Al Haymon should consider doing a sit down interview with a high profile TV figure...

    He doesn't like to be filmed and he doesn't give interviews. This is a way he's operated for years and he's been successful. I remember he did an interview in either Jet Magazine or Ebony Magazine years ago. I remember Al Haymon from back in the 80's when he would do the Budweiser Music Fest. When they would run the commercials on the radio they'd say 'brought to you by Al Haymon'. It was always the best shows and I used to think who is this Al Haymon guy. You can search google books for some of his old interviews if you're interested in finding them.

      So if he was already used to of it in the 80's why is it such a problem now in 2016 when publicity and "trending" is everything? All publicity is good publicity innit?

        Nope. He prefers to work behind the scenes. Nothing wrong with that.

          Here he is behind the scenes at the Garcia-Peterson fight


          Here he is talking to Virgil Hunter



          That's a body double.

            Do an interview? For what?

            People have already formed opinions on him without really knowing him. Through the people he is associated with, people just tend to not like.

            That and the fact that he is challenging the ever honest Bob Arum (Top Rank) and Oscar DLH (GBP) backed by HBO..... well you see what's happening.

            You've got clowns like Steve Kim who send out like 15-20 tweets everyday bashing Haymon and PBC, while praising Arum.

            What's the point?

              the fact that hymie doesn't like to give interviews and avoids the camera makes him look even more shady and su****ious like he's got something to hide doesn't matter eventually it will all come to light. IMO I think he's bad for boxing and I hope the bastard gets kicked out of boxing.

                As a fan of Haymon & this PBC concept I'd love to see a interview with Haymon about this whole thing.

                But...its not gonna kill the negativity lets be for real. Boxing fans are maybe the worst sports fans in all of sports. Certainly ATG top five worst sports fans. If you've decided PBC &/or Haymon is bad already you're probably gonna stick with that decision regardless of an interview. The only way the majority of the fans negative about PBC right now switch up is about 5 years after PBC is successful in creating a NFL of PBC (assuming they can & do) they'll be ****riding them & acting like they can do no wrong like they act like the power structures in boxing can do no wrong today.

                  The fact that he's black makes his look shady. The man has been in business for over 30 years and the boxing business for 17 years and nothing shady has come out about him. You can't be shady and operate that long without something coming out. Trying to make boxing more mainstream is so bad for the sport. Let's keep boxing on premium TV between two channels where fighters are signed to exclusive contracts and no competition. Yep, that's grown the sport so much....Next you'll say he's just like Don King when the only thing they have in common is race and birthplace.

Plus he can act charming or whatever so people will be less inclined to subject him to so much negativity. He's viewed as a mysterious criminal because that's how he carries himself. Always in the dark, hidden. People deserve the right to know the man, the FACE behind this huge PBC boxing movement.
                    When a white man shuns the spotlight he's a recluse, an eccentric. When a black man does it he's shady and has something to hide.

                      bob arum has been at it for longer and walks around in the open giving interviews to random goofballs like elie and anyone else with a microphone

                      likely haymon is just a nerd with social issues
