    The man changed the sport for the better of the fighters who deserve it

    They said u cant b a manager and and promoter because of the Muhammad ali act or w.e

    So he becomes an "adviser"

    He shows his fighters how to manage their finances and pays them what they deserve

    He allowed boxers to be promoters that dont have to be de la hoya or floyd to do so

    This guy is an amazing human being and i love and hate that hes "the ghost" he doesnt do interviews and u never see him but he deserves some spot light

    Cheers to uncle Al

    Lou duvas daughter in law was the first person in the last couple decades to bring boxing to regular TV but haymon took it to a whole nother level and PBC is the best promotion company (technically just a network) because uncle Al is no promoter lol

    When Al gives u a deal to sign theres no surprises whats on that paper is what u get

    Honest man who stands on business

    I feel eddie hearn is similar but he just smells like a conman lol but he hasn't done anything for me to believe it yet anyways

    A very intelligent man

    But he has created a awful cult in boxing that is a nasty stain on the sport

    He’s messed boxing in the US up big time. DAZN and Matchroom hopefully bringing it back to life.


    There’s a reason people like Charlo have never fought a decent fight in their life yet is on PPV.

    Al Haymon has been very good for his boxers, making sure they are well paid (in contrast to greedy creeps like Don King and Bob Arum).

    However, he has been over-protective of some boxers, and reluctant to make some of the matchups the fans want to see, and that's not good for the sport.

    PBC is neither a network or a promotional company...it's an advisory outlet that depends heavily on promoters to showcase his outlet of fighters that he advises.

    The best promoter in the world right now is Matchroom. They are the only company doing it globally successfully during a pandemic and also have deals with the two biggest A-sides in Boxing.

    With that being said, PBC is who I would sign with if I was an up and coming boxers. Haymon will make you money and show you how to invest it.

    Yes, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink.

    it's not Haymon fault Broner is Broner...Haymon has done great for all of his other fighters that follow his lead.

    With Pov vs Whyte on eddie clauses etc. It is eddie boxing for his prospects.

    Boxing is just business not sport and to entertain, yeah, eddie is not worse than don king was.
    Clauses, cherry picked opponents, nice U.K judges and refs, cool and enough predictable boxing.
    Thanks to God so boring life with eddie and his kids & clauses.
