At some point in a champion's career is a manager really necessary, let alone worth 1/3 off the top ?

Wouldn't a top fighter need more managing than a lower level fighter who doesn't have the same type of offers to contemplate?

Do you know the role and duties associated to managers of fighters?

Do Al Haymon and Eddie Hearn know the difference between the roles of manager and promoter?

You're right. They just choose to ignore the differences

Yes, I know what managers do; I'm interested in the opinions of the other posters especially as to compensation rates for managers of top guys, say a Canelo or Crawford. If they are paying a third, imo that's excessive at this point in their careers.

Very much doubt anyone is paying a third 10-15 percent max

Now that's more reasonable. Years ago, it was often a 50-50 split.

According to three lawsuits, Al Haymon clearly does.
And in a terms of Hearn, there’s no evidence of him “managing” any of the fighters that compete on Matchroom’s fight cards.
