    Danny Garcia ain't black. ANyone who needs good representation can go to the Harvard MBA Al Haymon regardless of colour.Danny said Al Haymon had changed his life.

    Haymon likes to take a Latino in the locker room every once in a while, too.

    The Watson boys just get along with black fighters better, and that's what it's primarily about: making Sam Watson's beaver-faced sons think they have friends.

    Many people have already stated that Haymon has several non black clients. What you have to remember about Haymon is that he started out as a concert promoter. Making the transition from hip hop concert promoter to boxing manager is not easy. I doubt many non blacks were familiar with him or trusted him to manage them. Eventually he got Vernon Forrest and then Mayweather as a client. The partnership with Mayweather gave him the ultimate credibility and name recognition. Now he's able to branch outside of just the African-American community.

    Watch your language partner. You might wanna be careful with that.
