Why do the top elite fighters have promoters?

I don't get it, as floyd said, arum would get 27% of manny's earnings, can't he just go through the hassle and make the fight himself?

Guys like Pacquiao would be selling hot dogs if they din't have a great promoter to bring them up. Once you become someone you can leave like De La Hoya but you need someone to make you a star.

That would be the sensible option. But i think he'd rather just pay for it.

Arum did contribute to Floyd's success but Floyd has made his most $ without Arum...

First of all Mayweather could be lying
second for the sake that you need one
look at floyd again
the only big fight he has got on his own was Hatton
He needed oscar for that fight then he needs him again to help sell this fight with JMM. He was asked about the deal he made with GBP and he wouldnt talk about it
why?
cause he isnt the true boss as he claims
GBP owns his ass now and he knows it
without them promoting Floyd he wont get any fights worth the money he demands

besides Oscar fighters need promotors.
with the exception of RJJ I believe.

[S.G.]

because they're mega rich stars and can't be arsed with promoting themselves

Marquez is promoted by GBP...

Yea Floyd and Oscar sold more because of Oscar but Floyd is a draw...

Floyd can make 6 figures fighting a Top Rank fighter, Dan Goosen fighter, or GBP fighter...
