if he doesn't work for anybody, or doesn't pay anyone to promote him, how come the one negotiating for him is Schaefer?

Partnership. Floyd is his own boss for a long time now.

Yeah right. He's advised by Al Haymon and promoted by GBP.

oh... "Floyd is his own boss"

I assume he can always say no to what's proposed by GBP, so in that sense he is his own boss.

But to think he's in control of everything and is responsible for all the decisions (promotional or otherwise), which is what he implies, then no I doubt it.

In business, you hire people to do things for you. Every company hires or contracts other companies.

Floyd set up a pass-through imprint , Mayweather Promotions, to make a promoter's cut, and then he hires GBP for a flat fee to do the promotional legwork.

By not being contracted, he has negotiation leverage on a fight-by-fight basis.

Jeez. It is shocking how little some of you understand about business.

GBP = $$$

That's what Floyd needs for his promotion company to succeed in the future.

so u think Al Haymon and Ellerbe would be able to successfully negotiate with fat old man Arum. yeah right....Schaefer is a nice move for him. Floyd would have been done a deal with GBP if whatn't for Oscar and his dislike for him.

so lemme get this straight..

Top Rank promotes pacquiao's fights, do negotiations, and get a cut from his fights, means he is "working for someone else"

GBP promotes Floyd's fights, does the negotiations, and get a cut from his fight, means he is "his own boss"
