Comments Thread For: Mayweather Parts Ways With Golden Boy Promotions

[Los Zetas]

Mayweather and Richard wanted to destroy boxing by creating a barrier with top rank.

If promoters don't work together it affects boxing.

Mayweather is a fraud.

So he won't fight Top Rank fighters, and he won't fight Golden Boy fighters, who exactly is he going to fight? His own crappy stable?

Obviously he's going to have to get over himself and work with one of them.

He never said he wouldn't fight golden boy fighters. And for that matter, it's not immediately clear who the golden boy fighters are. Everyone needs to calm down and wait for things to sort themselves out. All I see is ppl jumping the gun on what's happening.

Floyd will fight the Al Haymon fighters. Oscar is the one who doesn't know who is signed to GBP. Richard Schaefer and Haymon will still come out on top.

He better announce his next fight soon. A lot needs to get done in the next 3 months.

And who knows what the details are? Some fighters had GBP contracts pre-Haymon.

My message to Floyd.

People keep saying the Haymon fighters will leave, well, I doubt it's that simple. Maybe some aren't Golden Boy, maybe some have the ability to leave if they are, but I'm sure the majority of Golden Boy Haymon fighters have a contract that won't be as easy as saying, "I'm walking away now."

Adrien Broner has a long term contract with GBP for example. And I'm sure he's not the only one. I'd hate to see a bunch of fighters get Andre Warded for the next year or two.

If they are working on a fight by fight basis, why not? Guys like Porter and Thurman are not signed to GBP supposedly. They are available and viable fights. They dint have to walk away. Everyone knows Hsymon is their unofficial promoter anyways.

Floyd has the same options today as he did yesterday he can fight anybody he wants to.

And out of all those fighters he wants to fight Amir Khan

Who will bid for Porter vs Brook? Haymon can't get a license within a week or 2.

News reports say GBP is working on the deal but that was before yesterday.
