Steve Kim on MaxBoxing made a good point with regard to Al Haymon: he's great for his fighters, not great for boxing fans.
Look at Kid Chocolate. He fought a tough fight against Rosado in October 2013. Now's he fighting an older junior middleweight when he has Curtis Stevens and Macklin calling him out.
With respect to Broner, I agree with Finito, he took a tough loss, and they should spend some time rebuilding him. Khan is too dangerous an opponent right now. As for Khan, he deserves better than Collazo if he was in the running for Mayweather and Broner. In terms of money, Collazo doesn't bring the same level to the table as other guys in their stable do.
And Stevenson? Signs with Haymon and now it appears is moving away from facing Kovalev.
It's not just Haymon though. Look at Canelo. Lara is the logical fight for him next. He beat Angulo, who Canelo is fighting now. Canelo-Angulo makes sense (maybe not on PPV though), but Lara should be next. Yet, Shaeffer is already talking about matching Lara with the Molina/Charlo winner.
That's why we need to embrace it in a way when someone goes for greatness when they don't have to. Like Loma taking on Salido in his second (or 7th) pro fight or Cotto fighting Martinez.
