Is Al Haymon a manager or promoter?

Post by kbackup408 »

Normally I take everything Edward Hearn says with a pinch of salt but he raised a very good point in Boxing Socials interview regarding Al appearing to be both manager + promoter

I know he settled his dispute with Top Rank a few years ago - but I think it is important to understand what is he and why is he so fixated to only match up his fighters on his network

Anyone got any more information?

i do find it interesting how when haymon boxers get offers from promoters like matchroom , top rank, etc....they bring up haymon as if hes there current promoter and frame it as 'hearn/etc vs haymon'

seems like he does a very good job of acting like a promoter while getting around being officially classified as one

Nicely said. I think Haymon does a great job of skirting around the law without actually breaking it

Yeh. Because he owns PBC and has fighters signed up to PBC.

It’s kinda like how MTK is a management company.. and then they do shows too..
