No! Certainly not because I'm not from one of the big boxing countries, so I won't even be protected by the Haymon Protection Services™. I would be one of those poor dudes that gets fed to one of the US prospects on a PBC show, and even if I would beat him silly, still lose on the cards. Short run, overpaid in some early fights, long run it would be very bad for my career.
Didn't hurt: Floyd Mayweather Errol Spence Jermell Charlo Jermall Charlo Jarrett Hurd Keith Thurman Danny Garcia Shawn Porter Marcos Maidana Jermain Taylor Austin Trout Deontay Wilder Dominic Breazeale Gerald Washington James DeGale Andre Dirrell Lamont Peterson Amir Khan Gervanta Davis Robert Easter Leo Santa Cruz Abner Mares Carl Frampton and on and on. I don't think you can go a week these days on social media without seeing a photo of a smiling, retired, fat, drunk and happy Marcos Maidana on vacation with his family spending that $10 million or so he made just from the Mayweather fights. Yeah, sucks to make a million bucks a fight and only have to step in the ring a couple times a year. Haymon is the devil. A real slavemaster. That's why his fighters thank him before they thank God.
No. He is a scumbag who is trying to monopolize boxing. His pbc failed miserably though, as it ended up losing money and investors came at him angry trying to sue him. Also, don't forget that if you don't thank him after winning a fight the chips he puts into your head will explode.
If I were a fighter, I'd want someone who will get me fights. Not allow me to sit on the shelf for ages. That type of inactivity can stunt the growth of a fighter immensely. Look what happened to Andre Berto.
