Has Al Haymon Floyd's best interest in mind?

[Da Machine]

Haymon's money so far has been percentage on Floyd's income, but that has totally changed now when he is running his own shows where he will also receive money from many other channels, for example from commercials.

It wont change for Floyd fights.

Al Haymon might very well set up PPV fights on his own channels, or he might put Floyd on NBC and sell one minute commercials between the rounds. Al Haymon is probably planning to put his best fighters on NBC, and give his fighters percentage of the income from the commercials.

I don't think Al always has Floyd's best interest at heart. I think Al Haymon is looking out for himself at all times. Al seems to do good for his fighters also though. Al will do whatever he deems will benefit himself the most like any other rational human being. Mayweather pretty much helped to make Al Haymon what he is today in the scheme of boxing imo. Mayweather praised Haymon, Mayweather became top earner for the sport, other boxers followed Mayweather to Haymon, and now Haymon has a huge roster. Haymon might actually look out for Floyd since Floyd helped him as much if not more than Al helped Floyd.

Mayweather don't need Network TV Exposure, he is already at the very top of the sport as far as making money and being known.

Floyd would love exposure on Network TV. You can be sure that he will be exposed there.

I think Haymon use Mayweather as a Negotiation Ploy...AND WHY NOT! He helped May weather become the Highest Paid Athlete In The World, that should be his SELLING POINT to not only other fighters but Networks as well!

I don't think Floyd has gained much from Al Haymon's duck strategies. Floyd would have been greater with a better manager.

I think you are naïve if you expect Al Haymon to "help" Floyd now. The most probable is that Al Haymon will skin Floyd badly. Look at Al Haymon's track record. He has skinned almost everyone he has worked with as far as I can see. Why would his business with Floyd be different?

We see it said here all the time that Bob is keeping Manny from floyd. But who really stands to lose more here? Manny has lost several times, and is still a marketable fighter. When floyd does lose, there goes his entire marketing campaign. Since we always see Haymon keeping his fighters out of harms way, why aren't people questioning Haymon protecting Floyd? Don't come with that crap that floyd is his own boss. He's not and has even said he needs to talk to Al about his fights. If anyone is protecting their fighter, it's Al protecting floyd.

This is ****ing ****** son...Floyd aint fighting on regular tv..that is for the smaller fighters

If Floyd fights Paquaio on May 2 Floyd wont be fighting anywhere afterwards Manny will knock him out of boxing

Yes, Al Haymon wants easy fights for Floyd now, but when Floyd will be on Haymon's network next year the strategy might be different. Look for example how he protected his fighters last year when they fought on Showtime, but as soon as they are on Haymon's network now they immediately got more difficult fights.

That is because now Haymon himself has to pay them and it seems that he will now force them to difficult fights as soon as they are on Haymon's network.

I doubt it, he already did all he can do for mayweather. He focusing on his own brand etc. Mayweather was used as a leverage to milk showtime and hbo for all the possible money he could of with all his fighters so he could make his power moves now.

Yes, Al Haymon is now focusing on his own brand, PBC. He will use all his best fighters to build value in his brand. The question is why he created his own brand PBC?
One thing is that this new brand seems to be using WWE as the benchmark, but it is still too early to know for sure.

Yes, Al Haymon is known for milking and skinning his partners and the people he works with. HBO suffered, GBP suffered, and now he is unashamedly milking SHO.
