    Fifty spent huge amounts of money buying out his boxers' contracts. Now, he just wants to recoup whatever he can recoup from his investment gone kaput.
    WHat r u talking about dude? Floyd would never try and take GBP or Haymon out of the picture. Maybe he would consider not using GBP to promote his fights but he has no1 that can promote a fight the way GBP or TR can and just having 50 who has money like Floyd isn't gonna take them outa the equation. And Haymon??? Floyd would never try and step on Haymon's shoes are you kidding me? This guy made all these black fighters and has more power and connections in the boxing game than they can imagine. 50 probably wanted some of Floyd's money and tried to convince Floyd to leave GBP and Haymon so he can make money off the boxing business himself and used Floyd's incarceration as his way of promoting TMT while Floyd was locked up and couldn't be contacted. Now that **** backfired and ppl see 50 for the greedy "business man" he is and the fighters in his stable and his own money are gonna take the blow. He bought a bunch of contracts and has to go back to the same guy he bought them from to make his money back in the future. Why do u think he's trying to make Gamboa vs Foyd? LOL Floyd would eat Gamboa but at least 50 can cash his check and then drop Gamboa nd leave the boxing business. Dude ****ed up

      Floyd has been trying to get rid of GBP and Haymon for a long time now. He just didn't know how. You gotta be an idiot to assume these all came from Fifty.

        Since you put that out there, what did Floyd promise to do in relation to TMT. Can you point me to an article or something issued\stated by Floyd Mayweather ...... THX

        Again, Since you put that out there, when did Floyd state that he would be willing to seperate from Haymon and GBP??? As far as I know, Floyd and Haymon are INSEPARABLE and Floyd's relationship with Shaeffer is good as gold.

        Can you point me to an article or something issued\stated by Floyd Mayweather that he wanted to cease doing business with Haymon, who has been with Floyd for almost THIRTY years ......THX

            If Floyd had his way, he would get rid of everyone that gets cuts from his fights. That's just the kind of person he is. He hanged out with Don King to find some answers. He came back holding a piece of paper that purportedly guarantees him $100 million for a fight with Pacquiao. He realized that he really didn't want the fight at whatever price.

              I dont buy anything thats going on between gayweather and 50, one is the biggest ***** in the rap game and the other is the biggest ***** in the boxing game, all they are doing in hyping up mayweathers next fight thats going to end in some dumb controversy like mayweather vs ortiz.

                  30 years? OK guy Floyd was managed by J prince not that long ago when he got into debt with him and Arum had to save his life after Prince's henchman painted the gym with Ellerbies blood. Where did you get 30 years from?

                    The same applies to every business man, unfortunately for them they live in a place called reality where sometimes you have to pay the cost of doing business. Floyd, Al Haymon and GBP have a mutually beneficial relationship and there is currently no sensible reason for Floyd to exit from it.

                      Things that make you go hmm.?.? Can't say that I'm completely sold on the beef either. It just doesn't make sense? One minute PBF is on some googly eye, " I love you man" shi+ with 50 on 24/7, and the next min 50 is starting a Promo Co. w/o Floyd knowing about it...while he's in jail?!?! Hmm... These cats are smart. I think this is all part of the script. To what end? I don't know. But one thing is for sure; they seem to have hijacked the spot light and are garnering attention from far more than your dedicated boxing fan.
