    As we all know, Pac signed a contract with GBP back then but changed his mind and signed with Top Rank, causing a legal shitstorm and a promotional war that still goes on today. If Pac had chosen to stay with GBP, how do you guys think his career would've panned out? Some points to consider:

    1) Would he still have fought Oscar?
    2) Would he have forayed into the welterweight division, or capped his career at Ligthweight/Junior Welterweight?
    3) Would it have been way easier to arrange a fight between him and Mayweather?
    4) Which other fighters under the Golden Boy banner would he have fought?

    Impossible to answer... The only thing I can think of is that he wouldn't have such a hard time finding opponents like he does today

    Also, assuming the Floyd fight didn't happen, Floyd would either be pushing his own promotional company, or be with Uncle Bob

    he damn near fought all the golden boy fighters when he was with top rank.

    Make no mistake, Floyds running from Pac was the exception and not the rule back then.

    If Apc had been with GBP rather than TR he'd be $68M less in debt
