You need a quick crash course on how to post images, otherwise I'd say you just posted a pic of the Invisible Man, :lol:

Maybe you were trying to post a pic of this guy (Sam Watson):

He is a business partner of Al Haymon and he switched over from the music industry when Haymon did, their first boxer was Vernon Forrest and the two twins you normally see in the ring with them are Sam's sons.

ON a more serious note, here's an article that sums up Watson's relationship with Haymon:

The most frequently asked question a boxing writer receives, aside from whether Floyd Mayweather Jr. will ever fight Manny Pacquiao, is "Who are those guys?

If you're a boxing fan, you know the faces of Sam Watson, 58, and his sons, Brandon, 31, and Marcus, 28, even if you don't know their names or exactly what it is they do.

Boxing publicist John Beyrooty, a one-time sports writer at the now-defunct Los Angeles Herald Examiner, calls them each '99'. It might seem an odd name, but as Beyrooty said, "When they're in a fighter's corner, he wins 99 percent of the time."
The Watsons work for high-powered boxing adviser Al Haymon, a long-time friend of Sam Watson's. They are tasked with making life easier for Haymon's fighters, and tend to their every need, during camp and during fight week
