When will people realize that if GBP was not involved in these negotiations there would be no dispute on purse splits. It would be 50/50 and we would move on to the fight of the decade Mayweather versus Pacquiao!
When FMJ fought ODLH he obviously gave GBP options on his promotional rights and therefore a piece of the pie whenever he fights. Thus, Floyd's people(Haymon and Ellerbe) are trying to make sure that Floyd takes home as much as Pac and the only way to do that is get Floyd a bigger cut of the purse to off set whatever GBP is going to be due.
If GBP did not have options on FMJ why else would anyone in their right mind let them be part of this negotiation? It is not to protect FMJ's best interest because he has Al Haymon for that.
This exposes the real truth which is that Floyd Mayweather Jr. is contractually obligated to fight for Golden Boy Promotions. He is in fact not self promoted by the sham company that is Pretty Boy Promotions. He is promoted by Golden Boy. His ego does not want anyone to know this but the facts make it impossible for him to deny it. He needed Oscar to start making "mega fight" type of money and Oscar and Schaeffer knew this. That is why they made him give promotional options to GBP in order for the opportunity to fight Oscar.
