    When TMT first started many fans were excited because of the prospect and powerful influence not of 50 cent but what Al Haymon could bring to the table. People who understand boxing knows that Haymon is one of the most influential and well respected men period in the sport of boxing and he is not even a promotor. To hear now that TMT was trying to push Al Haymon out of the venture is pretty shocking news and in all honesty one hell of a bad decision. One thing is kicking golden boy to the curb, which is fair enough, but to try to blackball al haymon is almost career suicide for 50 cent, especially when your target market will be african american fighters. :-(

    This is great! More boxing drama surrounding Floyd, 50 and Haymon. Can't wait to see how this one shapes up. Wish I had some popcorn.

    Weird, doesn't seem like something a friend would do unless they truly thought that Haymon was bad for Floyd but I don't see how that is possible. Haymon doesn't seem like such a bad guy, he earned my respect when he went and apologised to Escobedo personally after Broner acted like a dick.

    Haymon sounds like a "Middleman" to me...
    IF Floyd & all the boxers do the "WORK" why should this office space dude get paid off their BS&T.
    ^They are already getting robbed by their promoters & then this advisor also gets a taste?

    They're not his friends, they're just leeches trying to take advantage of him. I doubt 50 Cent has ever had a friend he didn't screw over. And Tommy Summers is one of these typical creeps you only get in boxing who sees an opportunity for cash his 'talent' doesn't merit.

    I've never heard of Tommy Summers so I can't comment on him but I'd be disappointed if 50 pulled a stunt like that. Seems low as **** to do that to someone.

    How anyone can read Floydhype and take what's written on it seriously is beyond comprehension. Fact is Ben would eat the peanuts out of Floyd's **** and probably has.

    Small minded way of looking at a bigger picture. If your target audience is african american fighters who you want to promote and the manager of most of those top african american fighters is AL Haymon himself, wouldn't it make more sense having haymon play his poisition which would allow him to tell his fighters to sign with tmt? That would be the smart move. Instead 50 trying to say **** al haymon and go to war with a guy who is the biggest influence in the sport for managing african american fighters careers. :lol:

    Them cornballs at Floydhype have no shame in their game, I'm convinced Ben and Vivek literally wake up in the morning thinking about Floyd and how they can prop him up more.
