Haymon for the most part has done great for his clients or he wouldn't continue to sign new fighters and he wouldn't make his fighters a lot of money. There is no disputing that. Whether he is great for the fans remains to be seen.
On that note, there is some dispute as to whether he makes good fights regularly too. Where 2013 was a banner year for Showtime boxing, 2014 has been horrible. This is when Haymon has the largest crop of American fighters that can only fight on Showtime because they aren't welcome on HBO. Why haven't we seen better fights?
Remember also he has veto power on his fighter's fights. So, even if Kid Chocolate decided he wanted to fight Korobov, Haymon can veto it. How many times has that happened?
