    Pacquiao is listed as both a GBP and a Top Rank fighter. What's up with this? I must have missed something.

    I looked, and he's the only fighter I saw listed on both companies' websites.

    Pacquiao was listed in the top 10 for 147. Anything can happen.

    when pac signed deals with both companies, it was going to court. A settlement was reached between Top Rank and Golden boy. Basically, when Pac fights a Golden Boy fighter, Golden Boy gets 50% of the promotion. When Pac fights a non-Golden boy fighter, Top Rank keeps 100%.

    Strange. How come he was allowed to sign deals with both in the first place though?

    Alright. Thanks, man. I guess that clears things up a bit. I do remember something about them going to court on this.
