    WHERE is GOLDENBOY PROMOTIONS in the May V Pac promotion, especially since GBP is part of the reason Mayweather has truckloads of money. Funny way to show thanks by cutting them out of the biggest fight in boxing history. Huh.

    Floyd hasn't worked with GBP since they parted ways with Schaefer

    Mayweather-Maidana II (and maybe even I (can't remember)) was promoted solely by Mayweather Promotions

    Oscar ditched Schaefer who in turn was the reason Mayweather hooked up with them in a co-promotional fashion. Once Schaefer left, so did a lot of GBP fighters, to Al Haymon.

    Golden boy getting short handed in the biggest fight that can be made. You know Oscar has to be bitter as heck.

    It's quite sad because, like him or loathe him, Oscar was INSTRUMENTAL in Floyd's success, financially and in regards to exposure and an increased celebrity profile.

    And he was INSTRUMENTAL in causing GBP to get left out in the cold while the biggest money-making fight in history is taking place. You wanna start pointing fingers, the first place you should look is at the golden boy himself.

    Exactly. Oscar was off snorting coke and getting dressed up in women's clothing.

    Oscar is securing the future of boxing ...See what some people don't understand is that his company will be a major force once theses two retire

    Oscar was an idiot - he spent most of his time spouting off at Floyd. Of course he was going to be cut off sooner or later.

    GBP going out just like Don King Promotions

    For years GBP promote all of Floyd's fights. Mayweather promotions didn't even have a license promote fights. It was more a vehicle for floyd to get paid through.

    And you think they did that out of respect or loyalty? F0ck no! They took their cut... a large cut.

    This is business. GBP has no contractual affiliation with anyone involved. Neither does Don King, Gary Shaw, name your promoter. None of them are getting any Thank You cut of the pie.
