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?

I think everyone understood the point with Hatton/GBP. It's just splitting hairs now. In the end, Mayweather/Hatton was a Golden Boy event, and Hatton was Golden Boy's fighter (officially/unofficially)

See above....but again, on December 8, 2007, both Ricky Hatton AND Floyd Mayweather were NOT GBP fighters...and that's OFFICIAL. The ONLY reason why anyone is splitting hairs (which I'm actually not doing, because facts are facts and Hatton was not under contract with GBP) is because Hatton EVENTUALLY did sign an "agreement" with Golden Boy months later, whereas Floyd didn't. So yeah, in the end, Mayweather/Hatton was a Golden Boy event, but Hatton WAS NOT Golden Boy's fighter. Hatton was no more a Golden Boy fighter when he fought Floyd than Mayweather was. That's the reason why Golden Boy Promotions issued a nice press release 3 or 4 months after that fight explaining that they had just signed Hatton, were delighted to be working with him and his FIRST fight under the Golden Boy banner would be coming soon. I don't get why that's so hard to understand when I already provided a link to the press release with the date on it.
