Al Haymon is an almost mythical name.
Rarely seen, never speaks, but is one of the most powerful men in boxing. ESPN’s Dan Rafael shared this photo of Haymon while reporting on Haymon’s recent signing of Light Heavyweight champion Adonis Stevenson.
Stevenson is just the latest client which reads like a who’s who of boxing, with the crown jewel being Floyd Mayweather.

His first boxing client was the late Vernon Forrest and he has expanded his influence and power since that time.
