Thank you for keeping it real, whitelightning. There are VERY valid reasons for being skeptical and su****ious of Haymon. He acts entirely in the shadows and doesn't have the decency to face the boxing fans and explain his plan. You think he didn't explain it to the backroom money men who are backing him? You bet he did.

But looking at things from a fan's perspective, I don't trust him.

All claims by his lackeys that people don't like him "because he's black" is race-baiting and an attempt to distract from the real issues. Haymon received a lot of criticism before people even had a clue that he was black. If that's what he is. I couldn't pick the guy out of a police lineup and I suspect most other boxing fans couldn't, either.

LOL. Who do you think you are? You're nobody dude. What reason do you have to "trust" him? He doesn't know you exist. Your role in this game is to STFU and enjoy the free fights.

did anyone else see how dirty al haymon did delahoya, basically stealing his whole stable from a fellow partner, and cats here are gonna act like al haymon is doing it out the goodness of his heart and for the betterment of boxing, cmon. Hes basically the dirtiest shadiest dude you can find. And i dont like his matchmaking, its got nothing to do with race, if you want to make it a race issue, then how do you like how haymon and mayweather exploit black culture and **** on it to make money. guys like haymon and mayweather play up every negative black stereotype you can think of.

Nope, just a fan who wants to see the best fight the best

Now, now, no need to feel threatened. That role is still reserved for you, and I've no interest in competing with you for it. Btw, cong**** on the recent Supreme Court ruling.

I love all these new handles that pop up in every Haymon oriented thread to defend the guy as if he was their secret lover. Guess what? You only make him seem more sleazy than he really is. If that is even possible.

And for the other idiots out there... I don't care about Mayweather and his connection to Haymon. Makes no difference to me. The best thing for boxing will the be day Mayweather and Pac both retire from the sport. The next best thing for boxing will be the day Haymon is charged with violating federal anti-trust laws and is removed from boxing permanently.

De la Hoya got the greatest deal in the history of sports business.

Spend years doing drugs, do nothing to improve his business and gets his talent bought off him for 8 figures ONLY after turning down a bigger offer to sell his entire company.

How anyone can feel sorry for him is mind boggling.

They say Haymon pays to fighters more than others. He really does. They say he brings boxing back to free TV. Yes he does.
But why does Haymon do it? Is it because he is just a good man or an altruist? Come on! He does it just to destruct his rivals and get the major marketshare. As soon as he does it (if ever) he will do the same thing as his rivals like De La Hoya or Arum do. He is as sleezy as these "decent" guys who are concerned with nothing but their own wallets. It's just the money, nothing else.
Unfortunately, boxing (like almost everything in the world) is based on competition among such hideous hardheads. But if one of them finally wins then boxing will turn into something horrible. I hope this will never happen.
