    i just means GBP runs the motha****ing show and when Arum passes away it will be a one-man show.

    These guys know how to make money. If they're smart they will get Floyd on board as more than just a contract cause he knows how to make money too

    Looks like it. That's a great sign, almost guarantees fights with Pacquiao and Mosley.

    He should promote for them even when he retires for good.

    Top Rank is a strong organization. Even after Arum is gone, they will remain formidable.

    well i know Bruce Trampler, their big time matchmaker, is somewhere north of 50. Not very old. Arum is definitely the old guard.

    Ricard Shaffer is the man ... and so is Oscar ... they will make sure that they make good money off of Mayweather and they will make sure Mayweather makes good money.

    He has the backing of a big promotional company ... they will make sure that if he fights pac that he gets the lions share.

    Pac can't avoid that fight especially if they're looking to make money ...

    Floyd has the biggest Promotional company and HBO at his side so he will be compensated for all 5 fights.

    They will make sure that he's in bigger events ... and i'm not going to stray away from a mega fight at a stadium seating atleast 60-70k ...

    I wish that they would make a big fight at Michigan Stadium.

    while I think May-Pac is a no brainer and will get done, don't underestimate Arum when you say May will get the lion's share. Sure, I think May will get no less than 50/50, but Arum has chips. He's got Cotto, he's got Valero and he's always got the option of threatening to put the next fight on in the Phillippines against a lesser opponent for huge majority share.
