PBF better watch what he signs though as I don't see him fighting pass Pacman. Not sure why I say that but for $100 million, King will need 3-5 fights to make his $$$ back! Does anyone see him fighting more than 2-3 fights...I am having a hard time picturing that myself! Bring on Pacman vs PBF & fuck Margacheato & his cheating ass & his bullshit belt! Thoughts y'all?

It was a rhetorical question...I, like many others, truly consider the answer to be Baldomir.

You, and many other, would answer the question wrong then.

If this were Jeopardy and you threw out the name Carlos Baldomir, I might reply:

Who was the last fighter that Mayweather faced in a non-GBP event?

OK...Well to me and others Hatton was working under the GBP promotional banner as a GBP fighter with the intention of sticking with them. We can just disagree that he was basically a Golden Boy fighter at that point in time.

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.
