Is Floyd promoted by GBP or not?

[Deevel916]

I see some posters say he's a partner and I see some say he's promoted by GBP. According to the GBP site, Floyd is listed on the roster as a GBP fighter.

He is co-owned by GBP but he claims he's his own boss.

Yeah he's on the roster regardless of what he says and as long as they match him up against a Golden Boy fighter they can satisfy his huge demands and let him say whatever the hell he wants. The funny thing is Floyds more of a partner than Mosley was and it was cold how Floyd threw Mosley under the bus by telling everyone Mosley wasn't really a partner (we all knew he wasn't and neither is BHOP).

Not true...He just signs one fight contracts with them.Al Haymon paid off his irs debt....Floyd can go do a deal with don king right now...or he can go do a deal with bob arum if he wants....he has Mayweather promotions....he just does ONE fight deals with them, Mayweather promotions leads to promotion so Floyd makes all the money, and golden boy does all the labor

Sounds about right! Its just weird how both Floyd and Oscar are in business yet they both have genuine dislike for one another.

Mayweather promotions is just a name. Its not an actual boxing promotional company. He's not a licensed boxing promoter.
