This is a case of necessity makes for strange bedfellows. Oscar needs Floyd to keep the golden boy brand name out there, to make it seem as if they are still strong. Floyd needs golden boy because they officially have the MGM on reserve that day for him and he wants to keep that relationship / site fee strong, as well as not having much time for finding another comparable venue. It is an age old case of It's cheaper to keep her for both sides.
No Floyd needs GBP. He has never had a event without them. Mayweather Promotions is a ****ing joke.
Some of you are just dumb that it is beyond belief the sort of ****** comments I read on here. Oscar and Arum only discussed the possibilities of working together only a couple of months ago. Plans hasn't been put in motion yet as to how the two companies are going to collaborate efforts. These sort of things take time. It's not as simple as just throwing fighters in the ring. Oscar getting his company back is one step, understanding the operational sides of things is another and actually going outside the company to co-promote is another step. And for those shaking their head that Oscar's gotta be dumb for working with Floyd, NO, u need to shake your damn head the other way around. Floyd is the one that needs the pity. Highest paid fighter, popularity and all who can't even promote his own fight at this stage. Where else is Floyd going to go when he has no promoter's license and despite his bluff about not working with Oscar, he realizes he has no where else to go but to crawl back to Golden boy to help put a credible promotion together. As far as am concerned, Oscar is the winner here. He's getting a sizable fee off Floyd's fight, he 'll still talk shi.t about him and he still gets to work with Arum whenever he gets ready to.
