In all of those examples, it was a division Haymon had little control over and other than the Jacobs fight, Haymon was risking nothing.
Haymon picks out divisions and tries to gain control of all of the non-WBO belts. If it's not a division he's focused on, he'll gladly allow one of his less important fighters to go make a big pay day.
The only fight you listed above where the loss harmed Haymon at all was the Jacobs fight and that fight was ordered by the WBA and it was a division Haymon had no control over because GGG had all of the non-WBO belts.
Haymon's middleweight take over is coming soon. He plans his attacks on a division years in advance.
The fights you listed create the illusion that Haymon doesn't keep things in house, but when you analyze the strategies he utilizes to control specific divisions, only having his champions defend against in house fighters whenever possible is the rule, not the exception. No different than Arum or King before him. This is how you accumulate power in boxing.
