Young boxers are flocking to Mayweather Promotions because Mayweather spells MONEY and has made more than any GBP or TR boxer. Is Mayweather Promotions the future leading boxing promotion company?
Think their fate is tied to Al Haymon, but I'd say they'll be a success. Bigger than TR? Probably not. The same capitalisation of fame as a fighter that ODLH used to make GBP a success will apply to Mayweather promotions too.
That's my point. GBP didn't and doesn't have a talent like Haymon, and if ODLH is the Golden boy, then Mayweather has to be the Platinum boy. In the next 4 years I'll bet that MP produces more champions than GBP has.
It's the worst stable I've ever seen in my life. Bum after bum after bum. Mayweather really needs to start signing some Russians, Ukrainians and Brits if he wants more success.
I think that their fate at one time was dependent to a large degree on Al but Mayweather is sharp and he has put the right people in place to keep it moving if Al departs. On second thought, I believe they would become much larger if something happened to Al or if they parted ways. Mayweather is a creative predator. He comes up with great ideas and is smart and wise enough to pick the right people to bring his ideas to fruition. He is a better thinker than Oscar and as a matter of fact he has always been one step or two ahead of Oscar. He has Oscar's number period. Now ole Bob, he's a master player and I don't see him going anywhere but up. He is still planting seeds in China and when that takes off, look out, ole Bob will be reaching for the crown. Mayweather trying to start some static in the UK but Hearns will die a thousand deaths before he lets that happen. He might be able to get a small slice of the pie but thats about it. It's about setting up shop in host countries now that boxing is truly global and I think that Mayweather is going to try another country, maybe New Zealand.
Don't forget, although Scheafer is doing his own thing, it is because of GBP's eagle eyes, and he is no doubt working alongside Haymon & Floyd. Also, Hearn being about money will also hitch his wagon with Haymon/Floyd. GBP & TR are in for a rough time over the next few years. If Roc Nation is smart, they'd better start getting cosy with MP.
i think mayweather promotions will take over. bob is getting old idk if that matters. but mayweather imo has done a great job with his fighters. he matches them tuff
Plus, they get paid well and after this weekend's card, they see they get visibility and care to avoid serious injury. Plus Mayweather stood up for his boxers when three blind judges made a bad decision. If he signs Degale, then we'll see.
I think he will need a few fighters to start making a little more noise in their divisions for it to really take off, he's got a few guys right now with some buzz though, not a terrible stable.
