    Is DLH Floyd's daddy?

    What do you guys say?

    He talks about being his own boss, and nobody taking his money, truth is DLH has been promoting his fights since The World Awaits...his fights with Hatton, and JMM have been promoted by GBP.

    And there was an interview conducte at the GBP turkey giveaway where they asked Izzy Vasquez, Abner Mares, Vicente Escobedo, and others who they got in Pac vs Floyd and they all said Floyd, not just because he is their stable mate but because he's just good.

    So what do you guys say?

    they are in business, yes...

    But I think Floyd is a more free fighter than most... Pac and Cotto for instance. Arum keeps those two under his thumb.

        Oscar: No not really, I can't back that up, but i am your boss!

          That means that Arum is Floyds Grand Pappy since DLH is Arum's son

            gbp handles his negotiations, promotes his fights, and gets a cut from his purse. sounds like he's a gbp fighter to me.

                Its not Arum style cut of the purse though.

                And if GBP really had Floyd on a leash, they could have more effectively pressured him to do the Mosley fight, as they obviously wanted.

                Also, you can see in several interviews and TV spots how Oscar is exasperated with the whole Floyd "being his own boss" situation. He even did a face palm one time while talking about it. LOL

                Nope, they are just in business, though GBP would of course want it differently

                  They might have a different agreement than with Arum but yes, Oscar is Floy's Mommy and Daddy

                    Floyd's promotion is under GBP.

                    but he doesnt totaly control Floyd's promotion.
