    Hes definitely not Don King. He treats his fighters well and pays them good. For that I really admire him.

    But his whole thing of being this suedo manager suedo promoter is his problem. He's in clear violation of the Ali Act but hes found a loophole in it where he pretends to have other company's promote his events while they do nothing to promote it.

    I think Haymons things will eventually bust for him in a way. He has been signing guys left and right. I think it will eventually come to a point where he will have so many guys thats many will be left out of the picture and start to jump ship because they won't be getting any fights or won't be getting any meaningful fights. His whole PBC promotions needs to start stepping up their game and makes better fights. Because if he can't prove he can generate consistent high ratings. The big networks Nbc, CBS and Abc won't let him do straight up time buys. And if that happens that would be real trouble for him.

    But overall he has good ideas its just he needs to decide does he want to be a manager or a promoter because being both will lead him to trouble, government violation trouble. But he is not Don King.

            Awful Comparison! I don't even see the connection or the comparison at all! Al Haymon don't need boxing at all to make Money, he was making a lot of money from his Concert Promotion and he still does on top of doing a Mega Deal with Live Nation and them buying Half of his Promotional Company a few years ago so Haymon don't need to ROB FIGHTERS to make Money because he started PBC already having a lot of Money of his own and then he is not even using his own money on PBC

            Don King, all he had was boxing and he needed to make money on every event he promoted to keep his Promotion up and Running!

              Btw a g****fruit and orange are different color. You mean the only thing a g****fruit and orange have in common is that they are both citrus fruits. Lol.

                Don king came from the music industry just like Haymon he use to help promote Michael Jackson concerts with Al Sharpton.

                      No, Beyonce's Father is a Piece of **** who tried to Defraud his own Daughter by making side deals on his own so that he could cash in on his Daughter because I guess him only getting a % wasn't enough. Haymon got dragged into the mess because that is who Matthew Knowles was doing a deal with. Also think Matthew Knowles knew he was on the way out as she started letting Jay Z making more and more decisions for her career so he probably tried to do a Deal on the side that would keep him tied into her career

                      How is Haymon suppose to know that the man was trying to defraud his own daughter?
