Question: Is Floyd promoted by Golden Boy?

[larry x]

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

well mosley and pacman are his only 2 options right now....2 fights..4 belts
wbc,wba,wbo,the ring belt=9 time champ in 5 divisions..2 time linear champ at 147..42-0=legacy sealed

[KennyWeldon]

no he isnt signed to them as a fighter..they just have a certain percentage rights to those fights

STFU Larry!! you don't know **** do you? Floyd himself said he voluntarily chose GBP to do promote PBF vs Hatton because they get things done right! He then went back to GBP for his JMM fight and Richard said...Floyd welcome back and we promise not to let you down, and now Floyd has crawled back to GBP to help him get Pacman, he's GBP's *****!

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

yes, hatton also has Hatton promotions.

the point im trying to make is floyd and some of his fans here say that floyd is "his own boss" and pacquiao "works for top rank"

in reality, they're relationship with their respective promoters is the same.

well manny is signed as a fighter to top rank...floyd has a buisness partnership with goldenboy..he's not signed as a goldenboy fighter..like hopkins and mosley..etc..etc..

yes, floyd isn't signed as a golden boy fighter. pacquiao is signed as a top rank fighter.

that's how far the difference goes. just a technicality.

everything else makes him a Golden Boy fighter.

[Pullcounter]

floyd works for GBP

[DuttyAlacrity]

yes, in other words he is being promoted by Golden Boy. don't believe everything floyd says. he is know to contradict himself, you know.

It's not a partnership, it makes MP a subsidiary of Golden Boy.

sure.... whatever makes you guys happy
you guys do know that all GBP fighters are clearly identified on Golden Boy's website right?

[Maidana vs Rios]

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.

I thought you were banned, Al Hamon. You're like a bad case of Herpes.

[istmeno]

no he isnt signed to them as a fighter..they just have a certain percentage rights to those fights

do you really believe that they are doing multi million dollar deals, and NO paperwork is signed? cmon now.
