Is going with al haymon career suicide?

Each boxer is different, I could see certain advantages to going with either Haymon or Arum depending on the fighter in question. Those are the clear top 2, but even then for Canelo it has worked for him being GBP's cash cow, they've helped him earn a lot of money while not having to facing the best in recent fights.
Also things change that are beyond a promoter's control. If HBO suddenly had a bigger budget it might make sense for a couple of Haymon guys to leave but right now that isn't the case. Some PBC guys could've been more active in the past 12-18 months but career suicide isn't how I'd put it, it's been the same story with some of Arum's guys.Comment

If you had the chance to pick up the rights to a single fighter, would you rather have the contract for Gennady Golovkin or would you rather have the contract for Deontay Wilder?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?
Golovkin's been pushed like heck on HBO, but you can't tell me that you wouldn't take having the possible undisputed heavyweight champion under contract.Comment

Haymon is bringing his guys along, and fair lists will have his fighters on their in due time; Mikey Garcia, the Thurman-Garcia winner (both should be on/on the cusp of such a list imo), Stevenson, Jermall Charlo, the winner of Frampton/Santa Cruz III, etc should all be in consideration, tbh.The most telling thing is I don't think any PBC fighters are on any P4P lists. Maybe if they fought more often and better fighters, they'd make the list and and build hall of fame credentials.
What fighter now at PBC you think has hall of fame credentials based on fights they've had under the PBC banner?
The bias against PBC can't stand forever.Comment
