    Misconception or Fact: Al Haymon takes better care of his African American fighters

    When compared to the other fighters in his stable?

    It is my opinion that he matches them against easier foes and gives them better TV dates (even if undeserved) against low quality opposition. He also ensures that they get the decision in a close fight, whereas he wouldn't bat an eye for a fighter like Leo Santa Cruz.

    It's true but only to a certain degree. It makes no difference

        I'm not Mexican, Leo Santa Cruz was only an example. But kudos to whoever did write that article. They can see just as clearly as I do what Al Haymon prefers. Just the fact that there are articles out there explaining this fact should tell you what it really is.

        Al Haymon doesn't care about black fighters from the UK. He only prefers his African Americans.

          Be just put Jamal James in against a Cuban Olympic medalist. The main event was a Mexican vs a Polish fighter.

          Haymon has a Georgian, Mongolian, Columbian, Kazakh, Dominican and Venezuelan on TV in 1 week.

            BTW, I am not against what he is doing.

            With Al being an educated black man, I can't dog him for wanting great things from his fellow African American fighters. But he should make sure he's being fair to all of his fighters.

              James now has a loss.

              He prefers them undefeated.

                Jamal was undefeated when he fought the Cuban.

                  Jamal James was supposed to win. Ugas lost his last 2 fights in a row and was on a 15 month layoff, . That just shows why Haymon needs to protect his Premier Black Chumps, they're terrible.
