HITTIN THE ROAD?
I was told by a pretty good source that Floyd Mayweather’s first fight of 2010 could take place in England in late January or February. I know that Golden Boy Promotions CEO, Richard Schaefer was in England the past few days after spending some time in Germany for the David Haye-Nicolai Valuev fight.
Not sure just who Mayweather would face or exactly where, but it does seem to make some sense. If he’s not going to face the likes of Shane Mosley or Manny Pacquiao/Miguel Cotto in the first half of the upcoming year, why not take the show on the road if he’s going to face rather non-descript opposition? Also, Golden Boy has a corporate partnership with AEG, which has venues all throughout Europe and the world.
I know some will howl in protest if Mayweather doesn’t face one of the names mentioned above, or the likes of Paul Williams, but I actually think this could be a pretty good idea in terms of creating sizable events across the world and expanding Mayweather’s profile internationally.
We’ll see if this actually comes to fruition. - Steve Kim
