Floyd is still trying to build his brand (Floyd Mayweather Promotions) so he partnered with GBP because they have the power and the capital to make things happen. I'm not exactly sure on the details of the split but GBP gets a % for their services. It's a long term plan to build the experience and brand name of his own promotional company. Eventually he plans dissolve the partnership and run his own company using an adaptive form of the business strategy the GBP currently employs.
    It's called business fellas, pick up a book or a WSJ or something.
    It's not a partnership, it makes MP a subsidiary of Golden Boy.

        so, he has a contract with GBP to handle the rest of his career. sounds like a Golden Boy fighter to me.

            GBP promotes floyd, tell me what boxer has floyd promoted? Oscar is Floyd's daddy, end of story!

            Floyd's daddy(is showing him the ropes) he is showing him how his old man makes business and has turned gbp into the biggest promotional company in boxing history.

                  yeah, i don't think Steve Forbes is going anywhere Larry, and that legacy of his aint going anywhere until he fights a guy his size in Sugar Shane, I personally think Floyd can win that fight, but he's too scared to even try it. We all now Shane struggles against slick fighters, but Floyd is too scared to get PlasteritoED

                    its essentially the same thing. there isn't much difference. he just calls it a "partnership" so that he can say he is his own boss.

                    did i mention Pacquiao also has a company called MP promotions? i believe some filipino fighters have fought under this company in the Philippines

                    manny's MP promotions is much more legit that floyd's MP promotions....

                      i know manny does and so does david haye..these fighters are just upstarting and trying to establish their own companies when they retire..but like with any company you should intern or be around the buisness to learn how to better run your own company
