Comments Thread For: Mayweather Parts Ways With Golden Boy Promotions

[-PBP-]

People thinking this is the end of the "Cold War" are being a lil naive. Even if GBP and TR decide to work together, its only gonna be o ccassionally. And those are gonna be situations where its a big fight or a mandatory being enforced by the ABC groups. This isn't gonna be a free-4-all where interpromotional are being made on a regular basis.

I don't really need that TBH. I just don't want any Mares/Donaire type of situations anymore.

Floyd doesnt have very many fights left anyway. Let him leave. Continue business as usual.

Exactly! Who cares what Mayweather does at this point? It's not like he's the future of boxing. Even the fighters in his stable aren't of the highest caliber. Schaefer's a snake, one can look at him and see that he's no good. Oscar has a pretty strong company that he can continue to grow, if he stays clean and sober. Let Mayweather and Schaefer hold hands as they make declarations of who they won't work with. B1tches.

Floyd will fight Al Haymon fighters Duh.... Golden Boy Fighters will still ask to fight Floyd because he is still the biggest draw in boxing. Pac will now get to fight someone other than Marquez. Al Haymon is the one with all the power. If he say he will not work with Golden Boy then Golden Boy has a problem but he can't because some of his fighters are promoted by Golden Boy... Oscar problem is that he dont know the business of boxing. Richard did all the business work while he ran around and smiled... Richard cant just come out and say im going to work with Mayweather promotions for legal reasons. We all know that Al and Richard will come together and form there own promo company or Richard will just join him at Mayweather. They are all rich so they will be fine.

Ur ******. Al haymond just advisor with no Las Vegas boxing license n last I checked (not sure) mayweather promotions can't do business in Vegas also. Haymond being more of agent needs a promoter to do business with to actually get his fighters in sanctioned fights in Vegas

Who's gonna be doing all the promotional work Golden Boy's done for Floyd since 2007?

Maybe Floyd, Al Haymon, Schaefer got something cooking, but then again why would Schaefer compete against a company he still holds stock in? Just doesn't make sense.

Has Mayweather Promotions finally gotten their promoter's license?

Floyd is limiting himself greatly. He basically isn't willing to work with the two biggest promotions on earth. Really wouldn't surprise me if Golden Boy and Top Rank work together and make a huge card for Sept to screw over Mayweather.

Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. insisted that his next fight (probably Froch) should be on Sep 13, same date as Mayweather heis set on his horse that thats what he wants, and if Carl Froch that would really hurt Floyd's PPV #s, especially if it is vs a non hispanic (mexican) fighter.

GBP will be fine. Floyd is the only major marquee name on TMT, and he has only a few fights left. I see a lot of good fights being made now.

Sept just got interesting lol

WTF is this????

[JBell11]

Not surprised; but it will be a very interesting year.

Thoughts:
1. Mayweather Promotions - Non-lisenced promoter in the State of Nevada
2. Theory: Richard Schaefer joins non-existent Mayweather Promotions (Perhaps, but would need to sell shares (Stake) of GBP- He would probably run into some type of legal problems if there was some type of non-competing clause in his contract with the former employer (i.e., GBP) clauses typically state a one year non-competing clause. So maybe, after a year, Richard may either create a promotion co. and share stake with other vested promotion companies (i.e., Mayweather Promotions); or he simply joins Mayweather Promotions and dissolves shares (not in that order).
3. Oscar has some work to do - it's in his best interest to hire a competent business minded individual to replace Richard that has weight in the industry and is savvy enough to retain/attract talent in the company (not just fighters). Oscar, unfortunately, although recovering, is viewed by the majority as a volitale person - a person that can't make an informed decision.
4. Who are the clients being represented? Oscar not knowing who is in his stable is NOT GOOD for business. He should have that info on TAP. It's still up in the air as to who GBP has signed.
5. Haymon cannot be affiliated/represent a promotional company because it is an illegal act under the Muhammad Ali Act - this is a moot point because he will continue to operate as an advisor to the fighters "nothing more".
6. Is this good for the sport? Will there be a stand off between Top Rank/Golden Boy vs Mayweather Promotions? Maybe, but it's going to be an interesting year.

WTF is this????

Lmao idk dude look like a walking freak show

[Frank Ducketts]

I thought that Floyd was ducking Pac already according to some of you Pac fans? Why would leaving GBPs be proof that Floyd is ducking Pac lmao.

I knew that you guys never believed that Floyd ducked Pac deep down, but if you think that you have some sort of stamp of approval because Floyd is no longer using GBPs......as B.I.G said, "You're Dead Wrong", lmmfao.
