Is That Why Fans Had to Endure Canelo vs. Khan, Smith and Chavez Jr. PRIOR to Finally Getting Canelo vs. Triple G???... & REED's Saying That as an Unapologetic FAN of Canelo, w/an Unwarranted Rep of Being a GGG HATER... Ultimately, ALL Promoters are in it for SELF Doub, But REED Finds Haymon's Approach Refreshing Because: 1. Haymon Pimped the "Managerial" Loophole, Knowing the Ali Reform Act Restricted the LENGTH of Promotional Contracts... 2. Haymon's NEVER Bullshitted the Boxing Public Or Blatantly Contradicted Himself in Terms of His Plans OR Making 'Fan Friendly' Fights....Giving ZERO Interviews Has Only ADDED to Al Haymon's Mystique...NO ONE Can Use or Twist His Words AGAINST Him... In the Case of Haymon, LESS Really Is MORE... 3. Haymon TRULY Allows his Fighters to Forge Their OWN Path...If a Fighter Wants Be GREAT, Haymon Will Do What's Needed to @ Least PRESENT Opportunities as Such To That Fighter...Or, if They Wanna "Keith Thurman" Their Way Thru the Game, Haymon's Still Cool...He's NOT a Boxing Guy, He's a BUSINESS Guy... The FACT Haymon Coexisted w/the BUFFOONERY of "Money May", Recognized Floyd's INSECURITIES and Allowed Floyd to PRESENT Himself as his Own Boss (Even as Al "Advised" Floyd EVERY Step of the Way) Speaks to Haymon's SAVVY as a Businessman... REED
Floyd and Pac WEREN'T "Stars" Either, Until They BECAME "Stars"... Trinidad, Vargas and Hamed had to BECOME Stars as Well... REED
