    Cotto is free, Floyd is tied to GBP.
    Floyd dumped GBP the day after Schaefer left. He has no contractual obligation to them. He had been working on a fight by fight bases with them like many Haymon fighters.

    The papers have been running this same story for five years now. They must be into double figures now at least. There are people in Dubai who have claimed to be putting on endless huge fights going back to De La Hoya's era but it's just talk. They're world class bullshitters.

    This arab promoter would have to put up too much guarantee to each fighter to put on the promotion in Dubi. Floyd would want a $100 million guarantee with a PPV percentage and pacquiao $50 million with a PPV percentage to agree. It's not going to happen! The guarantee for a promotion in the US would be something like $50 million and $25 million with ppv percentages. The only thing up in the air would be overseas ppv's. It's just too much money to guarantee so don't ever figure this fight is going to happen with the ego's these two have. They can't even call each other just to say "Congrats on your win. good fight man! I hope we can make something happen in the future" Why? because they live on different planets and have stupid people around them saying oh that's not a good idea.

    Floyd can't promote himself because his promotional company is only a front with no real fucntioning license. Not to say they he could'nt do it. Don't be fooled into thinking GBP wasn't getting a big slice of the pie. Floyd just doesn't want the fans to know it. He may not have any contractural obligations with GBP but he has never flown solo.

    Can Pac promote himself
    If GBP was getting this huge slice of Floyd's money how did YOU find out about it?......mexican.
    Share with us your vast inside knowledge of Floyd's finances with the rest of us...stop holding out.

    Your cross-dressin Vato Oscar didn't start promoting full time until he retired.

    @cyclone why do you take criticism of Floyd so personally?
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    It's not criticism at all....it's more like wishful thinking.

    There you go again, taking it emotionally personal.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
