Retired former five division world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (49-0, 26KOs) completely backs the recent decision by Golden Boy Promotions to push back a potential mega-fight between Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez and Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin.
"People said I was scared, a coward, to fight Manny Pacquiao. Everyone can have their own opinion. I always said, 'If it's meant to happen, it'll happen.' At one particular time, that fight was worth $60 million.I waited until the time was right, when things were on my terms and we were the A side and we could do things our way, we turned that into a $600-million fight."
There you go. How can you dispute something that came straight out of the horse's mouth?

"Who the hell is Oscar? He's a moron!"
1 year later - Starts co-promoting with Oscar again
As much of a scumbag as he is, he might be the greatest boxing promoter ever. He had De La Hoya, Mayweather and Pacquiao. He built Pacquiao into a huge name just by having him fight people who had just been beat. Plus he managed to completely manipulate the boxing media for years and has probably made 10-20 times more money from Manny's fights than Manny himself has made. He is a complete crook but he's a genius at what he does and is funny as hell.
He damaged boxing a lot but a promoter's job is to make a ton of money while advancing your own fighters and there's no doubt Bob did an great job of that.
