Thread: The torch is being passed to Al Haymon!

Can you see it? Goosen-Tutor is pretty much moribund... Arum is at death's door and without Arum there is no Top Rank... Kushner doesn't even merit a discussion.... and Don King is just about out of the business due to his bad rep.

The mantle now rests on Haymon and Golden Boy to get fighters and make fights. The legend continues....

Haymon has been as powerful as anyone in boxing for years now, and I doubt anyone passed him(or any promoter really) the torch, it's way to cutthroat a business for that. He was a big time manager in the music business before boxing, probably quite a similar racket.

Might be better if it were dropped at his feet in a pile of straw Or not. Just a thought

You sir, respectfully, are full of shit, everything changes.
You could be right about Haymon being bad for the fans, though. Haymon is an advisor/facilitator, in other words people come to him with ideas or needs, and Haymon says do this, this and this in this order and this is my fee.
While his client is following his advice, Haymon is working behind the scene, promising this person, enriching that person and convincing another person there is money to be made if his client gets what he wants.
Does Haymon give a shit what the fans want? Probably not, he's busy giving his client what they want.
I don't know Haymon so everything I've said here is like smoke in the wind.
If we want to get rid of PEDS in boxing, see Floyd fight Manny, see better refereeing and judging then we should hire Haymon. Lol
Would we he able to follow his advice or pay his fee? His fee maybe, his advise, no, because we're fans and will watch anything as long as we can bitch about it.

Finito is correct. It appears that Haymon is good for his fighters and bad for the fans.
