    I know a lot of people have blind hate for him but he's clearly a $ maker for his fighters. In all honesty, would you choose him as your manager if you were fighting? If not, why not?

    What did that have to do with getting you $? Minus the emotions, would you want him?

    I'm a boxing fan, I don't give two fcks about managers or promoters as long as they try to make the best fights

    Why boxing fans ride Haymons **** cause he pays his fighters well I will never know

    Like many promoters / advisors before , haymon has blocked potential top match ups happening....he ain't the first he won't be the last

    They are all self serving first and foremost


    But hopefully the NBC deal will see his best fighters taking each other on, because this year has been mainly garbage

    No, I wouldn't want his scumbag ass taking a percentage of my money, I have what they call integrity, which means my emotions tend to govern my decisions I always take them into account. I wouldn't want to make someone like him any money. The door swings both ways.

    It's an illusion (That he is a money maker for his fighters)......

    The illusion is Mayweather, they see him making that money and sign with Haymon. What good is to get one single good pay day a year, because that is at the rate his fighters are fighting vs. fighting 3 times a year, building yourself up, building a PPV audience while still making good money..... ?

    I think it's an illusion, and this is why Andrade refused to sign with Haymon and stick with HBO and drop out of the Charlo fight.

    He takes a loss on Mayweather to make it appear like he makes money for fighters.

    Obviously the fighters seem to think he is valuable to their careers because damn near everyone in boxing is signing with him. You stupid, hating ****s dont know what youre talking about.

    Besides Floyd, no Haymon fighter made more than 2.5 million this year. This Haymon making money for his fighters is nonsense. Look what Bradley made this year.

    No, he makes them vacate titles and avoid big fights.

    To get fights with the guys he already has in his stable, like Broner, Floyd, Garcia. That's why Maidana, Khan and Matthysse signed with him.

    The rest are dumb thinking Haymon's going to make them the next Floyd. They fall for the image.
