    All I have read in the media are the announced split but no real content as to why. Does anyone have inside information on this?

    I think MAB was bitter about the JMM fight. I think he felt the cards were already filled out before the fight commenced.

    I don't believe that actually, but I can see how he or anyone would.

    I believe more bitter that after that JMM fight, GBP pushed a JMM-Pac fight as they had promised the winner would get......

    MAB realized right then that the time where GBP would lick his ass at his say so was coming to an end......
    It turned out that GBP licked his ass one more time before they parted ways by giving the loser of that JMM fight, first crack at Pacquiao.


    ......but I dont think there is any doubt here.......GBP did'nt do a MAB-Juarez for him against JMM, and yeah he did'nt like the feeling of not getting preferential treatment and being on an even playing field with the likes of JMM.

    It seems like just a culmination of a lot of things. The JMM decision going against him was one of the last straws I guess.

    This isn't a surprise. MAB can be quite a prickly pear if things didn't go his way.

    MAB gave up his partnership rights to GBP as well, right?

    really? thats sad to hear. He should have stayed with them and retired, his best days are well past him and that would give him income after retirement.

    Yep. He was pretty much a made man had he stayed there. Well even more made than he is now I assume.
