    and giving up his 5% of the company for the pacquaio fight?

    He got paid 5 mill by Arum but i personally think that in the long term he couldve made more being a partner with GBP. We see BHOP, who holds also 5% (correct me if i am wrong) and we see him at all the gbp events and press conferences etc so he forsure makes money of it.

    He probably had to take the risk to secure the Pacquiao fight otherwise it would have never happened. Surely there must be things going down under that only he knows. If being with GBP paid enough, he wouldn't have made the decision to leave for one big fight.

    Agree, especially if we consider that GBP holds the major young talent in Boxing today and has the only two possible future PPV stars in Broner and Canelo. I predict that in 10-15 years GBP will be like the UFC in MMA.

    Barrera and Marquez also left their positions. Apparently, it's not all that being a partner/managing partner.

    I mean you could make the case that GBP is hurting with their move to Showtime. In my opinion, though not much of a case they still making a **** ton of money. Mosley was stupid for giving up 5%.

    Barrera and marquez were not partners, they were just there from the begining.

    he didn't hold 5% and they treated him like ****.

    basically they tried sacrificing him to bob arums hype job margarito which backfired and they offered everyone a shot at Floyd including Marquez but not Mosley.

    they treated sugar Shane like sugar slave.

    That's a bad move I would never sacrifice something that will bring you money for the rest of your life for one big payday
