    Consider:

    Punctuation
    noun

    The marks such as period, comma and parenthesis, used in writing to separate sentences and their elements and to clarify meaning.

    I don't personally care about Al and his gang, for me the most important news is that a number of TR-GBP co-promoted cards with great potential matchups can now be made, some fighters might go with Al if he ever decides to create a promotional company, but as of now that seems unlikely in the near future

    Haymon most likely takes many of his guys to DiBella, Goossen-Tutor, and Shaw for the time being. He's worked with them in the past and those guys don't exactly have any reason to turn him down since it's not as if they're otherwise getting lots of TV dates.

    oscar is not a business man. oscar has a bad habit of putting his foot in his mouth. he needs to find a good replacement for schaeffer. that's not going to be easy.

    FYI, Haymon and Mayweather have been leeching off GBP ala Schaeffer for years. It's technically not hard to apply for a promotional license. However it's very hard to run an event, and manage every aspect, which is what is expected of you by the state that licensed you. Big Al and company would have to actually get off their asses and work. The guy that likes to hide behind the shadows, the self purported puppet master... yea ugh I don't see him coming to the front and creating a large machine to run a full scale PPV anytime soon.

    Whatever happens, Mayweather is gonna be alright and so will GBP. This might crack the door for TR, GBP, and Haymon fighters to collide. I think if that happens, GBP and Haymon fighters will wind up with all the belts and the destruction of TR will be in full effect. Just speculating.

    GBP is not in as dire a situation as some might think. Oscar actually has some pretty smart people around him who can help him find a suitable replacement and run the company as long as he is sober enough to listen.

    As far as Haymon fighters... well, Haymon obviously likes dealing with Schaefer. However.... a repaired GBP/TR relation means a PAC fight is a possibility. Floyd is no longer the only payday available... that will make a lot of fighters think twice about bailing.

    Haymon is ten times smarter than fiddy and he already has the fighters and foundation. It wouldn't be that hard for him but I think that him and Mayweather is still cool with using GBP for that.

    Why not....TBE bottom line still stay the same. Mayweather Promotion is just an LLC, he need a promoter so anyone will do.

    Dibella and Goosen have Haymon fighters, business as usual

    I do think Oscar better hope Hershman is just as amenable to a reconciliation because I have a hunch Golden Boy is going to have a hard time getting back on Showtime.

    But DiBella, Goosen and the rest of the promoters work dates with HBO. Didn't HBO "banned" or blame Haymond for this cold war of the TV companies?

    And staying on Showtime I doubt it too. Showtime made a deal with GBP not Haymond.

    Those guys have been getting scraps at best in terms of HBO dates since Hershman took over; it's not like they'd be missing a lot of opportunities if they resume working with Haymon and get Showtime fights. HBO only explicitly mentioned Golden Boy but has had non-GBP Haymon fighters on the network in the interim. And there's no formal agreement between Showtime and Golden Boy and Espinoza has made it clear he's with Haymon/Schaefer more so than Oscar.

    And when exactly will that happen? And where are their fights going to be televised?
