..aaaannnnnd the plot thickens.

GBP: We really really really need you, Floyd.



Don't do it, Floyd!

yes so true...he said he was his own promotor and boss, and only need his advisors to advise him...if you want to minimize your payout to a promoter, then why not promote yourself like the self promotor you claimed to be?

Because he doesn't have the money, connections, and work force that GBP has. Do you think he would be investing all of his money into a fight? People think promoting fights is cheap... **** cost millions of dollars even before they start promoting the fight.

Name me one fighter that has the connections, money, knowledge, work force, etc. that Arum or Richard has.

Nobody "just has dinner with Don King".

He's not signing with King. It doesn't benefit him. It does benefit an aspiring promoter to pick the brain apart of man that his been in the game for a long time.

I like the move. But it will just be a lateral move by going with King. In reading past articles Mayweather Promotions is real it just doesn't have a promoters llicense and Mayweather just mainly uses Golden Boy for their promoter's license. It kind of makes sense seeing as though you do see Mayweather Promotions in with all the other advertisments.

Anybody know what it takes to get a promoters license?

King might even get PBF to fight outside of vegas and in a stadium somewhere and either in the country or outside the country. Would not be a bad move.

Even though King's troubles have been more publicized Arum, Frank Warren Murah Muhammad all of them have robbed fighters before also and are just as bad as King is.

It still makes sence for Floyd and King to work together, for Floyd's audience Don King would be the best guy to have around. I love Schaeffer and his accent but King is King.

King needs Floyd and King probably has the resources to make Floyd a great offer. If Floyd is a free agent as he says he should always be looking for the best offer, wherever it comes from.

Sounds like smart move from Floyd.

GBP has been flappin' their mouths to much, feeling entitled to ****.

I'm sure that Floyd doesn't want to be a GBP fighter, but Oscar and the swiss guy have been treating him as such.

Oscar and Schaefer need to be reminded of their roles.

Mediators, that's all.

Oscar and Schaefer talk about Floyd like if he was the star of their stable when Floyd wants no part of that.

Not all the time that a fighter meets another promoter that he would sing or his thinking about signing with them.

Buenas dias, Oscar de la Hoya.

Good morning, Al Haymon.

For breakfast this morning, may we offer you some scintillating photos posted by Floyd Mayweather himself on his Twitter social networking page?

Inner promoter conflict, Golden boy promotions and Al Haymon are probably telling Mayweather stop being a lil ***** and sign the fight, and Mayweather is to scared so the lil boy runs to Daddy Don, "help me they make me cry". Daddy Don smiles and says "come to me my son, enter the gates, it's a lil hot down here but hey you gotta make weight anyways". And with a pitch fork smacks Mayweather in the ass and down he goes.
