Of course the threat is there. Same reason PBC doesn't sign a contract with Showtime. But Haymon is only able to get all of these major en****** to do business because he has such a long track record of keeping his word.
Haymon doesn't "rent" Dibella's license anymore than he "rents" Mayweather's license. Dibella promotes the event. Haymon just has the leverage to limit how much Dibella can profit, to maximize how much Haymon's clients can profit.
Dibella's skin in the game is that if he doesn't do well, he won't reach the negotiated cap for what he can earn and he won't earn future business. Just because Haymon has changed the business model doesn't change the fact that Dibella is the promoter.
