Mayweather is right in having GBP on his side!!

Let's not forget that top rank was also the company that set things up for Juan to get robbed recently. I wouldn't trust them either

 

Seeing as how it's golden boy that booked may 5th in the first place this is clearly bs by arum

 

:deal

 

GBP is clearly has no business in the PAC-Floyd fight. Floyd is not their boxer. Floyd not legally tied up with GBP to promote his fights.

Potential investors approached Arum and Floyd directly. They never approached GBP since they knew GBP has nothing to do with this fight.

Unless Floyd specifically says he wants GBP to represent him in this fight. Did Floyd said he wants GBP to represent him? (i missed that news, link pls.).

 

Floyd isnt a gbp fighter though, so why include them and force to pay them money, floyd in combination with tr will do just fine.
Arum wants to shut out his main rival, and why do you guys care? floyd still gets to face pac, the fight still does millions with a lot of interest even without gbp.

 

This is a straight duck move being set up by Arum. He will say that Floyd turned down a deal that was out of this world and that they are moving on to Marquez.

 

that why people don't want TR to have all the power

 

What potential investors? the one's that reside exclusively in Bob Arum's imagination?

 

I don't want another TR robbery

 

Yes. Congrats, you've oncovered the mystery. Arum did ALL this, as nothing but a ploy to the media. Fake quotes, fake meetings, all of it was pretend. :roll:

 

He gets more money using GBP. Its not complicated.

 

GBP contacted Top Rank on behalf of Mayweather to begin negotiations just a week or so ago and Top Rank turned them away.


Leonard Ellerbe, one of Mayweather's advisors, and Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer both told ESPN.com Monday that they were notified that Pacquiao promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank was not interested in coming to the table.

"We have been informed that Bob Arum is not interested in pursuing a fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao at this time," Schaefer said.

"I am sick and tired of Bob Arum twisting the truth. It's another case of 'yesterday I was lying, today I'm telling the truth,' " Schaefer said, invoking Arum's most famous quote. "The truth of the matter is that we received this afternoon an email from retired federal judge Daniel Weinstein, who has informed us that Top Rank is pursuing a rematch with Marquez and, therefore, is not interested in immediate talks for a possible Mayweather-Pacquiao fight. This is obviously as clear as it can be that they have no intentions of making a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight. Therefore, Floyd Mayweather will have no other choice than to move on and identify and lock in another opponent for his ring return on May 5."

 

The fight is huge probably too big for Floyd to co-promote it himself with Mayweather promotions and considering the other half of the promotion would invole Bob Arum and Top Rank he probably needs GB as a security measure.
