Sorry for the tough header, but it's an attention grabber. Is 50 cent naive enough to believe he can make a mega fight excluding Top Rank, Al Haymon, and Golden Boy. There's no way a fight like that happens without 2 out 3 of those big shots involved. He will soon learn about the politics in boxing. Doesn't he get that Pac is with Arum until he retires. After so The new promotional company would not have any leverage to sign fighters. It's not like Pac is business savvy , and 50 cent is major player in the sport. How will they get dates. even if Floyd was involved, without Al Haymon they would still be ****. If Pac is gonna make money in boxing after he retires it will be with Arum. Arum is Suge Knight, and Pac is 2pac, get my point. To be honest I think Pac's advisor blowing smoke up 50's ass. The man is getting ready for politics he will soon have nothing to do with boxing. I will be suprised if 50 has even been on the phone with Pac directly!
I just don't see how 50 can succeed in this cutthroat business by burning all these bridges. So far, Arum is the only one that seems to want to work with him. But with 50 coming out saying he already promotes Pac, that is sure to rub Arum the wrong way.
you're right. Pac can't fight without involving Arum. That's why the May 2nd date fell through and the 40Million dollar (no share of the revenue) fell through. Although I think Pac will make money after boxing in the Philippines doing **** that has little to do with boxing - that stuff will not involve Arum. But boxing wise, trying to make a Pac fight without involving Arum is the equivalent to not trying to make the fight at all. Floyd doesn't do anything without Haymon telling him to, and we don't know what kind of contracts GBP has with PBF
That's like saying "Floyd is AL Haymon's *****"... At the end of the day the two men who step in the ring make the final call on their business dealings and who they fight. I'm sure 50 anticipates the politics in this sport...he's not stupid...he's had his eyes and ears open being around Floyd. Don't sell .50 short. He'll surprise a lot of people and he's doin' a great job stirring up the pot. PAC doesn't need to be business savvy per say...he just needs to have the right people who are savvy working for him...PAC is a BOSS...Just like Floyd..Just like 50....they DELEGATE....some more than others. With or withou Al...50 can carve out his niche by aligning himself with other promoters, network exects...ect. AL is a key person at HBO but he's not the end all be all. He's just well known and respected. AL & DICK are SUG KNIGHT to FLOYD if that's what BOB is to PAC.:smoke
How much money are you getting from Floyd. I was told that Floyd doesn't have any friends and he buys his friends.
You're so wrong. If you don't include Arum, Al, or GB you don't get a big fight made. The Big 3 banks, the big 3 Auto makers in the US. It's just what it is no is going to reliquesh their power for somebody else to eat. You can join them, maybe a subsidiary of their company, but that's about it.
50: "Mr. Bob Arum, i mean you know the name of the game. yo ***** just chose me. now we can settle this like we got some class, or we can get into some gangsta ****" Bob: "You shade tree rapper, you aint no promoter, you a rest haven for washed up boxers. You a drug dealer, A DRUG DEALER! the police is probably on yo ass right now" 50: "i made 100 million of vitamin water, 200 million off album sales, 250 million off G-unit clothing. that's 550 mill within 5 years, now mutha****a can you buy that?" Bob: "Get her, Buboy, bring that *****(Pacquiao) over here." Lloyd Banks: *pulls out pistol on Buboy* "freeze bakla, u wanna die?" Bob: "is this the way it's gonna be?" "im gon make u wish you were never born, fiddy. come on, let's get out of this dump".
