Another promoter who will build his own empire and not make the best fight out there because he will not work with other promoters. Great.![]()

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Thank you M! That was exactly my point earlier. Lost in all the debate about fighter X and fighter Y and who is promoting who.... is the bigger picture. Who the hell needs another big dog in the yard fighting over the same bone?? Boxing loses in the overall scheme of things.
Not sure where this idea Haymon won't work with some promoters comes from but it isn't based in truth. Haymon doesn't like matching his guys up so he has to work with promoters. Matching his guys is a last resort or he does it in an everybody wins scenario. Promoters refusing to work with him isn't his fault. Just because they are stuck with mob taught methods and he's bringing new revenue streams he can offer fighters better deals. The old guard uses the "you don't have a choice method" and Al uses the "this is their deal, this is what I can offer you" method. Promoters don't want to offer a fair deal or think of new ways to generate money so they don't like Al. But they hurt themselves if they freeze him out.
I'm rather certain Al is just as evil as anyone else making money in the sport but his fighters get a larger percentage of the money they earn. Sometimes Al doesn't even take a cut. That's better than the rest.
I don't even see why Al has to be evil.
Fighters of all races are lined-up around the block to sign with him.
Haymon believes in taking a small amount from a lot of fighters as opposed to raping the shit out of a few.
He looks out for his guys...even if you lose,he still gets you good fights.
Look at Trout.
So seems like that genius cylone posted three posts in a row but I luckily don't have to read em since he's blocked but let me guess it was something like
"racist racist against the black man if haymon was white you all would be kissing his ass and saying how great he is, oh and GGG sucks, garry russell would move up and whip his ass"
Promoters are all the same, remember when GBP came on the scene a few years ago and was going to fix what's wrong with boxing...Haymon must have some extreme business savvy to go from being a sucessful dude in the music world to basically having half the top fighters in his corner...I have to agree with Rant lately he's not making the big ones, nor has he really been known for it hell berto was headlining cards on hbo against volunteer firefighters and kindergarten teachers...
