I think a bunch of folks in this thread are missing a huge point about Haymon.
Whether you like him or hate him, you can't deny his success.
And, you need to understand WHY he is so successful before you can competently discuss anything else concerning him.
Haymon isn't successful because he dupes fighters or tricks fighters or svengalis them.
Haymon is successful because, unlike a whole lot of folks in boxing, he is actually able to project a concern for fighters above and beyond their ability as earning commodities.
Whether it is genuine or just part of his lure, Haymon takes care of boxers beyond what happens in and around the ring.
When you get a chance, listen to what the boxers say about him. It's pretty much the same story.
Haymon sets these guys up for life, especially life after boxing. He helps them invest their money and budget it wisely. Look at Paul Williams. Never had the mega-fight. AND incurred helluva lot of medical bills. Yet, dude is fine financially.
Fighters talk. Fighters know what happened to Paul and who helped make his life after boxing comfortable instead of impoverished.
Anyone trying to break up what Haymon has built needs to understand that part before anything else.
