    They arent going to do mayweather any special favors they were doing before cause the leverage is gone. Before mayweather power was himself. Haymon was the one who leverage mayweather it wasnt mayweather realizing his worth, haymon leverage mayweather name into a damn empire for himself and mayweather just got a flat fee.

    Out of all the people Mikey can sign with Mayweather promotion can do the less for him, hes better off with Haymon or GBP
    GBP would be a terrible, terrible option for him.

    It's pretty obvious he's going the Haymon route. And Haymon isn't a promoter, only an adviser. So we'll see if he 'advises' Mikey to stay promoterless or to join Mayweather Promotions.

      Mikey needs to shop around and talk to all the promoters to see who will give him the best deal. Also to see who can line him up with the best fights down the road.

      If that happens to be Floyd then so be it.

        A move to GBP may or may not be a bad idea for him personally, but for us fans it'd be pointless since he'd basically get the same fights he would have gotten with Top Rank.

        It seems obvious he's headed to Haymon, and most of his big name guys don't have promoters.

          GBP can do alot more for Mikey than can Mayweather promotions alone. he signs with mayweather promotion he gonna headline on showtime and thats that. He signs with GBP he gonna headline on HBO the premiere boxing network and GBP ahve endorsement deals and buisness relationship that they can pitch mikey too thats how canelo got his recent endorsement, mayweather cant offer that just for the simple fact that mayweather hasnt built up a network list like that yet.

          the best mayweather promotion has done is get badou jack a title shot (when mayweather was still active and had leverage) now badou jack next fight is in an alley in DC.

            Gervonta Davis has been on tv and making a name for himself, he got Ashley ***in theophane a headline title shot on spike. Of course haymon would be the better choice if he wins and gets a fox/nbc fight

              GBP's only partner is Top Rank and Arum hates Mikey's guts for leaving him. Mikey would just go back to in-house after in-house fights again. No point.

              Mikey trusts Al Haymon anyway. They've already talked.

                  Yea dude, he really is all over praising him. I think it's why Ariza was let go from Roberts gym. He was in all these fighters ear like Mikey for instance pushing Haymon is the future bs. Maybe the gears were already in motion but I think he has a bad influence on Mikey's career outlook from where it is now and where it should have went

                      Since when? Oscar is still suing him for hundreds of millions. Al Haymon isn't just going to start working with him out of the blue like that.
