There are endless potential problems that might prevent these fights happening, not least that Floyd may be contractually obligated to GBP seeing as they loaned him serious money to pay off his debts before the Marquez fight. 50 Cent says that Mayweather Promotions is just a name, it's not an incorporated company and basically contracts GBP to run promotions for Mayweather fights. GBP may have Floyd under some sort of legal obligations that prevent him doing a deal with Arum.
Yeah I'm not oblivious to all that, just think it stinks personally should the fight come off now. As I said I wouldn't be at all surprised if Arum will suddenly bend over to salvage whatever cut he can before the fight isn't viable at all. I'm not sure why GBP would prevent Floyd from working with Arum though, always thought that was more of a personal matter between old Bob and Floyd. GBP and Top rank have worked together on plenty of other big fight cards.
