    Actually I knew it, but it didn't go quite like that. My version had GBP getting a share by Pac being an idiot and signing an illegal contract with them. Not as part of the Pac DLH fight deal. I'm not checking on this tangent now, fnf pretty good

    the co-promotion ended after the clottey fight and gbp gets the percentage from the promotional fee and percentage of TR's profit...not from pac's purse or his profit share.

    gbp later sued claiming they were shortchanged by bob/tr. gbp claimed tr was under reporting their ppv buys and ad sales.

    That's pretty much it. GBP getting money off Pac fights had nothing to do with the fight.

    Had nothing to do with oscar being a snake, was a result of pac being stupid signing with them while with TR.

    In my opinion, you should just move up unless you want to test the waters first before making the big move. On the other hand, 2 fighters are competing in a certain weight class, say 147, make a perfect weigh-in at the limit, then turn up the next day weighing 2 divisions higher... I personally dislike this being allowed - might as well go for a super middleweight title instead in this case.

    He probably knows, he was hoping I'd take his word for it. Probably counting on this quality FNF bout for distraction.

    I expected. You'd think someone who acts so smug about the knowledge of others would know better then to try this ****. Very few genuine posters anymore. Main reason I dont post much.

    Going to dinner and giving him a big brief case full of cash isn't being snakeish?

    Actually he wasn't. It's one of the main reasons he wanted to fight Pac. Same with Hopkins. Did I say it was a part of the contract? no, he clearly used the fight to get closer to him and to sign with him.

    Like I said, same with the Hopkins bout.

    You know what's snakish? You trying to slink away when caught red handed.
