Comments Thread For: Don King is Making a Run at Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Could be some beef going on with team Mayweather and GBP that we don't know about. Hopefully some good comes out of this however unlikely that is.

That's what I'm thinking...

I have a feeling Goldenboy promotions, pointing a finger at De La Hoya here... spoke to Greenberg. And lied he didn't.

This Mayweather move is a result of that lie.

I doubt that he is naive enough to sign anything with Don King. Pacquiao based on previous history, signing with Golden Boy while still signed to Top rank because Oscar flashed him a briefcase full of money, would be more likely to fall for Don King.

If anything, Floyd could devolop a working relationship with King like Roy Jones did, JUST ON A HANDSHAKE. Roy Jones got together with Don for the Tito fight and didn't sign any contracts.

Could Goldenboy be the guys that messed up with the second round of negotiations? is this the real reason for this move.

Were they the people that talked to Ross Greenberg? did they lie? was it Oscar De La Hoya that spoke to him?

Feels like tuning into the WWF all over again, so many questions.

In the end,It's floyd choice what he wants,Not goldenboys.I just think
imo he didnt want the fight right now.Goldenboy will do what floyd wants.

Or Maybe Floyd is just biting off LeBron James, trying to be controversial by doing unusual things. Chillin in Miami with a corrupt promoter is his way of "I'm not staying in Cleveland, i'm exploring other options".

But in the end nothing will come of it.

No beef in the camps.

Floyd wants leverage to pay GBP less money for the Pacquiao fight.

Hmmm... I find this interesting.

Well, sounds like there may very well be some beefs after this stunt.

[deanrw]

If Floyd does sign with him, I wonder what GBP will say. The **** will fly then.

Hopefully it is just a ploy on Mayweathers part.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

So Floyd is cutting out GBP.

iNTERESTING.

Floyd Mayweather is a smart dude. He knows how to push buttons and get ****
done his way.

Don only steals from fighters who let him. If you got great lawyers that wouldn't happen. Mayweather doesn't need Don so Don would do anything to get a piece of Mayweather. More like a partnership than fighter and promoter.
