      He only gives Black fighters those easy tune up fights

        Remember Broner fought Maidana too so there was no agenda.
        Haymon gives his fighters three names to choose from.

        Haymon is caught between being a manager and a promoter. Having Chavez lose was a ****** decision by a promoter but a good decision as Fonfara's manager.

        He just hurt his cash cow.

            Haymon is a terrible match maker, we should know this by now given how Danny, Stevenson, Chavez, Broner and LSC are being built. LSC won't fight anyone, Broner got match up terribly for moving up to 147. Danny lost to Herrera and would have lost had Peterson thrown the first 6 rounds.

            Whether it's him picking the fights or him going with names and letting the fighters pick them, he's doing it wrong.

              I think Haymon underestimated how bad Chavez Jr is.

                  Chavez was given choices. He thought Fonfara was not very durable and would wilt from a body attack.

                  They thought his choice was fairly safe LOL

                    He's still acting like a manager in terms of getting fighters good money even when the money is coming from him, but a good manager would've advised Chavez not to take the fight and a good promoter wouldn't have put it on either.

                    What he did makes no sense, he just dramatically reduced the value of one of his major cash cows.

                      meanwhile, Arum is laughing his as.s off to the bank...
                      Jr. was never that good in the 1st place. In the end, Haymon is in a win-win because he will still make money off Jr. because he has his father's name and now has a rematch in his back pocket for Stevenson if the Kov/Adonis fight doesnt happen.
