What was the official cause/start of the "Cold War?"

[Fetta]

Widely known it was Pac who started it but of course no one would dare blame him for anything

[Larry the boss]

It was De La Hoya picking up Pacquiao at the airport with a bag of cash. Pacquiao signed with GBP that night, but it was ruled invalid by a judge because he had already agreed to a deal with TR.

Imagine if that decision didn't get overturned.

Yep,bingo...but look at the posts before yours they most likely never even knew that happened at all

It all started when Manny signed a contract with Goldenboy and Top Rank days apart...lawsuits were filed...a truce came for awhile then it went bad again basically over Manny and Floyd..then the tipping point came when Canelo and Chavez were booked on the same date..but the Manny thing started it all

no it wasn't...that's what started the friction but GBP and TR still did business together


even after the lawsuits and other crap, PAC was still whoopin on GBP opponents


hell, he even fought Oscar after that...if it were a 'Cold War' why the hell are they both making money for each other

Started after Pac beat DLH. Too easy!

It started with Golden Boy's mission statement back in 2002. It was pretty much a big FU to the big promoters.

yea, that statement didn't really mean **** when they put MAB vs Fana and Peden on ppv right after



'we're gonna be different'

'we're just like you'

Thanks guys. Damn, if Manny would have been GBP. Interesting.

They had problems before that.

Both JMM and Shane Mosley had to leave Golden Boy and sign with Top Rank before they could get a fight with Pacquiao.
