      Depends on the fighter's objective. Seems many of them relish making huge amounts of money and having lots of holidays. I don't see a lot of them complaining.

        That fight didn't do a mil. Maybe combining the afternoon and evening broadcast.

                Errol Spence was seen by more people than any boxer in like a decade in the US I think. Wilder vs Joshua could be one of the biggest fights in the sport in late 2017 or 2018. The Thurman vs Garcia winner is likely deciding who's the man at 147 once Manny retires. Tank Davis just came outta nowhere to win a belt at 21 years old. Travis Kaufman has surpassed Chris Arreola as the best fighter with *******. Chavez Jr just got the biggest fight of his life. Amir Khan got the biggest fight of his life. Dominic Wade got the biggest fight of his life. Doesn't seem like career suicide to me.

                  Haymon has all of the fighters. If I was a fighter, I would sign with whoever has the most fighters at or around my weight class.

                  Everyone wont become a star. Just do it for the legacy and the paychecks. And these fighters are decently paid, so just focus on building a great resume.

                    The only stars in boxing are Mayweather, Pacquiao, and Canelo. GGG is more known than Haymon fighters. I wouldn't necessarily say Gonzalez, Ward, and Crawford are more known than Thurman, Garcia, and Porter. If it weren't for Haymon we wouldn't even know most of the fighters in his stable. Where would these fighters be fighting if not for Haymon?

                      If I were a pro boxer I wouldn't sign with Haymon. He advises and or manages about 300 boxers so how much of his time can he give me? If he advises other boxers I might fight then who's side is he on when making a fight between one of his other fighters and I? I would want to be managed by someone who is 100% on my side.
