Al Haymon is Different Things to Different Fighters, and REED Can’t Stress Enough the Level of FREEDOM and FLEXIBILITY His Fighter’s Have... In Most Cases, Haymon Manages/Advises Guys and Loans Them Out to Promoters on a Fight By Fight Basis...In the Case of Jacobs, He’s Promoted by Eddie Hearn... When Guys Have Jacobs’ Level of Ambition and The Top Dog of a Particular Division is an HBO or ESPN Fighter, Haymon Doesn’t Get In the Way of Them Spreading their Wings... Haymon Fighters Can Be as Ambitious or RELUCTANT to Take Risks As They Want, w/NO Pressure From Him Either Way... REED
You really think so? Surely not? I mean, we're in an era where the second most recent US president was black, and was even re-elected.
haymon was bleeding hbo for plenty of money for years. he got berto 8 figures worth of undeserved paydays
You're Conveniently OVERLOOKING the Hype Berto Turned Pro w/Neil... In HINDSIGHT Yes, Berto was Overpaid...REED Doesn't Recall All that Much Bitching and Moaning IN the Moment Though... REED
REED Isn't Sure 1 Black President Out of 40+ Means Things are Different...(Sloooooowly) CHANGING Yes, but Not Different Just Yet... Look No Fuuuuuuuurther than the Nation's RESPONSE to that 1 Black President; THE Most Divisive President the Countries EVER Had... REED's Had WHITE Guys Tell Him Obama SCARED the Shit Out of the White Power Structure to the Degree a Dude Like Trump COMFORTED Them... Boxing's on a Considerably LOWER Scale, but the SAME Rule Applies... REED
i just dont think it has anything to do with haymon being black why hbo doesnt want to deal with him unless they have to. he was getting all his guys paid from hbo when kery davis was in charge.
Clearly, it BEHOOVES HBO to Deal with Haymon Today...Their Product Has Devolved to SHIT From the Moment they Cut Ties w/Him... Why Do YOU Think They Choose Not To??? Why Does Top Rank Elect Not To???... REEDo_O
Maybe simply because they don't like him, or the fact that he demands a lot of money for his fighters? It's hard to believe it's because of the colour of his skin though, that's for sure. I haven't seen anyone shunning Don King or the myriad of elite black fighters in recent years, I mean, this aint the Jack Johnson era Don King was a pretty epic boxing promoter, one of the most successful and famous in boxing history, and just look at Tyson and Floyd, two of the biggest earners and most popular fighters in boxing history - I didn't see anyone choosing not to do business with them because they're black.
