All of these fighters either fight for Golden Boy/Al Haymon, or is with a promoter who is willing to do business with GBP. So there is no excuse why any of these fights can't being made.
That being said, I propose a mini 147 tournament. It goes like this
FIGHT 1
Adrien Broner vs Keith Thurman (assuming they both win their respective fights tomorrow night)
FIGHT 2:
Shawn Porter vs Kell Brook ("FIGHT 1" and "FIGHT 2" should be on the same card to set up "FIGHT 3)
FIGHT 3:
Winner of FIGHT 1 vs Winner of FIGHT 2 in a unification fight for the WBA and IBF welterweight belts
Fight 4:
Winner of FIGHT 3 vs Floyd Mayweather for the WBA, IBF, WBC, and RING titles
How do you see this imaginary tournament ending up?

won't happen black vs black doesn't sell
mayweather needs a mexican/rican to do at least 800k buys tbh:rofl:
While Ward got byes do due Dirrell cry baby antics the rest fought and beat the crap out each other Ward had the easy schedule compared to the rest by the time Froch fought him he was shop worn and burnt out. I know you wouldn't understand because you have never fought before but trust me many fights no matter how young you are do take it's toll. Why do you think Mayweather fights once a year to allow his body to heal and to inject his HGH to perverse his body
One issue I have with Floyd's recent opposition is that they usually only have one good win instead of a string of them. Ortiz only had Berto, and Canelo only had Trout. With a tournament, even if we don't think the winner has any chance of beating Floyd, at least we'd know he truly deserves to share the same ring with Floyd because he's consistently beaten good opposition.
Would love to see this play out.
GBP has a deep roster around 147. you can mix and match with:
ghost
thurman
ortiz
danny
khan
alexander
porter
maidana
broner
pauli
alot of exciting fights to make..
But remember they tried to have the 140 tourney this year with garcia-zab, lucas-peterson, winners fight, and winner of that got khan in december, remember all that talk
I forgot about the Ghost and Paulie :boxing:
that roster is deep.

What if Broner wins the whole thing though?
He already said he wouldn't fight Floyd.
I like the idea though but at the same time they need to bring some fighters back like Ortiz, Berto, Matthysse (can move up test the waters). People already know these names maybe they could fight the losers of your tournament to throw them right back in the mix?
None of those guys really sell PPV for Floyd at this moment so a tournament would defiantly help them build their names in the sport like the super 6 tournament did.
Broner = 24
Thurman = 25
Porter = 26
Brook = 27
A tournament is not gonna leave them shopworn or damaged.

So basically you want all these guys shop worn by the time they get to Floyd

Every fight in around the welterweight division is basically a tournament for who gets to fight Floyd.Danny Garcia beat Khan,Zab,Holt and Mathysse so i`m sure FLoyd is gonna pick him in the future unless Garcia loses to somebody.
switch match ups!
I would have Thurman vs porter and Broner vs brooks! Don't wanna have the best match up first. Build the Thurman Broner rivalry up! Then they both have titles when they faceoff..makes it more epic! Broner needs to cut the big brother **** out! If he truly wants to be boxing next cash cow he's gonna have to knock the king off his throne. That's all an act! These guys didnt come up with each other or anything like that. Just got cool with each other like year ago lol
