    It well known that Al Haymon developed a huge roster of elite fighters over the years.:deal Andre Ward has been a pro for 10 years give or take if not mistaken. Why during all that time Al Haymon and Andre never hooked up?:huh Thanks!:thumbsup

    Maybe he did, but Ward is too proud, borderline arrogant to join the crowd of Haymon a$$ lickers ?

    Thanks for you contribution!:good A lot of Ward's stable mates ended up with Haymon as a manager. Andre Dirrell was managed by Haymon and promoted by Gary Shaw. There is a few other I cant remember.:huh

    I don't know if Haymon would pay Ward 2 mil to fight Paul Smith.

    :lol:Haymon is known for handing out large purses. Aren't guys like Broner and Little Leo getting like 4-5 million a fight now?

    :nod Exactly.

    Haymon actually took a very special liking of Ward early in his career. He offered him $100 million, but Ward refused the clause to have the gender assignment and be slave to Al Haymon. Good for Ward!

    I think you mean "reached around".
