judges in their back pocket. What do you think Haymon cut is from their purse it's not a couple of marbles
