    Just curious. I heard that Shelly Finkel has gotten tired of the current state of boxing and is hanging them up and going back to promoting music. Cameron Dunkin comes to mind. Some will say Al Haymon. Anybody else?

    Al Haymon gotta get some votes.

    Who else could have HBO dish out millions for Andre Berto? :lol:
    Not that Andre Berto is a bad fighter, but he was being paid a gross amount of money fighting nobodies.

    Yea pretty much what MrMagic said. Al Haymon gets his black fighters ass loads of money for **** fights. It's really an uncanny ability.

    Al Haymon is great. Liek Floyd said in his new interviews. Haymon looks out for his fighters more than anybody

    That's not James Prince that's his boy Big Chief. James is the one standing next to him with the white shirt and hat with waving his finger.

    If anybody knows I have a question. I heard that managerial roles in boxing have decreased substantially in recent years (the past 15 or so). They used to be in charge of the purse contracts, making the fights, etc. Now promoters have a lot of these responsibilities and have taken over a lot of the managerial roles. Anyone in the know?

    Also the Goosen brothers seems to be decent managers as well.
