Comments Thread For: 50 Cent, Mayweather Relationship No Longer The Same

I'm willing to bet this had something to do with Floyd wanting to still let GBP promote his fights, and 50 probably didn't like it.

All I know is, if Pac/Mayweather were to EVER happen, GBP is not gonna be part of the equation. Mayweather will either self-promote or he'll fight under the TMT banner. 50 just gotta hit the ground running with his first card.

You can make the most of what you read about, but you can't make the most of what you don't know.

I honestly feel if Arum or Pacquiao were willing take 40-45%, it would happen. Floyd just wants the higher % of the revenue and I can't blame him for that, when he in fact generates more money per fight in PPV's and ticket sales.

I completely agree.

Why does Floyd need 50 cent? 50 needs Floyd way more than Floyd. Floyd can co-promote his fights with GBP under Mayweather Promotions like he has been doing these last couple of years.

So you think GBP/TR would hug it out for a big payday, huh? This is exactly why TMT needs to have some success, tired of the bullshit between these two diva companies. I will be ****in PISSED if 50 wastes his current stable. He has a solid SMW in Dirrell and a great 126 -135lber in Gamboa, and he has the money to put behind them, can't **** this one up. They have the talent, he has the ducketts, all he needs is a network and a date.

That list wasn't in any specific order, just a list of powerful people in boxing IIRC...

Really?

1. Al Haymon – The most powerful guy in boxing is also its most mysterious. You'll rarely, if ever, see him in front of a television camera and you'll never catch him speaking to a reporter. He's not a promoter. He's not a manager. But when Haymon says jump, plenty of people in boxing listen.

He's referred to as an adviser, which is a smart way to avoid having to be licensed by an athletic commission and to skirt the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act. It's illegal in the U.S. to serve as a promoter and a manager, though Haymon does both.

But what he does is, he'll hire a promoter to, essentially, buy his or her license for an event. So, while, say, Gary Shaw Productions may be the promoter of record for an event, he's doing so at the direction of Haymon. It's Shaw who has to follow the regulations required of a promoter by the state athletic commissions, not Haymon, but it's Haymon making the calls.

He also directs the careers of many fighters, serving as a de facto manager. But while managers are required to be licensed by the states, advisers are not.

He's involved with a slew of the sport's biggest stars, including the biggest, Floyd Mayweather Jr. When Haymon wants one of his fighters on television, he gets it. His fighters compete when he says, where he says, on the network he wants and generally for what he asks purse-wise.

There's no one more powerful than that.

I remember him getting a lot of flak for the 50 Cent thing when it came out and he explained it is just a list and not a ranking.
