Is Mayweather his own boss?

no, but.
he works for GBP on a one fight contract.
he has a several fight deal with showtime, but the terms as they've been explained to the media are awfully ambiguous. it basically appears to be a contract for "up to" a certain amount of fights, whatever that means.
he's also under contract with haymon, and those terms are not disclosed. managers usually work for fighters, taking a percentage. haymon really isn't a manager. he's one of the most elusive men in sport.
he has a great deal of autonomy for a boxer, however. he's probably more autonomous than any fighter not named klitschkoComment

and yet this employee trumps the "boss" (Floyd) hahahaEvery successful boss or great leader through history had advisers. Point is Al Haymon advises, not give orders. Even Broner showed this when he decided to t Maidana when advised against it. Mayweather is the boss, Pac's a trained bitch. He's in debt because he don't make decisions.Comment

Listen if Al Haymon really had that much power over Mayweather then he'll be fighting on NBC underneath some other promoter on a one fight contract. Fact of the matter is since Richard Schaefer left Floyd denounced Goldenboy and empowered his promotional company to take on the tasks from then on. Al Haymon is the guy who mediate fighter between promotional company. Les Moonves talks carefully saying, he "hopes" Mayweather signs to fight Pacquiao as it'll make everyone a lot of money. If he's Mayweathers boss then how is he hoping his employee perform an action instead of just firing him?
Since Mayweather got in trough with the IRS and brought his contract out with Arum, he has not been binded by any contracts. He has advisers, no different than what every world leader has to give suggestions. Pacquiao is told what to do and have a schedule to follow by everyone in his team. Even his coach Freddie Roach supersedes him in business acumen and decision making for who he fights.Comment
