i meant why would floyd work with a rival promoter.

The same logic applies.

And I imagine it's because they evidently do good business together.

[IronDanHamza]

was bob arum the fighter?!

No.

Was the no longer the boss because he worked with another company?

[shade darkar]

No.

your missing the point. if floyd is his own boss, why isnt he promoting his fights?

[MrClutch85]

50/50 ain't happening which means no fight point blank period

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

In other words Bob Arum wants 50-50.

Its not Pac.

yes i started watching boxing half an hour ago.

he hires them to handle part of the promotion, ok, and why does he do that?

Because he feels they have a better handle on certain things? For help? Why do you hire someone to do something? WTF?

You don't start out asking for 50/50 if you want 50/50~ it is a real weak position to take.

You never start negotiations at the bottom rung you will accept, it is cool to ask for that and stand his ground to get the best offer possible but this is not how you get 50/50~

your missing the point. if floyd is his own boss, why isnt he promoting his fights?

Who said he isn't? And how would that change his title? If Oscar is his own boss, why did he hire Richard Schafer? If Barack ***** is his own voice, why does he work with other North American leaders? You're too old for this.

so WTF do mayweather promotions do? twiddle their thumbs?

pacquiao was never worth 50%, floyd was just being generous before.

Don't kid yourself. Pac is the only fighter that would involve Floyd in the highest grossing fight in the history of the sport. Martinez would not earn Floyd anywhere near that.
