    Oscar had a better start with Richard Schaefer, even though they fell out in the end. The Mayweather/Ellerbe dynamic doesn't seem to work outside of Floyd being an active fighter himself.

      Well thats a compliment towards Oscar isnt ? Can't fault Oscar for hiring competent people who know the industry like Schaeffer,Gomez and Diaz who are leaps and bounds ahead of what Ellerbe is capable of.

        Oscar De La Hoya started Golden Boy and was making big fights within a few months.

        What’s the biggest fight Mayweather promotions has put on? Who’s the biggest star he’s built up? Tank’s PPV numbers are terrible.

          Because Eddie is messy like that, Arum just tried to tell you yesterday that he stays in every promoters' business and talking about their fighters, fights, and sales that have nothing to do with him.

            Eddie said it was one fight with no strings attached but in the Charlo case he never really sent the official offer. He was recruiting in a way. And you’re right about the Tank TR payday it would be his 2nd highest payday. But you know when you get a taste of that big money you want to keep getting it. I know for a fact TR would have to have some kind of guarantee on Tanks next fight. There’s no way they’d do a one and done. But TR has the roster that maybe they could sell Tank on a 3 fight contract. There stacked from 130 to 140. You go from Loma, Haney, Stevenson, Josh Taylor, to Teofimo we’re talking career defying fights.
            Haney is a free agent after his next fight.

              I think DAN-B has a point. There would be no PBC without Floyd. I think the day to day operations of MP was being handled by Leonard while Floyd was all over the world doing exhibitions. As long as Pbc is around then MP will be alright.

                I wasn’t going in any particular order. I can’t see Haney signing anywhere else at least not long term.

                  Yeah, if he beats Loma, I think his dad loves the attention of being a free agent that everyone else has to call for a championship fight.....I don't blame him, its gotta be nice to hold all the cards when negotiating and know that you're calling the shots.

                    He doesn’t hold all the cards though. He went to TR for far less money than he was getting from DAZN and he had to go on the road twice. He’s got the belts but he’s not a household name. TR has the roster to make him some decent offers but he can’t sell any tickets on his own. DAZN gambled that they could make him a star but they cut bait when that wasn’t working. I don’t think he’ll ever earn that kind of scratch again.

                      GTD Promotions! WTF does he need Eddie Hearn or any other Promoter? Like Canelo you go fight by fight or no longer that 3 fight deals and you float around to the highest bidder but no he doesn't need any new Promoter trying to tell him what to do and who to fight
