And Mayweather left HBO because he was offered the biggest deal in sports history by Showtime. Plus Mayweather belongs to his own company, TMT Promotions and has a contract with Showtime which he can leave anytime he wants and retire.
Lastly, Mayweather hasn't fought opponents coming off contreversial matches or losses since 2006. Pacquaio has to build himself up before Mayweather deems him as a viable option again.
They didn't really move, HBO is the one boycotting Golden Boy. It wasn't a good relationship though, b/c of who's the boss at Showtime.
The guy who runs Showtime Sports is Stephen Espinoza. Guess what his job was before that?
He was Golden Boy's main attorney, and after he got the Showtime job obviously GB got a lot of favors and HBO/other promotions were not happy about it.
It can't last forever, GB's roster is too deep and is the best in boxing. HBO will have to come around, who knows how long though.
Mayweather is not with Golden Boy hes with TMT permotions. The reason Golden Boy left was because HBO was not willing to match the deal Showtime was offering. Mayweather left first with the biggest deal in boxing.
Um it doesn't matter what show they're on Top Rank would've kept the fight from happening period. HBO favored Top rank over Golden boy and Mayweather and they cut all ties with Golden Boy. So GBP moved and they're quite successful.
HBO is a sinking ship. If PACQUIAO gets killed its over.
Why in the hell did golden boy move to show time they made it that much harder for us to see a possible pacman mayweather fight.
I think that mayweather would love to fight manny now that he was put to sleep by marquez
