The one who gets a better offer from another promoter/manager after they get sick of being stalled in their career.

Broner doesn't take Haymon that seriously. Thurman would be a best choice to leave Haymon, because he has all to win by leaving Haymon.
Re: Who's gonna leave Al Haymon first?
Ionut Dan Ion will leave Haymon as soon as he makes impact with a free electron, take that to the bank.
Re: Who's gonna leave Al Haymon first?
Haymon appears less of a choosey promoter and more of some old hoarder of stray cats reading that list. Seth Mitchell, Audley Harrison ??? For all of the high exposure he is said to provide he must have B.J Flores in witness protection because I haven't seen him in the ring in years it seems.

Flores seems to like commentating these days. He's with NBC. He wasn't that much to begin with and was already showing signs of brain damage if you ask me.

One he started comparing Eddie Chambers to Whitaker I was convinced of it.

Flores has fought 3 times this year.
Re: Who's gonna leave Al Haymon first?
Hopefully its the Charlo brothers. Once again being screwed out of a signed title shot because "Booboo" Andrade has financial disagreements :p
Re: Who's gonna leave Al Haymon first?
From what I've read, Haymon has his fighters wrapped up tight in contracts that make it hard or impossible to simply get up and leave.

Glad Andrade didn't sign with Haymon. Or else he would not have been with a title today. They didn't think he would be a good enough prospect, so Haymon passed on him apparently.
I think history will prove Haymon wrong and fight fans very lucky.
I was not up on Andrade. Thought he swept into a title too soon. But I am minded to watch him more, because he wanted Koborov for the WBP MW title and he wants the Charlo fight- but we have to talk about money, man.
:cool:
Re: Who's gonna leave Al Haymon first?
Haymon has far more fighters than he has dates. He has a contract with NBC starting next year but with only three or four guaranteed fights on NBC, the rest on NBC Sports. He can probably still sell some fights to Showtime but HBO don't want to know him. Even with the NBC and Showtime dates there's nowhere near enough dates to keep all his fighters fighting.
He's supposed to be setting up some kind of subscription channel, an American version of Box Nation. If that flops he's going to have an endless list of unhappy fighters that he can't get fights for. He'll probably just dump most of them in one go if that happens. So probably the best bet here is "the majority of that list at the same time".

I think most people would agree that Haymon is good for his fighters and not as good for the fans. With that said, let's wait to see how the next year unravels. He's got a number of shows on NBC and allegedly a $50mm investment from a hedge fund. If the shows do well on NBC, it'll be great for the sport.
