Did Floyd said that he wants GBP to represent him in the PAC fight negotiations?

    ******* the role of GBP is to handle the Promotional side on behalf of Mayweather. :good

    You already agree that GBP is not involved in fight negotiations this time around.

    Maybe GBP was involved before but now no more. I think we're clear with that point from now on. :D

    PROMOTING AND NEGOTIATING ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. HAYMON, AND ELLERBE HANDLES THE CONTRACT DETAILS AND ARE ASSISTED BY SHAEFER.

    GBP DOES THE PROMOTIONAL WORK. :deal

    Why are you insisting that GBP will do the promotional work for PAC-Floyd fight? What's Top Rank's role then?

    I think TR can handle all promotional work.

    yes. in a Top Rank-Mayweather Promotions affair, GBP would just cut in floyd's share when floyd would not even fight a GBP fighter. unless floyd is contractually tied unto GBP, they are not needed and would be just a redundunt to Top Ranks task. and besides, didn't floyd and his fans claim that he can promote a fight by himself?

    ??What was Top Rank and GBP role going to be when the first negotiations happened?

    What about when Don King and Arum promoted the Mayorga and Cotto fight?

    They would promote is the answer to your question. Both Top Rank and GBP. :deal

    There's no co-promotion in this case since Floyd is NOT promoted by GBP. Floyd is his own boss.

    All promotional work can be done by TR. No need for GBP.

    Did Top Rank handle all the Promotional work when COTTO fought MAYORGA?

    Did Don King Promotions do anything with that fight? Or did both Top Rank and Don King Promotions take part in the Promotions?

    OMG, I can't believe I'll be explaining you this. :lol: Anyway...

    Cotto promoted by Top Rank and Mayorga promoted by Don King hence the TopRank-DonKing co-promotions.

    Now, Pacquiao promoted by Top Rank and Floyd has no promoter (promotes himself) so most probably Top Rank will handle all promotional work.

    GBP? nothing to do with the PAC-Floyd fight.

    Floyd has GBP to handle his promotions of his fights. Mayweather Promotions doesn't have a license to do the Promotions in Nevada. Mayweather uses GBP and will use them again just like he used them in the first negotiations.

    You *******s have created thread after thread over this and you only have an issue with this bc Arum. I have wasted enough time explaining this to your dumb, idiotic, hating ass. GBP booked the MGM on behalf of Mayweather for May 5TH. Ellerbe and Shaefer contacted Top Rank to began negotiation process and Top Rank turned them away.

    If GBP was going to be involved then please tell me why they booked the MGM for Mayweather on May 5th and why Mayweather himself said he wants Pacquiao? :deal

    It's not guaranteed that GBP will handle the promotional job of this fight since Floyd has no contract with GBP.

    It's GBP's fault they book a venue/date without having a done deal for a fight. What if another group will successfully handle the PAC-Floyd fight and be held on a date other than May 5? GBP looks foolish in this scenario.

    That bull**** isn't working.


    Yes Floyd is his own boss. But like many companies, when the work is too much, he hires someone from the outside that he TRUSTS as a contractor.


    Whether you like it or not, Bob Arum is the now the biggest obstacle in making the Floyd-Pac fight. All the spinning in the world doesn't change that fact. He has never had a problem working with other promoters (including GBP) in the past, and shouldn't have a problem working with whoever Floyd says he wants to work with (contracted or not).

    Their hate won't let them understand what you just said. They are just looking at a reason to try and put blame on Floyd if the fight doesn't happen.

    If two greedy promotion (GBP and TR) will carry this fight and the two fighters will demand a double (or even triple to quadruple) their usual 20-30M guaranteed purse.

    Then let's hypotethetically peg the fight to make around almost 3M PPV + double the usual gates. That's like a little bit double of what each pac or fmj makes already (1.3 to 1.5 PPV).

    Doing the maths, on the business side - i can't blame why either TR and GBP is trying to drop each other. It's slimming their side's share, making it the same (or near) as any other reqular fight each party is already making. The high risk , low returns logic comes into play.
