I really can't believe people say "Floyd was his own boss." Was he really? Or was he a pawn that got used in order to build up a company for Haymon. That's not to say he didn't get rewarded immensely for it but to think that Haymon managed Floyd's businesses and career for free is laughable. Every fighter that signed with Haymon only did so because of what he did for Floyd. Who was going to invest nearly half a billion in a risky business like boxing wihtout a proven track record. Floyd's situation turned what it turned into out Haymon's necessity, not because Floyd is a great businessman. People need to really give Haymon his due, he got paid his percentage from Floyd while using him to build up his own company at the same time. Floyd would've been more than happy to license out his fights to the likes of GBP til the end.
