Mayweather-Mosley was a real fight that Mosley wanted to win....

Could have fooled me. It was almost like Shane just gave up after 2 rounds & decided he did not want to win.

Mayweather-Mosley was a real fight that Mosley wanted to win....GBP would have been over the moon if Mosley had beat him....can't say the same about Pac-Clot, Clottey's effort, and Top Rank....

Big shit, so Mayweather took one credible fight since when? Cotto probably really wanted to beat Pacquiao as well. They are both fucked and I don't know how one can side with Mayweather and be against Pacquiao or one with Pacquiao and against Mayweather when it comes to recent match making. They are both cut from the same fucking cloth, they look for vulnerable fights and easy paths.
So Mayweather-Mosley was a real fight, what about all those fights that Mayweather has fought since moving above 140? He has had one clear real fight and maybe 2 if you are kind. Mayweather hasn't been consistently taking 'real' fights and either has Pacquiao recently. They are both fucked.

So agruing Hatton is not a Goldenboy fighter is NOT arguing semantics, but arguing Hopkins, Mosley, and all the rest of them arent GBP fighters IS semantics? I'm perplexed...

No matter what banner Hatton was fighting under I think comparing what Arum is doing to Mayweather fighting Hatton, Marquez, and Mosley is apples and oranges.

The Hatton fight was being proposed back before Mayweather left Top Rank, Mayweather took it and ran with it. The two would have fought regardless of promotional company. Marquez arguably has a win over Pacquiao and Pacquiao claimed Mayweather's #1 spot in the sport, you can decide whether it was a tuneup or chance to have a common opponent. Mosley was really the only fight to make after the negotiations went south and would have fought regardless of promotional company. Would a Cotto rematch, Chavez fight, Foreman fight, Clottey fight, or Margarito fight even be considered if it weren't for them sharing a promoter with Pacquiao? Valero was even being built up as an opponent, if he wasn't promoted by TR he wouldn't get a fight with Pacquiao.

Mayweather promotions. They sure are a fine company LOL. So what did Mayweather promotions do to promote the event? Maybe Hype knows what MP actually does because to my untrained eye GBP does everything & just adds MP to the banner above the ring.

Mayweather Promotions gives Mayweather a chance to put his name on the ring.. That's about it. I heard Mayweather doesn't want to pay the fees associated with promoting, I can't say if that's true though. I listed it because they were the only promotional companies to be on the banners for the Mayweather/Hatton fight.

Thats cool. It is just Mayweather Promotions seems to do nothing but magically get their name on the marquee.

It's not by coincidence that it's only on the marquee during Mayweather fights lol. I know he's some fighters though: http://www.floydmayweather.com/mayweather-...tions/fighters/

Some of the guys in his stable fought on his undercard for the Mosley fight, it seems like MP might do more than a whole lot of nothing.

I remember some of those guys on the card, lol. Wouldn't Mayweather be just like a middleman anyways? Using Mayweather's name/contact to get noticed? Also, judging by the fighters, it doesn't seem Mayweather or Golden Boy would have cared too much. By the looks of it, they would have cheaped out even more on an undercard than usual and more money for the others, haha.

Double post.

I am cool with that being said twice bro! lmao

Yes & if he wanted to fight another GBP fighter in the future he would be frozen out. GBP has the proverbial gun to the head of fighters that leave them since they have the HBO access & HBO = $$.

That's a risk that EVERY fighter takes any time they leave a promoter...I mean, if you piss someone off, then yeah, there's a chance you may not be able to do business with them, but I wouldn't say that GBP is the only way to make money with HBO. I mean, Jermain Taylor did okay without the services of GBP....so is Andre Berto. And those hurt feelings would only last for so long. I mean, if you're in a position to force a fight, then you're going to get it regardless of who your promoter may be.
