    the irony in this is that GBP has way much more history in recent times of robberies and controversial fights involving referees and judges.

    GBP blocked Shane in getting the Pac fight while with GBP.

    What I think Arum is trying to do is to keep GBP out.

    Him and investors are probly just going to give a guaranteed purse to Floyd and Pac and they will take the financial risk and reward.

    Why is it Arum's say as to who Floyd chooses to handle his promotion? And who are these "investors", and what do they bring to the table?

    Arum is trying to deflect the attention from the matter at hand here: that he does not want to make the fight.

    Meaning they will rob Pac and Floyd of the money and keep the lion's share for themselves. Arum's a snake and a crook, why should anybody do what he says? Who are these investors? What is this BS?

    why would a free agent fighter still care who the promoter is, if that fighter will get the

    cash that matches or exceeds what he thinks he will get anyway if he brings in his own promoter who will get a cut from his share????

    No, I do not believe EVERY company has unlimited resources. That's pretty dumb to even ask someone. That's called patronizing. But I have thick skin, all good. :D

    I was simply asking about Floyd's promotional company not having a promoters license. You're reply doesn't come close to addressing that. To add on to it, WHY not? Why even advertise yourself as a promoter if you cannot promote?

    So, because Floyd is a free agent, he should choose to work with (for in this case) Arum? Floyd will get guaranteed money doing things his way as well. Nobody was worried about who promoted Floyd's fights (recently) until Arum decided to make an issue of it. Isn't this why Floyd got out of TR because he didn't want to be dictated to by Arum?


    U guys are something else.

    I have no clue, but with Arum you should expect to get shortchanged.

    So if Floyd were to say that he indeed wanted to have GB on his side what would you say to that? Knowing that Arum doesn't want GB involved in the fight, Arum would most likely decline. Who would you blame then?

    :lol: Why do you think I give a **** if GBP is involved. If Floyd wants them in, that's fine. Just because I ask WHY GBP needs to be involved does not mean I am against them.
