    It's going to be a joint venture.
    Haven't you ever wondered WHY Floyd even needed Golden Boy??
    It's because Mayweather Promotions wasn't a real Promtional company.

    Now that 50 has his own ****, Look for them to become or try to...
    Be the new Shaffer & De La Hoya.

    It's means Floyd will fight on.
    Under this umbrella, that's my theory, makes the most sense.

    :think thanks for the article. So I guess if anything, they'll probably be partners or something

    Brilliant, and then he get get all of his cubans, rent the staples center, and have all of his Cuban fighters on one massive card. They can call it, "Havana Latin night warriors".

    Awesome idea, they would only sell 49 tickets because not even cubans want to watch cubans fight, but still.

    That's what I'm thinking.
    Makes good business sense.

    Mayweather can fight kinda like Oscar did & collect the larger piece of the pie & put it into the business. Smart move if that is what will happen.

    In a couple years by the time Floyd is ready to leave the sport they could have signed some fighters along the way... But until then Floyd can be their flagship.

    Genius? No.....but he consistently produces tens of $millions year after year through his other businesses that are less commercial. He's proven.....

    Damn, 50 actually has got close to "Oscar money" to really take some risks, and jump up in the game.

    If he's willing to take a lot of risks, and potentially lose tens of millions of dollars, he could really build something up.

    I'm guessing Mayweather and him will merge, or form a partnership or sorts.

    Both their money combined, they could really get serious. I didn't take Mayweather too serious, cause while he's paid, he ain't paid enough to really take the risks necessary to become a player. With 50 on board, and his bank accounts, **** just got real.

    Gamboa is not ****ed. With Mayweather and 50 cent kinda money they have alot of power. This is good. And Gamboa will have no problem fighting GBP fighters cuz Mayweather is cool with Oscar and GBP

    Alot of haters in this thread as expected. 50 Cent is a top notch entrepreneur who has one of the best work ethics and business brains around. He has media companies, sports drinks, record labels he really know s what he's doing. Now the boxing world is going to be something completely different but with Mayweathers knowledge and power I think this could become a powerhouse in promotions within 5-10 years if they stick with it. Theyll certainly help Gamboas and Dirrell scareers
