Was reminded again of how important the Haymon clan find it to have him thanked at the end of each fight.
Sam Watson, right before the Wilder post fight interview, seemingly said to Wilder that he should remember to thank Al Haymon, and Wilder replied, "You already know, baby."
For someone who seems to shy away from the limelight, it seems that Haymon is dying to have his name out there as much as possible. He has a very large stable and a firm grip on boxing it seems, so I wonder why this is such an important thing. Is it to draw more boxers to him or to bring him more attention for other reasons?
I mean obviously the publicity is great for business, but seems a bit out of character from what we know of him and also it seems to be a HUGE deal (even more so than other promoters/managers) as we saw when Fonfara forgot to thank Al Haymon after defeating Chavez Jr. and Watson desperately tried to remind him to do so (pure comedy!).
Also...I wonder if there is any punishment if a fighter forgets to thank Al Haymon! Any thoughts on this subject?
