i think its a mayweather/haymon, hbo, golden boy circle jerk that is shooting blanks, and has been for awhile
there is nothing written down per se, in the form of a contract, but there is a certain understanding that exists between the aforementioned partiesComment

Golden Boy wasn't even involved with the negotiations with the South African delegation led by Michael Lodge and Nelson Mandela's daughter. That deal was killed by a 'money dispute' (the negotiations and parties involved all confirmed by a lawsuit obtained by TMZ so that 'it never happened' bull**** won't fly, no mention of no fight because of blood testing) with Arum claiming Floyd demanded $100 mil, and that he has the text from Lodge confirming this.
Has nothing to do with GBP, Don King, or any other promoter. Floyd and his family/handlers (especially his own pops) want NOTHING to do with Pacquiao in the ring. Fight is never going to happen, never was. Time to move on.

The only fighter Floyd fought in their prime in the last six years, was Hatton. And even then, he made him move up a weight class.Comment

According to Lodge, the negotiations and various discussions started in January 2011 with Mohlaleng and VisionQwest on a project to bring Pacquiao and Mayweather to fight in South Africa in honor of Nelson Mandela's 93rd birthday. Both companies began discussions with Manny Pacquiao (represented by Top Rank) and Floyd Mayweather (represented by Jeff Mayweather and Al Haymon). No final agreement was reached around the financial arrangements, and all parties amicably agreed to end discussions.
No mention of Golden Boy (or blood tests), and Jeff Mayweather confirmed all this (including the $50 mil/person offer and Floyd wanting $100 mil for himself). Arum even hinted that King was working on behalf of Floyd in all that.
Floyd is not signed to Golden Boy and they are not necessary to make any fight involving him.Comment
